Excellent stuff! Thumbs Up

I can't replace sony.bmp and service.bmp in the Windows folder. How did you manage it?

2008 Freelander 2 TD4 S Manual Santorini Black

i couldnt rename but could drag and drop/overwrite by using explorer to open the device as a drive.

interstingly when you reset (using the button underneath, or one of the random resets i have experienced) these two files return to the original sony ones..

No luck at all for me I've tried both Vista (64bit) and XP (32bit) - both refuse to overwrite, rename, delete, change properties of the Windows directory files.

My Sony OS version is 2.1.00 (317)

Apparently there are three additional hidden partitions on the devices. One, mounted volume 4, contains a full copy of the original files and re-writes the system partition on reset.

I forgot to post my solution - first copy the service and startup bitmaps to a writable directory on the device and then move them into the windows folder. Dunno why it makes a difference Neutral

I've actually got one fully boxed, as new that I intended to put on eBay last night (but forgot). Anyone interested? This is the version with Bluetooth but without TMC - I've already added Speed Camera DB, u.pgraded to the latest firmware and added the newest map
