Navigation & Audio Anyone Got a Garmin NUVI MINI.srf file?
ok, i came here to find some info on installing a fog light assembly, and somehow ended up in this thread. I now have my nfr mc in my nuvi, and about to add some pictures, thanks guys...
I do have a question, besides the brief time when you first turn on the nuvi, why else, when else would you use pictures.
I also saw mention of listening to music thru nuvi, via the aux port. Mine is a 200, does not have the round hole, just the usb on the back, and what looksl like a memory stick slot on the side. So is there any other way to connect it to the car speakers?

Also the SD card slot is for extra maps and such you can buy from Garmin.
thanks.. its brand new, mom got it for me for christmas. I don't suppose i really need it to be an mp3 player.. but if it could be used that way I would. I have an ipod that i used in the car. although I do need to find a better way to use the ipod besides having it hang from the rearview mirror w/the aux cord hanging down..

I NEVER use that feature, but it's there! I think your model may do so too.
The requests are still coming in and I am getting to them as I can... At this point this thread has been discovered in England and now Germany.. Truly amazing.. 
I had now idea it would be like this..
I am in talks to get finished files on a server too.. Then future requesters can download icon files directly instead of waiting for me to send them out.. But I hope I have not been too slow in responding.. It is the requests for new combinations that can take longer..
Since this thread went to a new page I thought it time to update on the options that I have now too.. And to answer some of the common questions I get in PMs..
NOTE TO ALL: My icon files are now available at this site.. ...
Here is the new (full list) of add-ons that I have..
-Black Roof
-Black stripes
-White Roof
-White stripes
-Sunroof
-Silver roof
-Colored UJ roof
-B/W UJ roof
-B/W Checkerd roof
These addons can be used on the following MINI body colors..
- Dark Blue
- Laser Blue
- Purple
- Chili Red
- Green
- British Racing Green
- Yellow
- Dark Silver
- Silver
- SparklingSilver
- Black
- Pepper White
The "projects" still out there - If some of you want to jump in and help.. This is where I could use it..
.... U shaped bonnet stripe
.... Straight Racing stripes
.... Boot stripes
.... Hood Scoop addon - to make it look more like an MCS
.... Red tail light option - not just "grey"
.... Red Mirror caps - for GP version
Custom Request I have not been able to do are..
- Electric blue / EB with sunroof / ?? stripes - MINIdave
- GP version MINI - simplekid15
- DS, black roof, red caps, black viper stripes with red - PGT
Other helpful links..
... The "standard" icons are from this link ...
... Install instructions are on post #74 of this thread..
My basic process is...
... Convert an srf to a png file ..here
... Edit the png file with GIMP
... then convert back to srf format - same conversion site.
... install on Nuvi and enjoy..
Well that is all for now..

Sorry no luck with the GP version.. It is a bit beyond my skills at this time..
I was hoping someone with a true 3D rendering of a GP could connect with me and I could describe what is needed to make this a reality... But I dont have that software.
Sorry,

Wow - unbelievable work! Thank you!!!!
I have been thrilled with my CR/W with white stripes, (was my first MINI),
even though now I have a CR white stripe CONVERTIBLE, it is still ultracool.
I couldn't see a vert version anyway- what would you have, different upholstery options???
You do great work. Thanks.

What exact icon & color combo do you need for your mini?
I'll make you one for free if it's just colors and standard tweaking needed. Just PM me your email or something. Cheers.

Here is a PNG file for anyone interest in sport stipes that I made. It can easily be edited in Photoshop and converted to an .srf here:

That didn't work the way that I wanted it to...send me a pm if interested and I'll email to you.
This IS where you can convert it once it's modified though.

THANKS!
BBCooper.
First, thanks again for my icon. I think it's time to make a new thread that is a sticky (moderators) One that summarizes all the links on how to create icons and edit them. I have a couple of sites to add to the list that are very helpful...
POI Factory has a long discussion here, and has been very helpful. They also have the Redlight Camera list for the US, very cool...
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/9738
Some more fun custom icons...
http://www.alice-dsl.net/fahrzeuge/index.html
A Windows Paint program that allows you to edit the icons...
http://www.paint.net
A blog where the guy is making all sorts of very detailed icons, including the 60s Batmobile and the Mach 5 from Speed Racer. His icons are much better than MINI's or Garmin's! There is even a Yellow Submarine for days when your NUVI is on a boat (and using Bluecharts!)
http://glad-you-asked.blogspot.com/2...s-dig-car.html
And a complete list of sites to sort through...
List of "pre-made" Vehicles websites
I agree with Lerch and would like to see a page where they are all posted. I started a collection of websites of vehicles that people have created. I thought this might be a good place to post them. Let me know what you think!

Enjoy.

Anyone doing Clubbies yet?
I'm still using the EB/EB that BBcooper (TYVM!) did for me, but it would be fun to have a Clubby icon, since I now have a Clubster.......
Lazer Blue/Lazer Blue, with roof rails but no sunroof, please...

So... my bbcooper BRG/W w/stripes w/suroof MINI is a pretty close approximation of my Lewis and just kills everyone who rides around with me.
But... is there anyone with the skills to make one with lightning bolts? Lewis looks like Coop, but BRG/W, like my sig.

Thanks to BBCooper and tokyomini for the files to allow me to quickly generate a CR-CR with a sunroof. I did not test the file on my nuvi765 yet but will post for download if anyone is interested.

I must be doing something wrong as I cannot get the file I downloaded from the hunter99 site to work with my 755t. Looks like the file size is different from what came on the unit, so not sure if that is a clue. May have to try doing the edit/conversion myself.

Hope that helps,
