Evening all,
Thought it a great idea to share some of the splash screens that I’ve gathered and compiled since having the ability to customise them.
First off; to use a customised splash screen on your RNS-E PU then you must be running the custom firmware fw280 or above (only fw290 above right now which is at Beta V3). I’m running the Beta V3 and it’s great but I won’t go on about it as you can investigate it yourselves. I have mentioned the custom firmware many a time on my Project OEM Thread.
In the following posts I’ll add a picture of what’s been produced and proved to work on my own RNS-E along with an attached file. The attached file is a .bmp (bitmap) image file but the Forum software doesn’t recognise it. I will therefore change the file type to .jpg so it can be attached and downloaded. To use it you will have to change the file type from .jpg to .bmp., hope that makes sense.
To upload a custom splash screen you will need to ensure that the file name is in lower case and named as follows:
splash.bmp
No other name will be recognised by the RNS-E during the update process. The files I attached will be named correctly but you'll of course have to amend the filer type from .jpg to .bmp.
The 'splash.bmp' file must be in the root directory of the SD Card in slot 1 (left hand slot) for the RNS-E to locate it during the update process.
The update process is quick and easy to do, you first have to access the Engineering pages of the RNS-E:

The update process is quick and easy to do, you first have to access the Engineering pages of the RNS-E:
- Press the NAV button
- Press the RETURN button until you land on the destination entry screen
- Press and holds the top left quadrant button for 6 seconds
- Press and hold the top right quadrant button for 6 seconds
- The opening Engineering Page will now be displayed:
- Select General by pressing the large dial inside the quadrant buttons
- Using the same large dial scroll to Update splash
- Your RNS-E will take a few seconds to extract the 'splash.bmp' file then automatically reboot
- Post reboot you will see your new custom splash screen displayed
- It will now be stored on the flash of the RNS-E and you'll be presented it each and every time you switch your ignition on.
