Install Guide: Garmin Nuvi 750 w/Nissan docking unit

[minman]

I just bought some of that liner that you put under rugs to keep them from slipping out from under you. I cut some strips and doubled them over a few times and stuck them behind the nuvi. Seems to have fixed the rattles. See pics.

The docking station is designed for the 700 series (750, 760, 770), but if you go to TheNewX.org, there is a really good "How-To" on converting it for the 200 series.

Does anyone know how to get the nissan load screen on a nuvi 750 that did not come from nissan?

Thats just graphics that you can load via USB cable if Im not mistaken. You can load any graphics you want.

This is the start up Nissan logo I put on mine.
I can't remember if I scanned this or found it on
the internet somewhere. You can put anything there you
want. Just download it by USB to the picture section
of the Garmin. When you look at the loaded
pictures, there is a little box at the top left corner
that says "Display this picture at startup" or something
to that effect.

This is the image that I put on mine. If you add this file to your nuvi and set it to display at start up it will look like the others. I made the background of my image black though so it isnt the white square on a black screen. I've attached my file for your use.
