May 13, 2008 - A huge screen and slick interface make the Sony NV-U93T an absolute joy to use. On the same Navigon mapping engine and Navteq map data as the Sony. Disappointingly, the screen update chugs a bit, and on our test.

Excellent stuff! I can't replace sony.bmp and service.bmp in the Windows folder.

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.

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. 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.

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. 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.

Good choice, I can post more pics if you have issues installing it, I used a 10mm drill bit to open up the left-hand hole & the only issue I had was accidentally knocking off the connecting arm for the air vent behind the open/close 'wheel' when I was feeding the lead through.which after abit of fiddling I was able to snap back on!
Also, the fit is pretty snug, not jammed in but also not loose & 0.60mph in 11.6 secs means it won't come flying out under 'heavy' acceleration Quote: Hi PODCAST, I notice there are many SONY MODELS like 92,53,83 etc do you happen to know if any of them fit the hole in the dash and I would welcome more pictures I am about to order the Sat 29th Mar 2010 6:11 am.
