\nWhen you connect your TomTom to your PC it connects by mapping part of its internal or SD flash file system as a USB Fash Drive. You will find these splash files in the root of the mapped drive on your PC. Before making any changes you should make a complete backup of this mapped drive including all hidden and system files.
\n
\nYou can simply replace these files with files of your own. Files must be 480×272 Windows 24bit RGBs .BMP format (320×240 for TomTom One V3). Here’s mine, feel free to download and enjoy.

\nFor owners of TomTom One V3 the file names will be slightly different (splash.bmp & antitheft.bmp) however the mechanism remains the same. Also please note that if you use your device upside-down you will need to create upside-down images as the TomTom does not do this automatically.
