AS WITH ALL ELECTRICAL HOW TOO,S.
You do This at Your own Risk if you Follow the How to Correctly
There Should be no Problems Thank You.


Again this must be done after the nav600/900 3d map upgrade has been done first
this will delete any poi,speedcams fav settings etc so they will have to be re added after theme change.

Please read this thread for more info how to load to the car etc in post 36.

There are ready made themes out there on the old interweb that you can just add to your nav600
if you are not that confident in making a theme yourself
but beware most are ok but some are missing info or corrupted or old dead links
so check them out and find if they are ok first.  

More info can be found in this thread..in post number 36.
this will tell you how to download and use the files correctly so please read that post in full.

I will show how to add one of the following start up animation logos from here for example
to your nav600/900 upgrade files or you chosen theme files.

First thing to do is go to your nav600/900 files
and click the dnl till you open the image file list
go to image.14.uli. and right click and delete this image from the list of image files.









Then go to your chosen start up theme and download the link
extract the file with winzip and save it to your documents
open the file and you will the images and a file called images.14.uli.
right click and copy this file.







Now go back to the nav600/900 files
and open the image list again
and right click and paste images.14.uil. back into its position.





And that's it now you can load it up to a USB stick
and upload it to your car happy days.


For how to load themes and startup animation to a usb and the nav unit etc please see the below link in post 36.

.....warnings Please read this.....


Remove any poi,s before doing an updated or new theme.

If you are doing a theme update and have upgraded the nav SD card to a newer version
than you used for the original nav 600/900 update
then you must remove the newer SD card
and then reinstall the SD card you first used before doing any new theme update etc
after the theme update has been done and the system has rebooted
then you can put your newer SD card back in and it will update the card again
then put any POI,S back on.

Anyone who has a nav 900 SD card will need a theme that runs with v200 or v208
the card will bring up all the files for voice recognition on the nav, usb, etc
and the nav will speak to you but you still can not talk to it.

Pressing the phone button on the nav unit first before pressing the steering wheel button
is a normal function of a nav900 the same would apply if you wanted to talk to the nav usb etc on a nav900.

The original nav600/900 update is a v181 file
most themes are v200 when you update a theme in full it will become a v200 file
you can swap or copy and paste a image file say uli.14. uli.22. and uli.11. from another v200 theme
but do not try and copy and paste any other resbin.file or system file or font.uli etc from a v208 or v181 file into a v200
as mixing system files will brick the nav unit.
best thing to do is just alter the uli.image files only and do not attempt to alter any system files at all
the gm-respacker will not repack any system batch files ,resbin etc it will only pack the image.uli.files.

some v200 theme files have had there poi icons set up with speed icons 30, 40, 50, etc
these have been edited and will show on the nav map and pop up speed camera icon
and the poi list in the nav settings as 40mph symbol etc
this type of theme files are best avoided as they look crap
you can not edit the resbin. to remove these symbols from the nav map so there best avoided.

what you want is the v200 files that have the poi icons for the speedcams image
they look much better and have the starry night sky in the night theme sat nav
to check you have the correct ones before you upload it to the car
look in image.20.uli with the gm-res unpacker and check the images for the speedcam image
if it has the 30, 40, 50, 60, etc look for a different theme.

Do not try and add two night themes or two day themes to a v181 v200 v208 file
same with fonts you need to have night and day or the text color will vanish.

there are v208 files out there there the latest files but they're no different to the v200 files
the problem will come when say if you made a mistake on the update of a theme with v208
and you have already used v208 before and the nav unit goes into bootloader mode
then you need a v208 res disc to recover the nav unit like you did when you first installed the original v181 3d map update
if you were to add the v181 disc if your v208 usb did crash then it could brick the nav
so if you are using v208 then stick with the v208 files and only update the images.uli.1 to 24 and you should have no problems.

if you have v208 and uploaded a v200 or v181 theme in full to the nav unit you risk going into bootloader mode and risk brick without the v208 res disk.

If you are unsure about doing any editing or updating don't be afraid to ask on here
beware also there are bad links out there as well as good ones on the interweb so we only recommend
you use links to themes that have been proven to work again we hold no responsibility
for anything that goes wrong doing this type of update is purely at your own risk.
