    I searched and came up empty-handed...

    Looking for valid srf file(s) that I can upload to my Garmin nuvi to have my car display on the maps....

    Anyone got a good PW/PW available or a working location from another site/host?

    Right-click and do a file...save as... (or whatever your browser names it) on the download link once you find the one you want.

    fwiw, I was not able to use their files on my 755. Apparently the specs are slightly different. I ended up having to make mine myself. Of course, that means mine has my stripes on it.

    Here is the link to the page, the above link didn't work.

    MINI File download page

    I used the mini files for my new 1350LMT Nuvi and it worked very well.

    Nope. Still get HTTP 403 Forbidden when I try to download. I am in IE and have tried the download link and "save target as". I can't even see any previews.

    I usually consider myself pretty capable with this stuff but I am left feeling like an idiot right now.

    I found it to be a PITA too, but it finely worked. Can't remember what I did though. :frown2:

    Checked it out too...I'm getting

    Forbidden
    Access denied by access control list.

    If you would like I'll host them and hang them on easy to access location.

    Tried on my Mac and Win7 box and no luck with either. I also tried with IE, Chrome and FF.

    If it helps, I have the srf files for the red mini w/black stripes that I downloaded from the above site before it went bad. I also have the mini logo jpg that can be used as the opening screen when your garmin powers on. I'll post them tonight after work.

    What all were you able to get. I'm still not having any luck and was hoping to nail the laser blue with stripes.

    Well, srf files can't be uploaded to the post - PM me and I'll email them to anyone who wants them. I have red with black top and stripes, and also found a legacy file that has silver, red, laser blue, BRG, sark silver and yellow, but don't know the roof colors.

    Instructions to install:

    1-Use a USB cable and connect to your Nuvi to your computer.
    2-Navigate to the Garmin \ Vehicles directory
    ... you should see other srf files there.
    3- Copy your new MINI (or other srf) file to this directory.
    4- Safely remove your Nuvi from the computer.
    5- Power on your Nuvi.
    6- Select to Tools, Settings, Map, Vehicle
    7- Use the scroll arrows to find you new vehicle icon and select OK..
    8- Enjoy navigating with your MINI icon in your MINI.

    Add the splash screen logo to the pictures folder - once you've started the unit, go to settings and choose this picture as the startup screen.

    You are correct, srf files cannot be attached. I will be happy to place them on the server and provide links to download.

    Get all of it, host it somewhere and let us pick and choose?

    Nathan said he would host it here. I think that is a great idea. :Thumbsup:
