Hi, I haven't used forums much so please bear with me if I make protocol mistakes. I did a search on my topic first but don't see anything.

I love the MPX 220 after a week and am just starting to realize how customizable it is. Got lots of great info from this forum already on that including the timeout for the external display.

What I want to know is there anyway to program the External Display? This is my first flip phone. Current info shown is fine but I expected that when a reminder popped that the External Display would at least show the title. Without that I need to open the phone to see what the meeting, task, etc. is for.

Is there anyway to program/change what is shown on the External Display?

Thanks in advance - any help would be greatly appreciated. Julie

What a great idea! I fear it was too great to have ocurred to Moto though. I bet someone out there could tweak the phone to do it though. C'mon Hardcore guys, any takers?

The external LCD images are located here: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\ExternalLCD]
"BgImage" = "\Storage\My Documents\ExtLCD\Longhorn Bliss.jpg"

So just drop your images into that same folder and you'll be able to select it.
