Unpack the files to the root of your device (or SD card).

In the current configuration it won't work!!
You have to make some changes :
Edit the files move and move2 with a Unix Editor like Notepad++ and change ...

Here are some tutorials on how to dismantle your device without breaking it.

SD card for ONE 3rd
Go 700 and maybe 300 and 500 are similar
Go X10 models useful to replace the HDD

I know ,you've heard it a lot:
It is not possible to use a custom warning sound for the original Tomtom safety cams!
