| INCORRECT | I have a garmin 200w. I dont not have a resistor hooked up but when testing pin 1+4 and 1+x they both came out 5V. The garmin thinks its hooked to the computer. i am using a 12v out on a Computer power supply with a 5.1V resistor. What should i do? | APPROVED |
| CORRECT | With your meter measuring resistance, you will see either a resistor value or open between x and 4. If you are seeing the resistor value, and also 5V between 1 and x, then x and 4 are connected together (by the resistor) and that is why the 5V has a path to ground. | APPROVED |
| CORRECT | Bought a car charger with a mini usb connector, dismantled the plug and removed the resistor then soldered pin 4 and 5 together and it works fine. In diagnostic mode it says its connected with a type A device. With the garmin official power cable it says connected with power cable.
All in all a good get you out of trouble power cable when the genuine one breaks! | NOT APPROVED |
| CORRECT | Works fine! I have a NUVI 350, used 18k between pin 4 and 5. Device consumes not more than 400mA, but is navigating and charging.
Thanks! | NOT APPROVED |
| CORRECT | If you don't have 18k resister, you can short the pin 4 and pin 5. No issue at all. may nuvi 660 works fine with that. | NOT APPROVED |

| INCORRECT | Not sure what I am doing wrong ? I have a typical car charger adapter that outputs +5V dc. I also bought a USB cable (USB A to mini USB). I cut off the USB A side and keep the mini side. I connect as follows :
Car Adapter RED <-> Mini USB RED (PIN 1)
Car Adapter BLK <-> Mini USB ground/wire shield (PIN X)
Mini USB PIN 4 <-> Ground (PIN X), w/ and w/out 20K Ohm
None of the connections puts the device into charge/navigate more. I keep getting stuck in the data mode. | NOT APPROVED
