Garmin C550 12 volt power cord

2008-09-30
The item purchased works perfect. The GPS will now work all the time with now power shut down. One thing to caution about is the insertion of the unit into the power socket, be careful that you are inserting it in the correct manner. Match the 3 grooves on the plug with the 3 grooves on the socket and depress the side poins before inserting. It will not fall out.

Garmin 12 volt Vehicle Adapter

2008-09-23
The Garmin adapter works better and is easier to use than the FM 12 volt adapter that comes with a new Garmin unit. It is smaller and fits car cigarette lighters better. The original FM 12 volt that came with the unit fell apart after the third use and had to be taped together - until if finally fell apart totally.

This is a much better adapter.

Excellent replacement cord

Excellent replacement for the original cord that broke for my Garmin. Good price at amazon.

Why have it?

2008-09-14
While I blame Amazon for advertising "Better together" , for the reason I purchasesd the cable, I found it was an expense to return an unneeded cable as the same cable comes with the Garmin GPS. The seller wants me to pay the expense of returning it plus a restocking fee. Since my purchasing it Amazon has changed their ad. However in three E Mails to Amazon I got flowering responses saying tough.

Works fine

Nice to have an extra power cord. Mine came with the GMT-20 that has the FM traffic receiver, but I don't need that feature, so I usually use this cord.

Garmin Replacement Charger

2008-08-27
I purchased the replacement charger for the Garmin Nuvi 770. The product is superior to the original since it has metal parts and not the cheap plastic. It was well worth the purchase. Always go to Garmin site to match up the model numbers before you order from a second source. The 770 Nuvi was not listed on the package but the Garmin site verified that the product was the same. Don't even try to repair the old part, there is not a glue out there that will hold it together. I received the part 2 days before the estimated delivery date (standard ground, no upgrade)

WARNING: Re: Nuvi 660 Traffic Alert

2008-08-26
This adapter does work for the Garmin nuvi 660.

However, If You Subscribed to the Traffic Alert, this adapter WILL NOT PICK UP the traffic alerts nor will you even get an icon on your nuvi. There is another fuse in the original adapter that came with your Garmin nuvi that supports the "traffic alert". If your nuvi is still under warranty, Garmin will send you out a repair kit that includes another tip at no charge. They can at their discretion void your warranty if you use another adapter that did not come with your original unit.

Please call 1-800-800-1020 (central time) 8am-7pm technical support. When the "automated person" comes on quickly press 2; then press 1 and you will be placed on hold for the next technician.

Not necessary....

2008-08-21
I was angry about ordering this. The GPS ordering page made it appear like it was a necessary item to order along with the GPS, so I did. Then the GPS arrived, and there was one in the box?

This was deceptive.....and it really angered me.

Amazon did make it right - they refunded everything, but only after I emailed them twice. It was shipped separately, so I had to pay separate shipping on it...etc...

It was a pain - and all because of their deceptive sales approach on the page.
