Thanks to you, I just saved a bunch of moolah! All that needed to be done to repair my GTM60 was to remove the fuse at the end, clean the metal ends with alcohol and VOILA!! It WORKS!!!

تشکر صدیقی صاحب از معلومات جامع تان !

Thank You so much, Sir, in my case it was a blown fuse.

Nice job, I thought the antenna was installed inside the gps. Helped greatly

appreciate the walk through of what it is and details are Important - many other vidz don't explain it - do we need it probably not but very instruction to share.

Thank you so much for this. I could literally not find a circuit diagram anywhere. A new GTM60 cable costs R 1850 in South Africa. To put it in perspective, that is equivalent to 74% of the new 2020 legal monthly minimum wage of a domestic worker in SA. Your help will help many others who simply can't afford to purchase a new cable. It does seem to me that I might have to purchase a new one. Even feeding it 5.2V DC (2.0 Amp) from a Lenovo tablet charger via USB, it turned the Nuvi on, but it would indicate the charge-bolt sign inside the battery logo & couldn't access any traffic devices. Perhaps I damaged the GTM60 when I fed it 12V a year ago. Thank you anyway.

Fantastic video my friend!!! ♥️♥️👍👍👍 Much appreciated!!!

I just bought a used Nuvi 3597 and the cable has poser issues and seems to be a loose wire. thanks to your video I will be able to fix it and understand how it works.

Thank you very informative i fixed my gtm.

Very thorough video, thank you Sir! OK the cable that is with my cigarette adapter doesn't have a third cable coming out of the receiver, I opened it according to your tutorial and checked. 2 wires going to the cigarette adapter and 6 wires going to the navi unit. There's though the jack opening for the aerial cable. So maybe I can cut it and lengthen? At least only lengthen the cable and keep the Garmin adapter too. It's going to occupy the cigarette adapter, and the other power outlet I have will be for the DVR and all power outlets the car has will be occupied . Thing that bothers me is, as you say these things are expensive, I can't sell it later to get the smart navigation unit with the BC-40 cam. Or, maybe, if it goes well, I can advertise the system as "stealth" installation, as no loose cables can be seen anywhere?

Thank you for your video. Very clearly explained. My GPS is a TomTom one, and I wonder where I can find the portion of the cable that it connect the screen and the middle portion of the receiver. Do you have any tips? Thank you so much again.

Great video. I have a cable to a Garmin Drivesmart 50 LMT. It has traffic but doesn't have the black box in the middle of the cable. Not sure how it does traffic. Mine has no power, with the LED not lighting. The fuse is good. Do you know if I would have similar circuitry as that in this video if I break into the unit? In other words, if the circuit board is bad on mine, do you know if I can use a board from cheaper Garmin ( without traffic). Perhaps the traffic-specific circuitry is also in the main housing on my cable?

That was good, thank you!

Excelente, muito obrigado me ajudou muito......

Hi, your video was very useful for me. I have a GTM25 and plugged it into my Garmin navigation, the navigation thinks it is just a power source and has no traffic information function. I took the power side apart and the structure is different than in your video, there are three wires, two white and one black. One black and one white should be the 5V output and the other white wire should be the antenna, but it's not soldered to any of the solder joints, is this normal? The traffic information receiving module near the plug side is also different from the one in the video, it's not plastic, it's rubber molded in one piece, how should I disassemble it. Thanks!

Thank you so much

👍Higher frequency like 400 Hz is used in many aircraft transformers to reduce the size, instead of ground based 50 / 60 Hz. Do you have a video on download and installing Garmin Traffic (USA)? Thanks☺

After seeing this I realized that if the cigarette lighter part was not working, but the traffic receiver part was OK, then you could also just remove The cigarette lighter and replace it with a simple USB-A or USB-C cable at the 5v power lines and then have a functioning traffic receiver cable that plugs into a USB port in the car rather than the bulky cigarette adapter. Is that correct ? Of course the USB port in the car would need to be 2A, but many cars have that now.

Will GTM 36 work with Garmin DriveSmart 55 MT-S? In the internet I can find it's useless: "[...]The HD Digital Traffic reception in the DriveSmart 55MT or DriveSmart 65MT is built-in to the GPS unit itself. It does not require an accessory traffic cable. It only requires the TA20 vehicle power cable that comes with it. This means that you don't need to drape your power cable to enhance coverage from the HD radio stations nearby; the signal is received directly through the GPS. One can use a GTM36 or GTM60 cable with the DriveSmart 55 or 65, but there is no advantage.[...]"

The red LED is on on my GTM60, but there is no power getting to the GPS. Is the red LED across the output of the 5volt supply, or it it wired across the 12volts on the input?

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I was thinking I might be able to just cut off the end of the cable and hard-wire it to my cars 12v switched circuit. But now I know that it would fry the mild circuit if I had done that. So thank you very much!!! I will instead will just buy a female cigarette plug and hard-wire that and plug the cable into that. My one question would be, I would think they could make a much smaller converter from 12v to 5v @ 2amps. Any thoughts?

Hello, my cable is broken close to the garmin navigator. You told it need to be garmin original cable, when replace the cable (so receiver works). But if i buy a cheaper power supply cable, and replace it (soldering new cable to the traffic receiver) I just wonder, does this new cable have 4 cables so the traffic receiver will work??? In most case, the cable is broken and a new gtm 35 cable cost too much for an old navigator. So please, where do I find a garmin cable with 4 cables to soldering to the receiver so the receiver works, or I can only repair so navigator get 5 volt power from the car? Sincerely Sture Andersson Sweden

Buen video, donde puedo comprar el cable receptor, saludos

What are differences between GTM25/35 and GTM26/36?

Hi, please help me I have dēzlCam LMT-D and the camera that shoots no longer work! appears that does not see the SD card, has update done sd card is reset and nothing! thx you

So do you do more GPS videos like the Magellan RoadMate and the TomTom I like the TomTom classic because you can customize the vehicle Arrow icon and the map colors like the route Lane and the turn arrow can be green which is you can customize so the Green Arrow icon green route Lane and green turn arrow like it says turn right turn left

Very informational! I guess TA10 and TA20 are just a regular Garmin charger + a third wire connected to USB's D+ or D-?

The Garmin GTM 25 is about $125 bux

Having issues connecting my gmt60 to Farmington dezlcam 85

So what do you I think if you want to make a video of a TomTom classic how to customize map colors do any color I like green can you show me how to customize map arrow icon and Route Lane and turn arrow notice says turn left turn right color to green and can you do a route demo we're the arrow icon in the route Lane and turn arrow says turn left turn right or I can see if it's green but the map is okay just the air icon the route Lane and turn left and turn right arrow

To much work. I just bought one for 60 bucks. And wala!!!! 😄😄😄
