Hello dear friend! I liked your explanation, as simple as it was useful...excellent as always! Best regards from here on the coast of Mar del Plata Argentina Ferni Deck by Garmin Deck
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!!!
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.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Mine has a 3 wire where the power comes in. it is white (antenna?)....Do you have some thing on the 3 power wires,,,the black and red are basically wired together as they are bare coming from the cord, and the white one has separated from the board.
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.
You are very welcome, and yes you are correct if the traffic receiver in the middle of the cable is subject to 12V it will get damaged. Don't worry you can find a defective one for a few dollars on eBay and use the circuit board from that one to fix this one. Good Luck
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.
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?
Yes as long as there is no third cable going to the Cigarette lighter port it should be fine to cut it short. However remember that you still need the circuit board inside the Cigarette lighter adapter port because that is you step down voltage inverter. The input is 12-24VDC and the output is 5VDC. So you cannot feed 12V car battery power directly to the GPS, or Dash Cam.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Thank you very much for your help! I was using another cigarette adapter that had 3 ports, albeit without a fuse. It fed all my devices, but now, for the sake of keeping the value of the combo I'll use the Garmin one.
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?
Thanks, If your Garmin Cable is TA10 with a yellow LED, or TA20 with a blue LED then it means your Garmin GPS has the traffic receiver inside of it. So the cable only serves as an Antenna for the internal traffic receiver. In that case you are correct any cheaper cables' circuit board should work for you as long as it is the same current 2A. Also for your information the traffic receiver is inside the black box in the middle of the cable, not on the cigarette lighter part.
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.
These are some common causes of fuse blowout. 1. Short Out the output 2. Let the Cable or GPS get wet 3. Use the cable on a GPS other than what it is designed for 4. Use the cable in a car with Bad Alternator 5. Fried components inside the GPS
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.
Hi, yes you can but add a 100μF 16V electrolytic capacitor to the output so that it can handle the aggressive current fluctuation that the Garmin will subject the USB port to. This way the Garmin Screen will not flicker during usage.
Greetings, you can buy it from here www.mcssl.com/store/buy-green-inc/garmin-gtm-60-hd-high-definition-traffic-condition-receiver-cable-lifetime-subscription
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?
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!
Hi, I believe you have the older style GTM25 like this one www.ebay.com/itm/391239830947 unfortunately they are can't be disassembled unless you brake it. Yes the white cable is supposed to be not connected to anything on the cigarette lighter port.
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 difference between the standard ( Analog ) FM receivers and Digital HD receivers is not only the traffic information coverage, but the speed at which it refreshes. For example lets say there is an accident on the freeway the Digital Receivers will notify you much sooner than the Analog. The same goes when the accident clears. Also depending on where you live the HD Receivers can get more than traffic such as weather conditions road closures etc.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 but do you know will my garmin detect GTM 36? For now with basic original car charger when in garmin I open app "Traffic" it says "Open the Garmin Drive app on your phone". So I'm confused will it also work with GTM 36.
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
Hello Mr. Andersson. You can buy a cheaper version of Garmin GTM cable even a broken one from ebay for less than $10 and then use the cable to repair your more expensive GTM35 Traffic Receiver. For example this is only nine dollars www.ebay.com/itm/393566192507
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Thank you for fast answer! So you are sure that the cheaper original garmin charger cable have 4 inner cables connected to the plug, so the traffic receiver will work after I solve the cable to the old cables traffic receiver? Plus and minus is easy to see but the other 2, if they are not in the same color as in the old cable, then maybe receiver not work or broken? What do you think? Sincerely Sture Andersson
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?
👍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☺
GTM25 is for older models, GTM26 is for older models but European Edition, GTM35 and GTM36 is for newer models, and GTM60 is for Newer models with HD Traffic

@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Thank you for your answer. Will try to find out whether it's D+ or D-. BTW for TA10, Input 10-24V DC 1.5A, Output 4.75-5.25V DC 1.0A.
@@j.d.3269 Yes but the output is 5V they write 4.75-5.25V to describe the tolerance or fluctuation in voltage. This is the case with any DC power supply the voltage is never exactly what is printed on it. It fluctuates based on many variables such as load, input source, operating temperature etc.
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

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
Sure once I get my hands on one of these I will do that. Can you tell me which exact model you are talking about because I have hundreds of GPS devices and I might have it.
You are correct it is not worth the time if your time is worth more than the value of this item. For example if you are a Doctor or Engineer who makes the $60 in half an hour it would be a waste of time to fix this. However if you are a minimum wage employee making $60 a day, then it would be worth spending an hour on this to fix it. Also replacing the fuse is something you can do in 30 seconds so it's worth checking the fuse before you throw it away.
