I had the same problem with mine. I called Garmin and talked to someone, he said mine was still under warranty and he sent me a new one out. Hope this helps...

The same thing happened to me. I actually called Garmin about this and was told by one of their "technical" people that the receivers can actually wear out and will no longer function. Since the cord also serves as the "power cord" for the unit itself, the GPS will continue to work just fine. You can do a couple of things to remedy the problem: 1) buy a whole new GPS, which Garmin would LOVE you to do, or 2) you can buy a replacement cord/receiver from Garmin ($59.99) or any of a number of vendors on Amazon. I purchased a used one from a vendor and it is working just fine! Hope this helps ... The same thing happened to me.

I have this device. But now it doesn't work anymore. When ever I plug it into my car the light just turns red and there's no station indicator

same for me; it does not work; I ended up buying a Garmin charger (which was ~$20)

Is the signal flickering. Or just out not receiving. If it flashing or flickering you probably have a cable problem. If you no signal the box may have a bad output

Turn off your phone. Take your old car out and wipe it off carefully. Teinstall the card and restart your phone. This has worked for me in the past. Good luck

Mine never worked, bought it for a road trip, had to buy another brand enroute. It was broken from the time it came out of the box.

I found out from Garmin that a traffic receiver is available. It is GTM 25 and sells for about $100. It will provide lifetime traffic and is compatible with several GPS units. Some are 285wt, 205 series. I would suggest to anyone that has a traffic receiver with MSN to try out the traffic feature and if you like it or need it, then purchase a traffic receiver.

I have the same exact problem. Trade Station suggests replacing the motor and if that doesn't work replace the diverted.

Most likely due to a weak signal. Try a station close by and see if it's still a problem.

Double check your wiring, if they flashed correctly with the old signals you may just have the wires crossed

I had that issue too. It wouldn't charge anymore either. Contact the seller, very easy to work with and they sent me a new one for free.

This particular power cable does not have the capability to enable the traffic feature. You need the cable that has the traffic receiver.

Hi Diggity Skitty:Try de-activating the traffic service on your nuvi 265T by going to settings. See how it works out for a couple of days. If the strange recalculating (or re-routing) is still happening, then go ahead and return it. It may just be the NAVTEQ FM Traffic Service. Also, have you updated your software to version 4.6 from the Garmin WebUpdater on the Garmin.com Website? See if the updated firmware works. I did that for my 265WT so I will see how that works out.

Yes - and as an update this is still working great for me. Keep in mind though - the traffic updates are through your power cable supplied by nuvi. Its the cable itself that has the traffic receiver in it. So this will charge it and will position it but if you want traffic updates you have to use the original cable connected to a power source.

According to our dealership, the remote that I bought is not sending out a signal. I also noticed that i does not have any fcc. numbers stamped on it like the old one or on the replacement I purchased from NAPA.
