Keith, I've tried both red and blue with no results. I'm using all standard premade cables, I'm not toogood at making my own.
Also the Nüvi doesn't give an error nor does it go into Dispatch mode. On the Tracker2 i have firmware build 55076 and the Nüvi is version 6.20...If that helps at all. Right now I have the vehicle half torn apart so everything can be in one little area. Regards, -Frank C. On Jul 15, 2010, at 13:42, "Keith VE7GDH" <[email protected]> wrote: Frank KG6NLW wrote... Yes it's powered via the cradle. Great. The Nuvi must be powered externally for the FMI cable to work. I'm assuming there is no fix for this. Everything is setup step for step and still nothing. I guess it was a good idea but... If anyone gets any brain sparks, please feel free to drop me a line. There's always a fix. It should just be a matter of determining exactly what the problem is. Are you plugged into the red or blue connector? The red is port A and the blue is port B. I would go with BMODE set to GARMIN and plug it in the blue connector. Then you can have AMODE set to AUTO and have the option of connecting a puck type non-display GPS receiver without any re-programming. So... if you have another GPS receiver that can output NMEA, set it to AUTO instead of GARMIN and see if the OT2m sees the data from the GPS. Do you have the transmit data and receive data switched around in the cable? Does the Nuvi go into "dispatch" mode or does it show an "error" icon on the screen? You have hit the nail on the head with the "not communicating" but the next step is to find out why. 73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!" ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
