That plug contains a voltage regulator to change 12V to 5V. DO NOT connect the wires directly to 12V.

It's strange if the plug doesn't fit the cigarette lighter socket. They can be a tight fit so if you find it a little big for the socket try putting pressure on it to push it in. If it absolutely won't fit you can buy cigarette lighter plugs in car accessory shops. If you can get one that does fit you can cut the one that's on the lead off and fit the new one.

If you cannot get any plug to fit you can get the lead wired permanently into the car. Any garage would be able to do it for you.

I bought my gps yesterday and it suppose to have the bluetooth capability and it is no where to be found in the settings section.what am i to do.

The nuvi 1300 does not have bluetooth. The manual does give details for setting up bluetooth but that's because the same manual covers the nuvi 1100, 1200,1300 and 1400 range of satnavs.

Where to find operation manual for this unit

The manual for most Garmin products are available from their support site.

The direct link is http://static.garmincdn.com/pumac/nuvi_1100_1200_1300_1400_OM.pdf .

If the direct link doesn't work, start here: https://buy.garmin.com/support/manuals/searchManuals.faces?refresh=true . Use the drop down menus to select On the Road, Automotive, nuvi 1300.

I hope this helps.

I just bought a garmin nuvi 1300 and cannot get it charged. nothing fits into the gps. please help

your device should have come with 2 cables
- a USB cable which connects from your computer to the back of your Nuvi 1300 GPS
- an automobile power cable which connects from the 12v cigarette socket to the back of your device
both should be able to charge your device.

I got a Garmin 1300 for Christmas; when it is powered up, i get the Garmin name, then a green line begins from the left to start, Stops about one inch in and stops. It powers down and goes black. Help!

A Garmin Nuvi 1300 that won't start, or is acting erratically is symptomatic of having corrupt firmware.

To correct this, I recommend backing up your favorites, clearing all user data, and if it still is stuck, then updating your Nuvi firmware.

Follow these three steps to take to get your Garmin Nuvi 1300 running like new:

  1. Back up your Favorites.
  2. Perform a Hard Reset.
  3. Download and then run Garmin WebUpdater to replace its firmware / system software.

I hope that helps.
