-   tried all the tricks in the book:
  • press reset button
  • start up in maintenance mode and clear all user data
  • Start up in maintenance mode and clear all waypoints

don't know what else to do.. seems to do this after certain software updates?! currently running version 4.7 of software. Version 4.6 was fine... with version 4.5 the bluetooth kept crashing as well.-   ivanka769

Please try to do these steps:
Turn off Garmin Nuvi
Turn "bluetooth" function OFF (on your cell phone)AND turn off your cell phone
Now, turn on Garmin and make sure bluetooth is in enabled mode
Next, turn on your cell phone AND turn "bluetooth" function ON
Wait about 30 seconds or less, your Nuvi should connect now w/ a phone icon.

I understand, it's such a pain, but it works for me everytime I do this.
Remember, Phone must be off and bluetooth is also off before you turn on your Nuvi.
Good luck!!!

I had the same problem, and this is how I fixed it. Now it's working fine.


Thank you for contacting Garmin International,

If you are currently running the most current version of bluetooth software, and you are still seeing issues where your compatible phone is still not connecting properly, please try the below procedure, which will reinstall the version of bluetooth you have downloaded in case there was any corruption during the transfer or installation of the bluetooth version.

1. Power the unit on

2. Touch View Map

3. Touch the ETA/Speed button in the bottom left hand corner.

4. press and hold your finger over the speedometer for 10-15 seconds until a new screen appears.

5. Touch next at the bottom of the screen until the top blue banner reads Bluetooth Status.

6. Touch UPDT P, then Touch yes.

7. At this point the unit should go to a page that says Updating Bluetooth Firmware, allow this to finish, once finished, press quit, then press and hold the back button. At this point, go back through and try to connect your Bluetooth device again.
