There are two types of USB cables used to connect Garmin automotive devices to the computer: mini-USB and micro-USB.
Locate the USB port on your device and reference the images below to know which USB cable to use. The USB port may be located under the device's mount.
mini-USB port:
Some devices come with a USB cable in the box when purchased new. If you need one, however, a compatible
mini-USBcable can be purchased from
Garmin's website.
micro-USB port:
Though your device should have come with a cable in the box when purchased new, a replacement
micro-USBcable can be purchased from
Garmin's website.
When connecting your device to a computer, it is recommended to use a Garmin brand USB cable to ensure that the device communicates with the computer properly.
Some newer Mac computers may have only USB-C ports, which would require an adapter to plug in a Garmin automotive device as seen below.
