Nuvi 40LM does not come with a data cable but it is purchasable separately from Garmin.
Yes. You can charge the device while on move with car charger (provided). However, there is no wall charger to browse maps at home / use in pedestrian mode.

This is what I feared. I saw the pics and was suspicious. In my 2465 the connector for the USB is a micro USB, while for the 12V adapter it is a mini-USB. Blackberry's (my old Curve for example) used this connector. I am not sure what is used by current BBs.

Hi,
I have a query, recently purchased a VW Vento 1.6 HL TDI. Interested to fit in a GPS System with a reverse camera.
VW is offering a Garmin GPS system with reverse camera for approx 30,000.00 but the model no. is also not clear to the dealers.
So, I plan to fit Garmin nuvi 2565 LM with a Bluetooth wireless reverse camera. After talking to the engineers they will just connect the reverse camera to the rear reverse light to draw power, the main device to the cigarette lighter socket.
I also had a discussion with the VW workshop wherein i requested that as they are not clear with the model no they should help me fit the model i purchase for outside and charge an appropriate labor cost. (Which they refused outright).
My Concern is If i get this done from outside will it void my warranty.
Frankly speaking VW vehicle is one excellent one but VW service and the staff is pathetic.
Being new If the post is in wrong thread please help to move it in the right forum.
Regards
Vishal.

Vishal, its not only vw, all car dealers says everything will avoid warranty.
If any wire will be cut, you will surely void warranty. Which if you fit reverse camara, will surely void it.
It will be good if you contact raj, as he is working in vw (afaik)

I have recently purchased Garmin Nuvi 1450 GPS from US. I would like to install India map in it. Which map is good one to install in Garmin? How much will it cost? Is Life time Free update available for the map or do we need to buy updates time-to-time? Where can I buy in Chennai?
1. Navteq / MMI or Satguide are the options. Navteq is $99.99. Satguide is the cheapest.
2. No free upgrades. This is the reason I passed on my 265WT (bought in the US) to me son, and got myself a unit 2465LM with lifetime maps.
With lifetime maps getting them from the US is no longer economical in the long term.
Of course 'cracked' maps (Navteq and MMI for sure) are available on the web for free. I will not post the link here since that will be supporting an illegal activity.
