I hard-wired my nuvi with a fuse extender today.
Used slot 32.
Grounded the cigarette light adapters to the frame.
Using the same 7.5amp fuse I pulled out.

Nuvi works great.
But the radio is off.

Checked the radio fuse in slot 5. It is fine.

The battery died when I was hard-wiring. I jump started the car. Everything else works fine.

Could someone help? Thanks in advance.

 

the radio won't turn on... #32 controls the radio and some other things too... did you use an add a fuse for it?

 

If you jumped started the car, you needs to turn on the radio (push your volume knob) then it will say code. Use your preset #'s to put in the code.

 

I used the same fuse I pulled out of 32.
It is rated 7.5amp.
The fuse is still good.. since it charges my Nuvi.

My TL is a manual.
My driveway is sloped. So, I was able to let it roll and engage the gear to jump start it.
The code request does not come up even after I press the volume button.
The CD eject button did work.
The display shows HandsFreeLink. Thats it.

 

Here is the add-a-fuse extender that I used on fuse 32.

I reused the fuse I pulled out of 32.
Looks like I should have used a different fuse.
Also, I think I need 2 fuses.. not just one..

I will buy the small ATM fuses later today and check it out.
BTW, Does anyone know what amp I need for the NUVI 360?

 

I strongly believe that is your solution there. The add-a-circuit requires that you use two equally rated fuses. Make sure you insert another 7.5 amp fuse in there and you should be fine.

 

Thanks for all who responded.
All I needed to do is to add an ATM fuse..
As the name suggests, I added a 'add-a-fuse' line to the fuse box. It takes two fuses.. one to cover the fuse that I pulled out.. and the other one for the additional line I got.

Thanks again.. Now my GPS hard-wiring is complete.. It works great.
