Garmin DriveSmart 50LM NOH Questions and Answers

Question: I'm looking for a longish USB cable for my Garmin DriveSmart 50 that I can use to charge it in the car. I have the charging cable that came with it, but that is a fixed cable so I can't charge my phone at the same time. I have a dual USB charger for the power socket in the car but the USB cable that came with the Garmin (for connecting to my laptop) is too short. What USB cable should I get for charging in the car?

Answer: For charging in the car I would suggest and recommend that you ONLY use the genuine cigarette lighter as supplied with the Garmin DriveSmart 50. I don't know whether your Garmin DriveSmart 50 is a model ending in 'T' or 'T-D' e.g. DriveSmart 50LM NOH, if it is then the supplied charging cable also provides you with traffic information. A straight forward USB cable will NOT provide you with traffic information and it may also provide insufficient power/charge to your Garmin DriveSmart 50.

My recommendation would be to buy the Garmin High Speed Multi Charger and plug in your genuine cigarette lighter as supplied with the Garmin DriveSmart 50, Garmin High Speed Multi Charger also provides you with two USB ports to charge other items such as your phone.

Question: Do you sell digitiser and touchscreen for Garmin drivesmart LM 50 sat nav?

Answer: This part will ONLY be available from Garmin. You will likely need to return your Garmin DriveSmart LM 50 so they can carry out the installation. You can call Garmin UK on 0808 238 0000.

Question: I own a Garmin Drivesmart LMT 50-D. I am considering fitting a Garmin BC-30 Camera to the rear of my caravan and then adding an extension cable to enable the Transmitter to be sited in the caravan front window.

This will leave a distance of approx 4 metres between the transmitter and the Drivesmart Unit.

Hopefully this will be OK, but if the signal is weak, can I shorten the cable (I am unsure as to whether this a single or multi strand) to terminate at the tow hitch - fit a plug in connector â€" then use the balance to resite the transmitter within the tow car?

Answer: I would recommend that you ask your question of Garmin UK by telephoning 0808 238 0000 to discuss.

However, I can confirm that the BC 30 reversing camera is fully compatible with the Garmin DriveSmart 50LM NOH. In addition we sell the BC 30 extension cable.

Both the Garmin BC 30 reversing camera and extension cable are in stock today.
