Hi everyone, I had a defective A118C which I returned to Amazon. I got a Garmin 20 from Costco, figuring that "returns" will never be an issue.
Prior to this, I hard wire the A118c and I intend to reuse the setup. Problem is that when plugged in, the Garmin goes into Mass storage mode during start up.
I have searched the forum, there seem to be a divided opinion.
1. Data cable: Either cover or tape the middle circuits and fool the camera to think it's OEM cable. I've tried, I must be doing it wrong because it's either no power or mass storage.
2. Insufficient / different power source. Non OEM charger detected by the camera.
If it's just the cable, I don't mind, cutting and soldering the OEM head into the setup (I can't return it after). but if its the power source then I will just live with the mass storage mode (just click cancel)
Anyone had experience with Garmin 20 and Mass Storage mode?
Thanks for the input.
