I found out it wasn't the unit - the cord/charger was bad. A lot cheaper to replace than the main unit. If you know someone else with the same model, try borrowing their charger cord and testing it with your unit. Odds are that's the problem. Good luck.

The internal battery is constantly being recharged while the unit is operating. Has the unit been in storage for a long period? Also I believe there is a reset button on the unit. Just a small hole where you insert a pin or paper clip to push it. I don't have the unit in front of me but this would be typical. Good luck.

We purchased our November 2012 and used it year 1 w/no issues, year 2 the unit failed several times and unplugging and plugging it back in worked, however, we are now on year 3 and the unit works for 3 minutes at a time and auto shuts off and won't light until cooled and unplugged and plugged back in. Today sent a note to the manufacture for assistance/replacements parts.

I highly recommend that you do not buy this unit, if you already have it try and take it back or sell it. I had mine for about a year and it went kaput. It never jumped a battery, only thing it was good for was pumping up tires, and it don't even do that anymore. Definitely don't ever let it go more than a few weeks without juicing it up again. If that unit goes dead it wont recharge. I have been very unhappy with my purchase. I wont ever be buying another B&D; ever again. Hope I didn't discourage you, just trying to give you heads up on this thingy.

I cant swear to it but i have this problem when using on my motorcycle and i traced it back to a lose conection on the power adapter scocket wigling the plug always turned it right back on tried taping the plug and socket togther and probleb was solved, check you power outlet in your car and make sure the garmin plug fits snugly.

This has not happened to me. The only time it has shut off is when the battery is dead.

We never had a problem and it does not shut off. You should check with manufacturer to see if it can be a defective unit

With mine, I press stop, and then radio off. It shuts down within about 15 seconds

If it gets stuck or confused it will shut down....if the dirt tray pops open...it will shut down. I have had mine for 4 months. It has mapped the first floor and only runs into trouble if I move a chair around. If it turns off I take it back to the charging station. Once recharged it is good to go. If you are in the warranty period I would contact the manufacturer. btw. I had purchased a refurbished "class E" model so it was already debugged.

Garmin, here in Canada, has admitted the Nuvi 660 has a chronic antenna problem. My only solution is to have it replaced with a refurb unit at Garmin's Canadian tech contractor for $305.00That's a lot to spend on a $600 piece of technology only 14 months old.Shame on Garmin....and shame on me for making the purchase....

Thanks for this.Steps 2-5 worked for me when I was in a continual loop of connection and disconnection with my Razr v3. The phone had worked perfectly with the Nuvi 360 for about a month, but it then started to continually connect and disconnect, with the phone constantly 'seeking' the nuvi. I tried a 2nd phone to make sure the problem was with the Nuvi.I already tried factory resets and had the latest firmware on the Nuvi so the web updater didn't help. Going through the engineering screen and reinstalling the bluetooth firmware seems to have worked. Seems like a bug and reinstalling the bluetooth firmware on the Nuvi clears it.I'm otherwise really happy with the 360 so I'm glad this was a relatively simple fix.

Hey Edward, without a little more info I can only guess at why your unit is shutting off. One possibility is if their is not enough airflow through the unit and it might be overheating. Is it located where there is enough airflow? I have had no issues with my unit.

The one that I bought would not turn off and there was no direction in the packaging to tell me know. I inquired to the manufacturer and was told to hold the start stop button (I think that was it) and it would turn off. Did not work. Only way to turn it off is to remove the battery, Then was told to return it for replacement. This is a really junky product and I would not recommend it to anyone.

The unit stays on for half an hour and then shuts off, if you kept it on all night it would really drain the batteries, there is nothing in the instructions about it staying on all night. I hope this helps---Karin

Richard,I have the same problem with mine and the only way I was able to fix it is to remove the battery. Also make sure you format the SD card which I have done when the screen goes black and the unit turn off. Read more about the problem in this website. Lots of information regarding dash cam. http://dashcamtalk.com/I ended up buying a G1W and been very happy with it. It is cheaper than the DVR207.
