Recently bought one. Very difficult (for my wife) to get this in and out of car (to tennis court and again inside home for charging) any solutions?

It is heavy for a woman to pick up and set down. A strap around the ball machine and folded handle, lengthwise so she can grab it with two hands, makes holding onto it easier. Otherwise it is awkward to get a hold of. See if that helps.

I agree. It is bulky and cumbersome. Much easier for a sport utility vehicle with a rear opening. My wife has same problem. Unfortunately I don't know a good solution. Otherwise we love our machine.

Truce, it's a little tough to get in and out of your car after the handle is installed. However, this is an excellent machine for my son to practice. We have tried a few. So, far, this is the best.

Try a very strong magnet moved around the bottom of the handle... since it is an induction charging system, sometimes they just need a boost to get them started. Mine stopped charging and I took a strong rare earth magnet, rubbed around the bottom and sides of the handle for a min or two and put in charger. Has been charging just fine ever since.

It is a pain to get open but like they said if u cant get in neither can any thing else, and it might be possible if u were to open the charging port and close in a tiny string of some sort but there are no other places to put a cord unless u close a small cord or piece of string into the case but I dont kno if it would shut then.

I left my Kindle with my wife for 60 seconds while I moved the car, and she managed to get this screen up.. How did she manage do to it? The hard restart that Mustafa speaks of worked just fine.. I just want to know how she managed to get the screen up and make it stay up.

I have never had an issue - just plug it in and charge. The only thing I can think is under the seat where the connectors are maybe they aren't connected right? Sorry I can't be of more help.

I'm sorry but this has nothing to do with the case. Check the Bluetooth hardware in your car, or contact apple for help.

That's pretty wild! The vehicle charger that came with the unit had some type of special reciever module in the middle of the cord used to update traffic. So you don't want to use any ol regular charger. Your best bet is to send back the entire package for a proper replacement. You might be able to order one directly from Garmin, but they'll probably charge you for it because it's not a warranty issue.

I just got mine (Nov 2014) and tried to leave the battery out (to possibly save the battery from being overcharged) - i was disappointed there is an annoying buzz once the music kicks in - it's like the charging circuit wasn't meant to operate without a battery in place :(

Mine doesn't work with the car charger either. I assumed the battery was dead. How inconvienent if one has to charge it in the house if one travels a lot. Also It only lasts for a month and I don't use it much. Also it shuts off after ten minutes out of the car which is inconvienent because there is no way to tell if it is on when you get back in.Very good sound however and otherwise I like it.

I had the same result. I was at least able to get my data off my phone though. It still will not charge however. I've tried more than once so I don't believe it is an issue with the connection not being snug.

I had a hard time the first time too, but you just have to hold the power button for a few seconds. I've had success wall charging with a universal phone charger as well as with the usb included with the speaker (charged on a computer). Also, as an FYI.. don't pull out the other connection (the one that connects to the music source) to far as I did and cannot get it to go back into the speaker.

Apparently not well or I couldn't figure out how to make it connect properly. I finally sent mine back, don't know if mine was defective or if it was "operator error", it didn't charge or play through the speakers. I see that the others thought it worked well, didn't think of the case being a problem...but my case is a smaller one, so who knows.

I also had an issue with my IPod Touch 4g, with an Otter Box Cover on. If you don't want to keep removing the cover, use a dock extender...it works perfectly and charges my iPod as well.

I have this problem too... I get into my car, put my seatbelt on, turn on the car, plug my phone into the iTrip (which is already plugged into my cig lighter). I push play on my phone and it will play for 30 sec and then turn off. I have to unplug the lightning cord of the iTrip from my phone and replug it and it works for as long as I am n the car... Annoying as heck.
