Subject to the Mods approval, it would be interesting to know if anyone else has this problem. I know that CAA_1005073406 has the same issue, namely:-

I updated my 2598lmt-d to 5.20 using garmin express, on update my digital traffic receiver cable in car would no longer work with a message on screen ' the connected power cable is not compatible with traffic' even though it worked fine before update.

I checked the power cable etc. and it still doesn't work.

I know my 2599 doesn't have this issue but I don't think that that is under the 5.20 version.

I'll check my 2597 tomorrow morning.

Edit: Checked 2597 on 5.20 and it's fine. Wonder what else could have got in the way?

My 2569 still shows the traffic power cable as OK after the update.

There are different firmware versions for different models it seems.

After checking my 2599 is on 8.20 but the 2597 is on 5.20

I wonder if the affected units are looking for a GTM style cable instead of a TA cable?

Those ending in 9 should be on 8.20, those in 7 and 8 on 5.20, although some later models ending in 8, and possibly 7, are also on 8.20.

I was coming on here to report the exact same problem. I updated my 2598 to version 5.20 and have now lost my traffic reception. Typically, on a day when there was chaos in my area!

I went back to 5.10 and traffic now works fine. I've raised a support ticket with Garmin and they have asked for Garmin Express Logs and GarminDevice.xml.

I also told them that it works after reverting to 5.10.

Maybe anyone else affected should do the same.

You need a copy of a previous gupdate.gcd which then needs to be placed in the .system folder of your nuvi. When you switch on you'll be warned you're reverting, accept yes.

Thank you. Anyway I thought I would try something before restoring back. I have just reset the user data on the device and Traffic is now working with version 5.20.

Hope this helps others.

That's interesting because I did a master reset before using mine and traffic didn't work.

Sorry. I should have made it clear that I have the 3598 model. When I first put 5.20 on I also had the message about the cable. Clearing User Data on the device has fixed the problem for me but I guess other models may be affected differently.

Apparently Garmin have agreed that it is a software issue with 5.20 and will issue an update to resolve it. What's strange is that it only seems to affect some users, and in some cases it's resolved after a master reset.

If you haven't updated I'd advise waiting until 5.30 or whatever.
