I very recently started using the V180 and was surprised to find that the
same USB cable that is used on my GPS also works on the V180. So I went
searching for the appropriate driver & software. Here's what I did:


Downloaded the USB driver from here & installed:

I found the following forum information at:

Go to here for the software:

http://coma.fsb.hr/motorola/files/ [...] Retail.rar

This works for the V180 and allows transferring pictures, ring tones and
synchronization.

You'll probably need to insall the correct archiving utitlity for the above.
It can be found at:

This all worked fine for me and I'm running Windows XP Pro with SP2. Good
Luck.

let you know how it goes.
