I have a problem with a GPS Mio 520.

The GPS had a power cable that connects it to the lighter for power input using the GPS mini USB port and it was working.

I lost that power cable and bought another one.

Now when I connect the GPS to the lighter in the car the GPS thinks it's connected to a computer and the GPS stops working, it stuck in a computer mode screen which prevents me from using the GPS.

Is there a way to change something in the cable so the GPS won't go into computer mode when connecting it to the lighter in the car?

Thank you.

There is no easy way to modify usb cable. I recommend to buy a new one or contact your seller and report the problem.

I have a Asus P750 and I have the option to select what connection type I want when it connects to a USB. Maybe if you look you could find the option to turn of computer mode when connected to USB.
