Garmin 250w crap car charger?

Nephew · 2008-01-18 22:47:19

I plugged my 250w into my cars cigarette charger socket today and the charger wouldn't sit securely in the slot, it kept popping out. A few times I got it to charge for 10 seconds but then it popped out of place. Is there any solution to this, I've never had any problems with my phone or old tomtom charger staying in…

The strange thing is I have used the charger in two other cars without any hassle but it just wont stay put in my car.

Same problem here--Just get a pliers and "gently" bend in the 2 metal plates on the charger so theyre a bit flatter.

Worked for me anyway.
