    No, definitely not. Different hardware entirely. Nuvi 27x7 will convert to dezl 760 though.

    Can I convert Nuvi 265W to nuvi 465 Truckies Nav?
    Yes, but some precautions apply. Only 2x5W with HWID 0827. The PCB P/N is the same for 2x5W and 465 and the non-MTK 827 chip is the same. Do some research before you attempt such conversion, sorry but OT here so I cannot help in detail in this thread. I have US 255W & 265W converted to 465 and work perfectly, just no BT in 255W convert.

    Last year i've convert 2460 to dezl with your guide. My friend has use webupdater and reset all my work so now it's return to 2460 and work. I've try to reconvert it to dezl but i can't do it. I've download new firmware (2460 and dezl.....many links are dead). Clear NV and reflash with my file *.rgn (link of your 127....*.rgn file is dead) but nuvi is always 2460. Clear again NV and reflash but nothing. I've use 2460..360.gcd and dezl...370.gcd. Are new firmware not compatible with this conversion? Thanks

    Did you remember to remove the file GUPDATE.CGD from .System folder of the unit? It would have been placed there when the fw was updated by WebUpdater. If it's left on the unit it would re-flash the full nuvi 2460 fw after you had loaded the 'hybrid' fw of nuvi 2460 boot.bin and dezl 560 fw_all.bin using Updater.exe in preboot. Because the unit's HWID remains as 1273 [from nuvi 2460] when using the hybrid fw it's still identified by Garmin helper programs as a 2460 and the corresponding full fw is added to the unit. This results in that re-flash on reboot.

    In case you've made some error with the hybrid fw, i'll remake it with current 2460 3.60 boot and 3.70 560 fw_all and add it to Post #1.

    Thanks. I've solve with your zip file on 1^ post. I don't know why but when i create my rgn file for updater, it's very small, about 600Kb. Your file is big. Thanks for new uploading. ciao

    You need to tick all sections on left side in Rgn_tool.exe
    I think you only ticked boot.bin !

    Hi!

    My brother bought a Garmin 2595LM.
    Can I convert Nuvi 2595LM to Dezl 560 Truckies Nav?

    But, after read, i think that it's not possible.
    It's possible to confirm ?
    Thank you
    Emmanuel

    No it won't work using the methods described here as you've read. They are dissimilar hardware. There are only 3 Garmin car to truckie's navigator conversions possible that i know of:

    nuvi 2x5W > nuvi 465 [HWID 0827 only]
    nuvi 2460 > dezl 560
    nuvi 2797/8 > dezl 760/RV 760

    The key is matching PCB P/N of the units. If they don't match then simple firmware flash won't work and if you force a flash the unit may brick. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

    I want to convert 2797 HWID 1517 to DEZL 760, is it the same procedure?

    Some of the links in your thread was dead but I downloaded:


    Code:
    Please Login or Register to see the links
    Then save the boot.bin of nuvi27x7and27x8_GCDFile__450.gcd
    Load dezl760_GCDfile__470.gcd and load the boot.bin
    Override HWID to 1517 and save it as dezl760_470.rgn

    Then do:

    Code:
    Please Login or Register to see the links
    Just want to be sure so I don't end up with a bricked device.
    Also, will I still receive free lifetime map updates after converting it?

    @gpssat
    Yes the procedure is exactly the same, just substituting the relevant firmware boot and fw_all bin components from nuvi 2797 and dezl 760 as you've described above which is the safest method of course. It would be even safer to save the RGN file as 151701000470.rgn before flashing with Updater.exe. Complete conversion should also be possible to dezl HWID 1516 however that's intrinsically less safe, and be aware i don't have a 2797 available so i'm unable to test either method beforehand. BTW, none of the internal links in post #1 for backup nonvol, RGN_Tool or Updater.exe are 'dead'. Also they can be found via our Indices in any case as can the links for all current firmwares be found in the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

    Please keep in mind that although this should be without problem, any risk is by necessity taken solely by you. Please report back the results if you proceed with the conversion. I'd be particularly interested if the BC20 backup camera works if you intend using one. It may be locked out from 2797 by either firmware or differing pinouts, or it just may be that Garmin wants ppl to think that it doesn't work with 2797.

    Because the Lifetime Maps subscription is tied to the Unit's ID number which doesn't change, you will continue to receive them and the ancillary files as usual even if the unit's HWID were to change on full conversion. Just in case you missed the notes at the base of Method 1 in the initial post, be aware that if you update software by GE or WU then it will download any new unit firmware for the current HWID so if that's the nuvi's 1517 the unit will be reconverted back to a 2797.
