Thread: 2xxx and 3xxx series enable features application

Check everything except ecoRoute HD & Purchase definitely as said above. You can also un-check Custom Main Menu but it doesn't matter. You must check Mp3 & Video Player boxes for those to work as you've stated you want.

Thanks for clearing that up. I never used the tool before so I wanted to make sure I understood what I doing because I didn't want to have trouble. The first time I tried I just unchecked the the ecoRoute HD, and ecoRoute Purchase. Then it hit me that I needed to check the ones I needed. Once I did that it was SUCCESSFUL The tunes are back! Also the media player app is sweet a lot better than the old one in the 350. All I need now is to mod the Dock for an audio out jack and I will be in business.

Big thanks to NEIL, catymag, 3490LMT, and lolypop000 I really appreciate the help...

@RacerXX
When you mod the dock for an audio Jack could you please post pictures and instructions here.
I'm very interested in this modification.

I second that proposal. It's disappointing that these units don't have the capability for FM transmission of the audio to the vehicle's entertainment unit as did earlier 6x0/7xx .....

Maybe it would be better to continue this discussion over in this thread?: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Quite OT here. There's already been a bit of discussion over there about the mount which dasilvarsa was involved in too. It seems a far better and less invasive option to add a surface socket to the mount rather than glue something to the 3xxx itself as the OP there did. Single channel out is a bit of a pain if that's correct though.

I bought a refurb Nuvi 3490LMT (US maps). Updated maps right out of the box via Garmin Express. It also updated software to v8.20. Loaded empty enable/diable.xml files + UpdateDeviceConfig.xml. After restart only UpdateDeviceConfig.xml was gone and there were no media and video player buttons on the apps page. From my experience with another 3490 unit I know that trick worked with software v6.20. So I decided to revert to an older software version. The oldest I could find was 6.30 (from here

). Now I have my players. So beware of software version 8.20 (and possibly other versions 7 and 8) because of the players issue. It seems like Garmin is becoming more and more like Apple (e.g., adding .gma on top of .unl). I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we'll have to jailbreak Garmin devices.
One other issue with update to v8.20. GTM traffic did not update to 3.1 and remained at 2.1. Traffic receiver quite frequently and at length entered into "receiving traffic updates".

I moved your post from the 'Convert 3790/3760/3750' thread to here.

That old method of editing the xml file doesn't work with later fw as you found. You now need to mod the unit's region 140 as per the initial post in this thread if you want to use latest firmware [highly recommended].

We code outside links to prevent refbacks. The perry site isn't a concern really, but there are some which we really don't want to invite for that. You won't need to look much further for an example of when coding is very important. It's best to be consistent and simply code all such outside links, good habit to develop.

WebUpdater or GarminExpress should have offered you that software update when your 3490 was connected ['update for type 3 traffic receiver']. However, here it is:

Code:

Drag the gcd file onto the WebUpdater icon with your nuvi connected, it will load it to the unit and the traffic receiver should be automatically updated when you connect it to the unit later.
