Thread: Enable features in your nuvi 12xx, 13xx and 14xx - JCV, LA, TTS

I'm using Nuvi 1450 5.40 from US (I think) and for the JCV, from CN Philippines NT 2011.30

Is there any way to use JCV function here? Thanks for the reply.

Philippine JCV need Phillipine firmware.
13xx / 14xx can be convert to Asian but you need 13xx/14xx hwid 972.
What is your hwid ?

006-B0972-00

How can I convert it? After converting, will it work? Thank you!

I cant seem to find the JCV file thats already on my nuvie 1300. I have 2012 north america maps and I have the JVC file that came with it. I tried to put it in my .system and says I need to make space. I'm trying to find the old one but cant find any JVC files. Please help. On a side note, you made this VERY easy and I thank you sooo much!

The nuvi 1300 does not have JCV directory,
You will need to make a new directory.
.System\JCV

You can also place the files in SD memory card, if the
files are to large to fit.

Make a directory in the SD card, \garmin\JCV

Use the larger junction view file 752MB
D3060030A.JCV

Here is the direct link to the download file on the Garmin website:

How do I know my Nuvi 1350 whether its MTK and Non-MTK GPS chips by checking the serial number label which on the bottom of Nuvi unit ?

@albert_chong
Go to para 4 in Post #1 for info how to enter Diagnostic Mode to view chipset type.

Hi Neil,
What I mean is, How do I know whether Nuvi 1350 is MTK or Non-MTK GPS chipset by checking the "Serial number" which on the Nuvi set bottom label ?
I know when enter Diagnostic mode, we can know the HWID, then we can know whether it is MTK or Non MTK.
I am going to buy Used Nuvi 1350 from ebay, I asked the ebay seller, he just give me the Serial number which on the Nuvi set bottom label,
so base on the Serial number, can we know whether it is MTK or Non-MTK,
I need Non-MTK Nuvi 1350.
Thanks

@albert-chong
No way i know of from just the S/No. Maybe contact Garmin for info? Pffft .. fat chance.. Other than asking the ebay seller to check the diagnostic menu for you which you may have already tried, i don't know. Maybe somebody else can help?

Edit: There is a way to find the UID from the S/No and vice versa. Go here:
