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

The JCV files would be automatically downloaded too!

It is not so! It is depend of Logo in unit. Some of 1350T have full features and it is generally depended of market where it was sold...

Thanks for the inputs! By "Logo in unit", do you mean the 'Splash' being 'D1340-50' when JV is enabled instead of the 'D1340-00' when disabled? GE would be checking this 'D1340-50' inventory component ID when performing a LM update? Not checking the registered model (1350LMT) and/or serial number(s) of the unit? Again, thanks for any additional insight.

[Edit] Or is the logo.bin file found here:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

gets changed when this patch is used to enable JV? If so, is GE checking this logo.bin file when doing an LM update? Thanks again. [/Edit]

[Edit 2] I see that the logo.bin file has the 'D1340-50' inventory component ID written inside it. So GE checks this file when doing a LM update instead of using the registered model number or serial number? Thanks again! [/Edit 2]

By that logic I should be getting JCV files downloaded whenever I update my 1300. I can definitely tell you this is NOT the case. I have to download the large JCV Garmin has available, every time I update the map.

What version of logo do you mean in your 1300 case? What is map about?
