I have been using this adapter for about three weeks and it is still fully functional. It fits with my splitter and charges my Garmin unit perfectly. The charger is clearly cheaply constructed, hence the sub-$5 price tag. I’m not sure how one can shell out a whopping $3 for a replacement like this, then come up shocked when it isn’t perfect. Anyway, mine works fine, but in time I expect the actual outer “shell” of the charger to fall apart, it just seems poorly constructed. For what it’s worth, the Garmin-brand charger that came with my GPS unit showed signs of wear fairly quickly as well.

I’ve used it twice. So far, so good. Did not read the other reviews until after my purchase. Probably would not have purchased it had I read the other reviews.

Does indeed work with my garmin 350 to put it into charge and not sync mode. Beware though that if you use your GPS as a MP3 player, this makes my garmin make weird noises when plugged into my cars speakers. Two previous car chargers have not and do not make it make those noises. Makes me wonder if the charger may be damaging the device. Great price though. For now it gets 3 stars for its utility for most GPS users and price, but if it kills my GPS, I’ll be downgrading it to one star.

I purchased this item and while it worked for about 1.5 months after that it developed a short in the cord and would constantly keep trying to turn the gps off. It finally quit working this weekend after 2 and a half months of use. Unfortunately my return period has expired. This is a total waste of money and I do not recommend the product.

Worst thing I’ve ever got on Amazon.com. It stopped working after 2 weeks when I needed the most. I was out of town on business trip. I need my money back.
