I have a problem with a GPS Mio 520.

The GPS had a power cable that connects it to the lighter for power input using the GPS mini USB port and it was working.

I lost that power cable and bought another one.

Now when I connect the GPS to the lighter in the car the GPS thinks it's connected to a computer and the GPS stops working, it stuck in a computer mode screen which prevents me from using the GPS.

Is there a way to change something in the cable so the GPS won't go into computer mode when connecting it to the lighter in the car?

Thank you.
 
I have a Asus P750 and I have the option to select what connection type I want when it connects to a USB. Maybe if you look you could find the option to turn of computer mode when connected to USB.
