Comes without instructions, but is pretty simple to figure out. Cigarette lighter socket sends power through USB port, allowing use of GPS with full use of backlight with no worries about killing off the batteries. Does not charge batteries while using. Essential when using for auto navigation.

Comment:
We have a 2500 HD pickup truck which has a little less than smooth ride. We mounted the Colorado on the dash, using the included adhesive disk. It continues to work very well, holding the Colorado upright on the dash.
We did learn that with regular Alkaline batteries the device would not work properly using the supplied power cord. A call to Garmin after the device locked up and started "do things a Colorado 400t should not do" with the screen identifing that it was hooked up via the usb cable to the computer. It was not. It was merely hooked up to the power supply cord. Garmin had us return this particular unit. When we got the new one, we took the batteries out, hooked up the power supply cord, and it has been working flawlessly.
The unit is very easily snapped into, and back out of the ball joint coupler. That feature works very well.

Comment:
Just received the Garmin Colorado Auto Nav Kit today and it is better than I hoped for.
Very simple mount to windshield or the dashboard if required or preferred.
It is extremely secure, unlike some adjustable,multi-purpose mounts.
When using rechargeable batteries and plugged into power adapter, the screen is very bright and legible. I would say brighter than most Auto GPS devices I have seen.
Very,Very Pleased.

Comment:
This kit works really well.
You can mount your Colorado using the suction cup mount on your vehicle windshield or using the adhesive disk. ( the disk is good for states that do not allow windshield mounts )
The mount is sturdy and my Colorado fits in it easily and holds in well.
It is great to be able to conveniently and safely use my unit in the car while driving.
The Colorado is a great companion in the car and the screen looks gorgeous and bright. When running the Colorado on the lighter adapter the backlight on the screen runs in a much brighter mode than batteries permit and the screen is very bright and the map shading and detail are beautiful.

Comment:
I was worried how this would work in the car. But it works perfectly. And you don't even have to stick anything permanent on the dash, or wherever.
The main holder uses a strong suction cup for attaching directly to the window glass if you want. This is what I do, so it's easy to move between cars without having to buy 2 of them.
The Colorado slips right on (I don't even push it hard enough to 'click') and is a snap to just grab-n-go. I usually don't even bother with the power-adapter since I use rechargeable batteries in the Colorado.
