Here is a tutorial to show you how to install Garmin Mobile XT (for Symbian S60 3rd Edition software version 5.00.30) to your Nokia 5800 Xpress Music phone.

Here are some things that you need to have ready before starting this tutorial.

1. Garmin Files
   • 3rd Ed. Software ver5.00.30 (touch screen)
   • Base Map
   • Support Files (language/voice)
2. Maps of Malaysia / Singapore
   • MalFreeMaps.com [ Maps | POI]
3. 3rd Party File
   • Key Generator for Garmin (search garmin_kgen.exe)

Warning: Please kindly backup your phone first before installing this, as a precaution. We are not responsible for any damages done to your phone by following our instructions, as this is just a step-by step guide. So far many phones have been installed successfully with these instructions.

Note: Always connect mobile phone to PC via USB cable. Select Mass Storage mode as the connection mode, and NOT PC Suite.

STEP 1
a. Connect phone to PC. Locate GarminMobileXTforSymbianS603rdEdition_50030.exe & click to install from PC. A window will pop up. Click on Setup so that the files can begin to be extracted out.

b. Once extraction done, Garmin Mobile XT Setup screen will appear. Select (Removable Drive) E:\ and then click Install to proceed.

* If Removable Drive cannot be seen, most probably the connection mode is not Mass Storage Mode. Kindly check the phone settings.

c. Do the same steps for the Base Map & Support File.
Click to install Base Map from PC – GarminMobileXTFreeBasemap_4xxxx.exe
Click to install Support File from PC – GarminMobileXTSupportFiles_4xxxx.exe

STEP 2
a. Once all 3 Garmin files are installed, remove USB cable between PC & phone. Do NOT launch Garmin mobile if prompted when the cable is still attached.

b. Browse Phone File Manager (or Y-Browser). Run the GarminMobileXT.sis to install . Click OK to install. It will take you through several steps; select Language, Voice etc. Launch Garmin Mobile XT (search icon, from the mobile, should be under Applications).

c. Once installation is done, go inside Garmin -> Tools -> Settings -> About. Copy down the Card ID.

STEP 3
a. Now open the Garmin Keygen file. Copy & paste the Card ID and click the Generate (top button) to get the Device Unlock Code.

Card ID is unique to your SD card, and cannot be shared to other phones.

Copy the Device Unlock Code & paste into a Notepad.

b. Save the file as sw.unl. Change the file type to All Files (*.*), and not as text file. Now connect back the cable to the phone & PC, using Mass Storage.

Place this sw.unl file in the Garmin root folder of the phone, usually it is in E drive.

Close Garmin Keygen dialog box.

STEP 4
Install MalFreeMaps to your device. Click here to view the steps in a separate post.

STEP 5
a. Launch the Garmin from the phone. You will now be able to log in successfully. When you see Garmin trying to search for Bluetooth GPS, click Cancel. Now go to Tools -> Settings -> System -> RemoteGPS -> Use Attached/Built In GPS.

DONE. COMPLETED. CONGRATS!!
