Garmin Nuvi 200 Pin Locked

There are only two ways to unlock it again.

- know the pin lock code
- know the location the pin lock is set (save location).

The location where your son put the pin lock in is also the save location, u can only enter a lock code if the device has a
GPS fix, so if he entered the code at home, there should be no problem unlocking it.

there is no way to bypass it!

Was the 150 dollars just a figure you estimated yourself? If so, give Garmin a call and find out what they really say. Of the 200 series nuvi's, only the 200W is still shown as being covered by their flat rate repair/replace fee, which is only $69.00 US. But you never know for sure how far they'll be willing to please until you call.

I'd be very surprised if your son couldn't either remember the PIN code or where he was when he did it. I suspect if you rang Garmin they would want some proof it was yours.

As Mariomobiel said it will unlock where your son locked it once it has a fix, allowing you to either reset the PIN or deactivate the security lock.

But still, it's strange. To enter the code, u need to have a GPS fix, and enter the same code twice as a confirmation.........
