This is standard Garmin poor engineering. Almost all automotive devices do this. At least, all of mine have.

No that doesn't change anything. The problem persist

What cable are you using, is it:
1. The Garmin vehicle power adapter that was supplied with the unit?
2. a USB only cable (e.g. USB C to USB mini)?
3. Something else, if so what?

i use the first response: The Garmin vehicle power adapter that was supplied with the unit

Thanks for confirming, that is the correct cable. And was the other one you tried the same?

Understanding your environment will help because we all live in different climates from snow to tropics and hot and cold could mean different things.
What is approximately the temperature outside when it is hot and the device doesn't work?
And what is the temperature at night when it works?

the temperature outside when the device doesn't work is approximately 30° CELUS.
the temperature at night when it works 19° C.
