    I found this cheap USB cable to connect my V180 phone to my computer.
    The ad for the cable said I could download free software to sync it
    with my computer. After getting the cable I can't find the free
    software. I tried returning the cable, but I get no response from the
    company despite the fact that they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

    Anyway, I could just call the $17 a loss, but I thought I would give
    this group a shot. Is there some free way to use my cable? I just
    want to load names and phone numbers on it, and maybe a fun ringtone.

    I very recently started using the V180 and was surprised to find that the
    same USB cable that is used on my GPS also works on the V180. So I went
    searching for the appropriate driver & software. Here's what I did:


    Downloaded the USB driver from here & installed:

    I found the following forum information at:

    http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/141767

    Go to here for the software:

    This works for the V180 and allows transferring pictures, ring tones and
    synchronization.

    You'll probably need to insall the correct archiving utitlity for the above.
    It can be found at:

    This all worked fine for me and I'm running Windows XP Pro with SP2. Good
    Luck.

    This is good information. I used the cable from my digital camera for the
    V180 and then downloaded the DataPilot software. I had to pay for the
    download but saved on not having to buy the cable.
