An in-vehicle power cable with a traffic antenna is not included. The TA10 and TA20 are 12V vehicle power cables/car chargers that contain traffic antennae and which plug into the car's cigarette lighter and the GPS unit's mini USB port. Alternatively, there is a special USB to mini USB power cable that contains a traffic antenna. Such a combined power and traffic antenna cable is needed to 1) recharge the GPS unit while driving and 2) feed raw FM traffic data into the GPS unit's internal traffic receiver. This YouTube video explains the TA10, TA20, and the special USB to mini USB power cables that each contain a traffic antenna:

The mini USB port inside the GPS seems to be loose, so the GPS unit loses the connection and power when the vehicle power cable is plugged in. I believe the mini USB port in the GPS unit needs to be re-soldered to the internal motherboard. There are YouTube videos showing how to do this for similar Garmin nüvi GPS units:

The GPS unit still connects well to the USB to mini USB data cable, so it can be recharged using that cable and the software and maps can be updated using that cable, as long as the GPS unit and cable are not moved around.
The suction cup that is supposed to attach the GPS unit to the windshield doesn't work very well (it doesn't have good suction any more).
