that is a matter for great debate it could seem. Do you have any reason why you wouldn't want to hard wire the power cord rather than being stuck using the 12v outlet?

yap. i rather used the orig wire from garmin, since it also works as an antenna for traffic update..

Any picture around? how you place your GPS on the dash?

I know you are new, so thought I would post some links.
Others will tell you to use the Search button up top...which you can do :tongue:

You can also search for 12v outlet and probably find the links where others
have mounted a hidden 12v power outlet to plug in their GPS or mp3 players
for a cleaner and stealth look. Perhaps that would meet your requirement for
using the stock power cord and be hidden?

Check out the links I posted in a response below:

Let us know what you come up with, especially if it is different than these. :headbang:
