p&i Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I just got a GPS V a few weeks ago and love it. I also bought the Roads & Recreation which is a must in rural Nebraska. Where can I find a different power cord? The one that comes with it (cigarette lighter cord) is rediculously heavy and stiff besides being too long. Does anyone sell a thinner more flexable cord with only the one pair of wires for power? It doesn't need to have the lighter plug, I can install that myself. Quote Link to comment

+Mopar Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 If your on a budget, I would suggest contacting GPSgeek on ebay. While he doesn't currently have the cable your looking for on auction, he may have one for sale. Even if you don't want to do the auction thing, and just go with his "buy it now" price, he is more then reasonable. Lots of people here in the forums have used him for cables, and I have heard no complaints. My cig.plug power cable for my 76 (same plug as your V) was $10-11.00 plus a few bux shipping. Very well made using the pfranc connector Illegitimus non carborundum! Quote Link to comment
