Quest power cable

peejay · Nov 3, 2007

Just a Q before I part with £35 for a TT power cable, does anyone know if I can convert the car mount cable by removing the speaker and cigar lighter plug in and replacing with a BMW plug?
If so anything I should be aware of? like keeping any of the original fitting etc.
Any advice would be of help. :nenau

The Speaker housing contains a 5 volt power regulator. Snip the cable and connect it to a 12 volt supply.....say goodbye to what was a working Quest. :blast

Thanks,
Glad I asked here first! Guess I'll have to get the cheque book out again

why dont you try one of these. They come with the BMW plug (Fixed or Bendable type) with the choice of 2.5mm or 3.5mm audio jack socket

or the normal connect to battery type

Thanks, but these are not compatible with a TT mount.

Quest connections

I used a disected car kit (with the cables wired straight onto the battery) on my 1100 for about 2 years without any problems, I even used the car cradle and the unit never fell out (even with light off-roading!)

I don't really see the point in anything else

Thanks for the link, looks doable, What about the resistor? :confused:

I have bought a TT mount which has a clip for the power cable to be attached, but I need a special small 'star' screwdriver to remove the retaining screw

then it should fit.
