Garmin 2610 power source

... and no its not some liquid you drink to help navigate in the dark!

Wonder if anyone can help. Have just bought a 2610 off the site from "Shurv" (bloody nice chap) and have the standard power lead to connect to the battery. I was hoping to power the thing from a socket I've had installed (a la GSA) on the fairing and run it through the Autocom. Does anyone know if such a cable exists or is it a case of hard wiring it direct to the battery?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Autocom sell leads to connect the Autocom and GPS.

The standard power lead has bare ends, I just soldered this on to a curly lead with a cig lighter plug on the end, courtesy of local motorist discount shop, plug it into cig lighter socket fitted to handlebars, job done.

Thanks guys, I shall certainly look into these.

Regards the last suggestion, was there not a prob with the inline fuse being exposed to the elements?

But at least its doable, Cheers.

I don't see it as a problem, the fuse is encased within the lighter plug, so should be resistant to most downpours. There is also another fuse under the seat, in the line from the socket to the battery.
