Zumo cigarette adapter????

[blues n twos]

Hi all,

Pulling my hair out a bit here so I will bow to your wisdom

I am trying to source a power cable that will fit into the cradle the same as the permanant cable. ie round push plug with 4 contacts then held in place by two small screws. However I want this cable to be able to draw power from a cigarette type socket.

The reason is I want to be able to remove the cradle quickly leaving just the ram ball that will be fixed to a brake fluid resivior. I don't want to be hard wiring the cradle into the bike.

Garmin tell me they don't do such a product I find this hard to believe as they do a 12v car adapter but it shows a different type of fitting

Any help / advice much appreciated.

Jon

Might be helpfull if you tell us how you want to power the zumo on the bike

Assuming you want to plug it into the BM DIN socket, and then use it in the car, why not buy one of these:

Or something like it?

I am having a 12v cigarette adapter fitted to the bike as a power source. This is a factory fit option on a Tmax and is situated in the lhs glove box.

I just want to be able to clamp the Garmin holder on to the ram ball mount and plug it in and go. Likewise I don't want to leave the Garmin mount on the bike so want to unscrew the Ram arm, unplug from power source and put the lot in my bag.
