Shorter 12V adapter for GPS
I have a Garmin Nuvi 760 which I place in a Ram handlebar mount, that works great. The problem is the 12V adapter is so long, that when placed in the cigarette lighter, it presses up against the tank potentially scratching the tank or crushing the adapter. Been looking for a shorter one, but can't pin it down. Wondering if anyone knows the what I should get, and where I should get it. Also, is it possible to get GPS unit to interrupt radio while playing music? Right now I just have earphone from the unit to my helmet with radio playing in background, I can connect it to my radio but then it plays on AUX with no music. I'm riding a 2010 Ultra Limited. Thanks.

I know I have an 12V accessory outlet in the Tourpak, but I didn't know I had one under the seat. I guess I should look at the owners manual. Is that an add-on, or stock? Forgive the ignorance.

Also, most people connect thier accessories within the fairing.

Cut and splice. A little solder and shrink wrap.

I installed this in my tour-pak. Ran wires from aux and gps to it. Installed Sirius in tour-pak and also connected to this device. Now I can listen to Sirius and gps will momentarily interrupt. Neat.

You can also go to a local Pep Boys, Advance Auto or some such auto parts store and buy a small 3", 12 adapter/splitter....and plug your GPS into that, as a quick-fix.

How about cutting the cigarette light plug adapter off the power cable, run it into the fairing and connect it to the power that supplies the cigarette lighter. That's how I have my Garmin StreetPilot 2610 wired.
