United Kingdom 2004 Defender 110 Td5 CSW Zambezi Silver
Garmin Power lead
I have a Nuvi and want tontry to tidy up the power lead so it doesnt hang all over the dash.

Does anyone make a proper lead that has bare ends to patch inTo a 12v feed ?

If not i guess an option is to fit a 2nd ciggy lighter tucked away somewhere and use that

All ideas welcome !,,,!

Maybe not quite the answer, but LR/Garmin made a custom. Lunt for the SVX's so maybe an owner / dealer could help with how it's mounted and maybe source the part for you...

Look here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/edosupply?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
Make sure it's fused in-line. (I used 1A)

They are where I got mine hard wired and just comes up behind dash.

No need for more sockets or trailing cables

^^^

Edotech also do a USB cable for charging a Garmin (in case you ever fit one of those neat dual USB outlets). Not a simple USB cable doesn't work, as it will convince your Garmin that the Defender is a source of map updates Sad That's not a dent, it's a rivet. That's not a dent, it's a rivet. That's not ... oh! That is a dent!

I know what you mean on that one.

The one with the 90 degree plug on I have for a Nuvi 1300 that has worked perfectly for a long while now.

The plug in the socket as standard is a Censored in the way of 5th gear and dangerous too as you can catch your hand on the cable especially when going to indicate.

They are cheap too, and IIRC delivered from the US and tax exempt due to low value.

Mind, the Land Rover installation kit will provide an older type wiring, the one for the Nüvi 7xx series which today does not exist anymore. More recent Garmin series will most likely not accept that type of wiring anymore.
There is a seller on ebay who offers all or part of that type of Garmin wiring for the Defender. See below.
