Shorter 12V adapter for GPS
#11
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 exactly what you are talking about, I have the same Garmin GPS and the 12v adapter has "traffic" something or other in it and is long as hell.
This should help you out!

I have a 760, and use the Garmin power adapter without the traffic receiver. It works fine. Clears the tank. I leave it in all the time. I got a memory card and loaded up a bunch of mp3s on it. Plug the audio out into the aux in on the bike, and I hear music and GPS prompts. Don't have XM on my bike, so I like this better than listening to the radio when we're on the road.
