Recently purchased a Garmin C330 Streetpilot & love it! Find its best for me to mount it high on the windshield next to the rearview mirror, and would like to find an ignition switched 12V souce to power it. My reasons are:
1. Get rid of dangling power cord.
2. Have another car with similar mirror set up which will "borrow" the unit
from time to time.
3. The accessory power plugs in the lower dash are always on, and would like
to eliminate switching the unit on and off. (The c330 is engineered for it.)
My idea is to open up the mirror, find a 12V ignition switched source, and install
a small power jack on the forward and unseen side of the mirror case.
Has anyone here done anything similar for a gps or radar detector? Thanks in
advance for your response.
