I'm not sure..But about all Auto parts stores does..It works as I have some of it all over my harley's electrical connections. O-reillys,Autozone,Napa ect carries it. Just coat it good.

I found the cable and ordered one... gonna wire it up switched so it powers off when the key is off.

I bought my Ram mount & the Garmin hardwire kit from GPS City.

Sorry, just saw your post. I just shopped with Google and found the best price... not too sure where I got it.

The CSx is a great GPS if you want to save a little you won't be disappointed. At the time I had some extra loot and traded up to the 62St. Not too much different and my CSx was literally like new. Looking back I should have kept it and the extra money I spent because the CSx does everything you need and then some.

Your call though. The 62 St is very nice. I usually want the best I can get even if I can't afford it!

Just finished hard wiring the GPS... you guys were right! I did wire it switched though, just to be safe. I never forget anything, within a few days, I'd remember to turn it off!

What wire did you wire it into? I am doing this in a couple days when the hardwire kit comes in. Thanks.

I used the one going to the cigarette lighter plug. Just used a line tap. Ran the ground to the battery.
