Garmin External Speaker with 12-Volt Adapter for StreetPilot ( 010-10477-01)

Garmin External Speaker with 12-Volt Adapter for StreetPilot ( 010-10477-01)

Garmin StreetPilot Power/Speaker Adapter

The product works fine and the delivery time was excellent. The price was still a little high, but much better than you could purchase it from Garmin. I love my Garmin GPS, but I find that this integral part of the system is prone to failure and repeated replacement. Because of poor engineering design or whatever, Garmin should stand behind their product better and either design a better adapter, or at least discount the existing design to GPS owners.

Save Your Money!

Rather than shell out $30 to $40 for another flimsy replacement, one can just go to Radio shack and buy a "Y" cigarette lighter accessory (allowing 2 accessories to plug into one socket). This assumes you can salvage the pieces from your broken plug-in. Simply reassemble the broken pieces (make sure the fuse is there), and slide all into one of the sockets on the "Y", then tape the Garmin plug and "Y" socket together to make sure it remains secure. You now have the new "Y" to plug in and out of the cigarette lighter and an extra socket on the "Y" for your celphone!!

Just as good as the original.

The one that came with my GPS broke, and this one works as good as that one. No difference.

Excellent Quality, Great Seller

Second time my dog chewed this up and the same company provided a replacement quickly at a good price. The adapter is perfect, works great, excellent quality.

StreetPilot Adapter

Our StreetPilot stopped working for unknown reasons. Rather than send it to Garmin to look at, I thought it would be easier, quicker, and cheaper to first try a new adapter cord. This one one delivered quickly and did the trick. Our GPSr is now working great.
