Original question asked on Jun 1, 2012, 7:58am

What power cable is recommended to hardwire this into a motorcycle? I am planning on ordering the Nuvi 550 Automoto bundle. DO I need the RAM Mount and the Garmin mounting cradle PN 010-11143-07, or is that the same as the RAM mount, but just happens to include a power cable?

Thanks again!

The power cable recommended for a hardwire connection is either Garmin part number 010-11131-00 or 010-11131-10.

For a cleaner installation without the serial/data connections use the 010-11131-10 cable.

Other cables and accessories can be found under the "Accessories" tab under the GPS.

I see that the 010-11131-01 cable is sold out. Is that the same cable included with 010-11143-07? And is the universal mount in that kit the same as the RAM mount, or do I need both?

Thanks

Yes the 010-11131-10 is currently sold out but we expect to have stock in the next couple of days.
The cable used in the 010-11143-07 package is a different cable with a larger power converter and a different style of fuse.
The universal mount uses the same cradle with an amps plate connection and no other hardware for mounting.
The automoto bundle comes with the complete mounting hardware for a motorcycle and suction cup for use in an automobile.
