Hi
New user here. I've just bought a Garmin 56W to replace a Nextbase 312W.
I've got the Nextbase hard wire kit fitted, which has a Mini B plug.
The Garmin uses a Micro B plug
(I think these are right?)
Just been doing some reading and it appears that the Garmin uses a 17.3 k resistor between pins 4 and 5 in the power lead?
Anyone know if the Nextbase is similar, and if I can just use an adaptor to change the plug type?
I don't really want to reinstall the cable as it was a complete pain to do. Or buy another hardwire kit.
Any suggestions?
