Plug and Socket for Garmin GPS - Follow Up

[TiggerToo]

I have got nowhere from Garmin (see previous thread) an none of the very helpful guys at the other places recommended by fomrumtes deal with the 7-pin sockets on the GPS 128/152.

But I have found these. I think they are the way to go. I'll have to learn a little "lecky"....

Thanks to everyone for the advice so far!

I've emailed this Dutch chap three weeks ago with the same question, for a friends' Garmin 128. Although the item is not listed on the site, he could provide a Pfranc plug (or make up a cable to order).
The order isn't yet placed, since my friend is still pondering replacing the unit.
As to the links on your mail : the first link I recognize as waterproof plugs for outdoor sound installations (rock bands etc.). They are excellent, and I use a few on the boat (electric winch etc.), but they are substantial and will not fit, IMHO.
The second link only mentions 3 and 8 pin plugs.

Well it seems that only two of us know about pFranc ...

Try this ..... http://www.pfranc.com/

They have been sorting out Garmin plugs for years ... even when Garmin wouldn't sell any of their strange connectors unless you mortgaged your checkbook for their cables.

Even if it's not listed on the site - e-mail / contact any of the guys ..... they have guys doing this all over the place ........ they will do their best for you ....

Nah, I think I will try a DIY jobbie. The 8 pin plug fo the mini series can be modified to 7 pins. I'll let you knwo the outcome when I am done
