[Kenwood] RE: [GPS] Kenwood D700a and Garmin GPS question

Here are a couple of off-the-shelf solutions:

They also offer a Garmin compatible plug, if you want to wire your own:

Hope that helps, and 73

Subject: [GPS] Kenwood D700a and Garmin GPS question


I have both the D700A and a Garmin GPS3 in my vehicle.
I have the outside antenna for the Garmin.
I power the Garmin from a cig adapter that has the little round rubber
fitting that fits
on the pins of the jack on the back of the Garmin.

Here is where my problem arises.
I obviously need to connect the Garmin to the D700A.
But unless I'm way off base, I need to use the same jack that the power
uses.
So how have any of you overcome this obstacle.


What I need is some sort of 'pass-through that would plug into the G3 with a
cable to the
D700 and then the power cord would piggyback on that.

Is there such a critter, or what is a non-destructive modification that is
available.
