Product Reviews

Sometimes OEM is just better.

I use my Garmin on our motorcycles and need to hard wire into the system because a cigarette lighter type connection always vibrates loose. I bought several aftermarket adapters, which have always worked fine, but eventually vibrated loose internally and then they break the internal wiring and quit working. This OEM device from Garmin looks very durable and I expect it to last much better. The voltage converter part of the cord is very small and looks to be more of a solid state device without the small circuit board that comes loose in the aftermarket adapters. I am delighted with this, and expect it to be much less expensive in the long run.

Garmin now works with my accessory power and no more dangling cords!

I hate wires hanging down. Especially from my dash to my power port. Not to mention that plugging and unplugging my GPS is annoying. So I followed some suggestions from a forum and found this product. It is a Garmin product so I felt that it would be the best choice for wiring into my 2003 Suburban. I did read some posts elsewhere that discussed using a cheaper alternative but many people noted that they were not as reliable. I can’t say for sure on that but if it is a matter of $10 I’d rather spend the money and have it work.This is pretty much a slam dunk for installation if you have experience working with auto electronics and/or wiring. I crimped some connectors on to the wires and ran the cord behind the dash front plate. Super quick and easy. I used the accessory wire from the ignition so my unit comes on when I start the vehicle and shuts off with the engine. Makes it much more useful without having to plug and unplug constantly. Plus if I need to take it with me in someone else’s car I still have the factory cable.Downside? None. It is about as simple a solution as you can get. Works perfectly every time. Thank you, Garmin for making this. Next best thing to a built in Sat Nav.

No Radio Frequency Interference while Powering Dash Cam

This Garmin 8-58V to 5V 500mA USB power cable does not cause any Radio Frequency Interference. Many reviews of other direct wire power adapters complain of RFI. The short length of cable on the 5V load side and the shielded wire on the 12V supply side probably help reduce RFI.The molded box is small enough and flat enough to fit under the trim at the top of your windshield. The overall length of cable is JUST enough to run around the windshield of a Scion TC (same windshield as a Pontiac Sunfire.) You can see in the pictures how much slack I had left in the cable where I attach to a switch. It is long enough to reach my fuse box if you decide not to have a switch.I am using this to power a Rexing dash cam. Check your dash cam spec sheet to see if 500mA is enough. I actually couldn’t find the power spec for my dash cam. But it does work.EDIT - I measured the power draw of my Rexing dash cam. It stays just under 500mA most of the time and sometimes briefly peaks at 503-504mA. I am sure this Garmin power supply can supply slightly more than what it is rated at. Also, turning the display off on the Rexing significantly lowers the power draw.

Perfect for wiring your GPS in a car.

This cable along with an “add a circuit” is perfect for wiring in a Garmin GPS. It free’s up the 12v plug in your dashboard and gets rid of another object getting tangled up in the car.My 12v plug is directly by my shifter (manual trans), and I kept catching the cord to my GPS with a finger. It was a little bit annoying. Upon some research, I purchased this cord, an “Arkon” mount for the GPS, and an “add a circuit.” I was able to remove some of the dashboard panels in my car and run this wire behind the dashboard, it only too about an hour. I also attached the arkon mount to an interior panel. The wire is hidden in a drawer when not in use and can be pulled out when I need it. For a cleanly mounted GPS, this is the way to go!Personally, I prefer having my GPS separate from my radio. I have a 2010 VW CC. The radio is just the touch screen radio, no NAV. My dad has a 2012 Golf that has the NAV in the radio. It is nice having the two separately designated devices, plus I can take my GPS other places. With a little bit of thinking, you can cleanly mount your GPS using this cable!

I love that I have hard wired my Garmin but I keep getting a pop up message on the gps stating my cable is not compatible with my power connection. I have reprogrammed my gps but still happens so just an FYI is all.

Well made but too short

This is a well made cable and the Dash Cam functions properly with this cable but I had to give it three stars because it’s too short for installation in a full size pickup. I had to splice in about 2 feet of wire to reach the fuse box. I researched the Garmin site for an exact length on this cable but didn’t find it on their site. After reading Amazon reviews I thought the cable might be too short but the fact that the filter is close to the device was a selling point for me so I ordered this cable. Since it’s well constructed I would probably order it again and deal with the splicing issue if the need for another cable arose.

Cable is 3 feet too short therefore not an easy install

The products only purpose is to replace the use of the DC power plug. Based on the reviews suggesting this product does not provide adequate length of cable to reach a power and ground source I also find this true. Mine is about 2 feet short of the power box. Seems Garmin tried to save a couple bucks versus extending the cable 3 feet so one could just cut off the excess. Another complaint is how thick (insulated) the “hidden” cable is since there are only 2 smaller wires inside. Highly don’t recommend this product for someone looking to easily have hidden cables in your truck

Gets the job done.

Get’s the job done but won’t take any abuse at all, on the fragile side. I am on my third one in three years. I use them on my motorcycle. I ride on the street not off road. They last about a year. The last one lasted about three months. I have used genuine brands (Garmin) and aftermarket (chinese) and both brands fail after a while.

Very nice unit. Works fine

Very nice unit. Works fine; appears to be of good quality. Too bad the original one with the unit was such a piece of trash.

Great for adding Garmin USB power to your motorcycle.

Worked perfect! Used an add-a-circuit and hardwired my GPS in my 2010 Subaru Forester to make room for a dash cam.

Don’t buy the cheap generic one, get this!

So far so good. I bought the cheaper one with the square box that houses the voltage reducer and it lasted about 400 miles on my snowmobile (12V, not AC) before it started…

Great product to keep the power cable out of the line of sight.

Works great and functions as hoped. Used to hardwire my Garmin Dashcam 20 to my car so I don’t have to keep plugging it in and now the power cord is out of the way.
