Accessories Plug

[Joe]

Hi everyone, I just finished mounting a ram mount for my gps and have found that the accessories plug on the Garmin is too big for the socket (cigarette lighter). I have been told that these are a standard size in North America. Is the European standard smaller? I would think that Ducati would put a North American accessories outlet on a North American bike. Am I missing something? Has anyone run into this problem? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Joe ,
Look for hella sockets and adaptors

Thanks for the heads up thenozzle. Found a bunch on ebay, I didn't even know Din and Hella existed before today. Thanks again.

Try to plug you sat nav into a usb hella adapter as it is a lot smaller connection or have it wired directly to power supply, there is some videos on this in YouTube, glad to be of some help

I replaced the euro plugs with american plugs.  Not to hard to do.  I changed the one on the dash to 2UBS plugs instead of the euro plug.

Have you got any pictures of the USB plugs

Is this Garmin sat nav unit a car unit or a bike unit?? as if its a bike unit I would of thought it would just have bare wire ends
