Here's some recent Gilsson 18 Pin Bare Wire Power Cable reviews:
Jaak December 31, 2009	Installed this in my 2002 Boxster S with no real issues. I needed to add a few short wires to the ends so I could connect to the fuse box and ground. This portion of the cables should be a bit longer as the ground wire seems to wrap around the + wire like a shield which does not allow you to separate the ends further up the lead. The "fuse box" makes it a bit difficult to feed the wires through a small opening without removing parts of the dash. The install looks clean without the lighter adapter cable running along the dash!
sparmax December 21, 2009	Fast shipping, will buy again!
elwray December 17, 2009	I used this to power my Nuvi 750 on my motorcycle. It functions identically to the 12v cigarette lighter adapter that came with the unit, except it comes with bare leads already exposed, making it easier to hard wire. For the price of this cable, it more than pays for itself by preventing the headaches of moving the Garmin cable back and forth between two motorcycles.
Bryan December 2, 2009	I used this to permanently mount GPS in an emergency vehicle. As far as I know, it will not be an antenna for traffic, but we don't need that. Contains transformer for 12V to 5V conversion. Worked great for our purposes.
Michael November 16, 2009	Wireing A+. Directions F-. When I received it, it had no directions. I did not know if it needed an inline fuse installed or not. I Did not want to burn out my GPS by hooking it up wrong. I spent a complete day on the phone, calling other suppliers of these cords and talking to everyone I could think of and no one knew the correct way of hooking it up. Finely I hooked an inline fuse on the hot wire (Red) between the end of the wire and the battery. I hooked the red wire to the + side of the battery, and the ground wire to the frame. Installed the GPS in it's bracket and waited for the smoke and flames to sizzle my GPS to a melted lump of plastic all over my bike. Nothing happened. The GPS came to life and worked fine. After saying all that, the bottom line is, a little note with the wireing saying "Hook the hot (red) wire to the plus battery post or accessory side of your switch and the ground (black) wire to the frame. There is a fuse in the black box inline in the wireing." THAT LITTLE NOTE WOULD HAVE SAVED ME A COMPLETE ALL DAY JOB OF RESEARCH, UNCERTAINTY, AND WORRY. SHAME ON YOU. I still didn't know what size fuse to put in the fuse holder that I installed. After some thought, I took the fuse out of the car cigarette lighter plug and used that size fuse. About five days later, another company called from their tech support where I had left my name and number and told me to hook the wires directly to the battery. Red to + and black to -. They said that the fuse was in the black box in the wireing. I would purchase from GPS City again. Mabye everyone can learn from this.
