I just don't understand why everyone makes everything so hard. why not just use the back power port and tape the two cords together and not be trying to mode the gps and make it to where there might be a odd that a 130.00 gps will not work again. not trying to start any fights just my own opions and trying to understand people. it would be like me taking a OT2m apart and trying to add my own stuff to it when it isn't made for what I add to it and then the OT2m doesn't work and then I'm out of 95.00. its just like when my OT2m stopped working one day I didn't even try to take it apart at all, the first thing I did was ship it back to scott.
