    I thought it would come with a speaker unit like the unit I was replacing. It does not.

    Pros

    This cable does get me operational with three Garmin GPS units, but it is best connected only once on either end or you face a pulled apart cable, which is unusable.

    Cons

    This version of the cigarette Lighter adapter, is of cheaper quality than the ones with the 90 degree pllug into the GPS.
    This is the thrid one I have had to buy as the pressed insert pulls out when disconnecting the cable from the GPS, and the cigarette lighter plug in, is also flimsily made making causing the plug in to come apart.

    General Comments

    I wish there were a better quality cable available from Sporty's.

    Did not fit my 296 as advertised. Quality very poor. I have had three previous cords break at the connection to the GPS unit. Very poor quality.

    Garmin recently changed the style of their plug to a straight plug the photo is in accurate. From the original 90 degree angle plug now it will not fit in my GPS mount in my plane. The new plug is worthless I had to return it to Sportys. Why a company would change the plug style is beyond me. I spoke to a Garmin Representative I was told the change was to stop wire breakage. If the consumer would grasp the plug to to remove it. They wouldn't have that problem. I still don't understand why a company as large as they are couldn't carry both styles of plugs. I purchased a Garmin 196 when they first came out and I have used the same mount ever since. After paying $2300 for the GPS I expected better support from Garmin.

    Very poor design. Does not last long when moved from one
    plane to another. Garman should have to replace them every
    time they come apart.
