Is there anyone who sells a power cable for the TT Go 700? I see that there is a new full install kit but this seems a little over the top for what I need. Al I want is to power the Go without the use of a cig lighter plug. I understand that there is a drop down transformer in the plug, so you can't just cut the wire but is TT going to make a simple cable/adapter?

don't go there (ha, that was even funny).

Buy a standard "iPAQ style" cigarette lighter adapter with round plug and 5V output. They can be had plentiful on eBay for example

you can't avoid that. If you don't like the looks of it, simply hide the cig lighter socket behind the dash

You can buy an "in-line" cigar lighter socket from Maplins etc. pop it onto a length of cable and use those snap together wire junctions to tap into the wires going to your normal socket. Then the whole lot can be hidden behind the dash.

Maplin part no. Car Accessory Skt FE42V (£0.99)
