Question posted by adamsondiane on February 9th, 2012

Can I Get The Receiving Plug That Goes Into The Back Of The Garmin Gps 188/238?

One of the pins is missing out of the 13 pins, and it won't power on.  I would like to just buy this plug as it is removable.  If I can buy it, how much and where?
