Garmin 3790t

Hi all,

I'm thinking of buying a Garmin 3790t but want to mount it on a vent mount. Can you charge the unit in the car without it sitting in the screen mount cradle?

An AC charger with cable is also available.

Thanks for that

Another option is a Brodit Pro-Clip to fit your car followed by the Brodit "Garmin Ball" to which you attach the mount that was supplied with the 3790T, works a treat for me, don't forget there is a speaker actually inside the 3790T mount and without this is rather difficult to hear in a moving car - Mike

Thanks Mike, just ordered the Brodit mount, looks a good piece of kit.

I run the power cable cable/ RDS lead through the air vent and connect it to a ciggy socket I burried behind the dash, this means no wires on show even if you do have to cut a hole in the air pipe feeding the vent to get the cable through - Much neater installation than having spagheti strewn all over the dash and the RDS feed aerial is spliced in to the car aerial so that gets a very good signal even though its out of sight - Mike
