| Subject: | Garmin 496 - XM Antenna connector |
Installing a Garmin 496 in my Super Decathlon and the 90 degree connector
for the XM Antenna has interference issues. The connector looks like a
standard Mini-USB-B 5-Pin ; so I cut the cable expecting to splice on a cut
cable from a standard Mini-USB-B cable.
The XM Antenna cable is 5-conductor. I'm learning that every Mini-USB-B
cable I buy and cut is 4-conductor. Does anyone have any good answers ??
All I'm needing is a straight connector on my XM Antenna.

If you are wanting it to fit in that panel dock thing, you should have
carved the plastic out that it interferes with. You may be SOL and have
to buy a new antenna/reciever.
