Garmin External Speaker with 12 Volt Adapter for StreetPilot 010 10477 01
This accessory is a replacement for the 12/24-volt adapter cable with external speaker that came with your StreetPilot 2610/2650. It allows you to power your unit off the vehicle’s battery and hear the voice prompts. So if you need a new one, don’t delay. You’ll be lost without it.

5 Stars Expensive solution for a cheap problem
I own a Garmin Streetpilot 2620 and purchased this external speaker to replace the broken tip on the original external speaker purchased in 2004. The good news is that Garmin has finally redesigned the tip in this current version of the external speaker. However, there is a much cheaper solution…
Garmin offers a “External speaker repair kit” from their 1-800 customer service that can replace the same parts. I purchased this kit which includes all the possible parts that could possibly break on your external speaker (tip, plastic screw, a fuse, and the spider clip).
Garmin finally got it right with this model of the speaker.
5 Stars Excellent Quality, Great Seller
Second time my dog chewed this up and the same company provided a replacement quickly at a good price. The adapter is perfect, works great, excellent quality.
3 Stars Garmin StreetPilot Power/Speaker Adapter
The product works fine and the delivery time was excellent. The price was still a little high, but much better than you could purchase it from Garmin. I love my Garmin GPS, but I find that this integral part of the system is prone to failure and repeated replacement. Because of poor engineering design or whatever, Garmin should stand behind their product better and either design a better adapter, or at least discount the existing design to GPS owners.
1 Star Save Your Money!
Rather than shell out $30 to $40 for another flimsy replacement, one can just go to Radio shack and buy a “Y” cigarette lighter accessory (allowing 2 accessories to plug into one socket). This assumes you can salvage the pieces from your broken plug-in. Simply reassemble the broken pieces (make sure the fuse is there), and slide all into one of the sockets on the “Y”, then tape the Garmin plug and “Y” socket together to make sure it remains secure. You now have the new “Y” to plug in and out of the cigarette lighter and an extra socket on the “Y” for your celphone!!
5 Stars Just as good as the original.
The one that came with my GPS broke, and this one works as good as that one. No difference.
