              Just got my new sat nav, a Garmin Zumo 550 and want to hardwire it in.
              I'm gonna use the spare connector behind the instrument panel
 My question is:
 
 Do i have to keep the in line fuse on the power supply cable provided or can i cut it down to the length i require as the factory connector should be fused, shouldn't it?
 
 Wiring not my speciality to say the least..............
 
 Thanks in advance

         Hi MudMatt, I would still retain the fuse in the satnav lead, it will be of the correct rating and if a problem does happen then it will blow and not your Garmin

 the fuse supplying the connector will be a lot higher rated
