At GPS frequencies, any botched cable will seriously degrade the reception. There are also two, perhaps three different standards for the voltage fed up the cable to power the active antenna - so basically it needs to be right.

No idea at all, sorry. I know some use 3v, 5v and I suppose some could use 12v - but that is the limit of my knolwledge.

John,

it is the right one, I bought one of these when I had my VNR a few years ago. I have the travelpilot in mine now but I never use it anymore thanks to TOMTOM!!
