There is no way to hard wire the GPS because the wire assembly is also the traffic update wire/antenna (built-in) so it has to stay that way if I use the traffic update feature of the GPS
as Mr Nimziki said in "Forth of July", "Excuse me Mr GG, that is not entirely accurate" -
I have my Garmin hard wired by dropping the power cord down and to the front of the dash cover at the windshield, then tucking it in there, running right to the panel on the passenger side with the key for the airbag, then plugging into a female cigarette lighter socket they is hard wired to the glove box light.
( the glove box light and the cigarette lighter plug are common )
All you see is the small section of wire from the Garmin to the windshield ........
