    powering my Sena Freewire

    I've installed the Sena Freewire in the left side box and it works great with my Serius XM system. Now what I would really like to do is add my Garmin Nuvi to my instruments. Since the Sena Freewire has a cigarette plug for power, and there is only one cigarette jack. I have a cigarette plug in with dual USB ports, which would allow me to plug in both my Sena and my Garmin, however, I need to find a power cord for my Sena that goes from the power input side to a USB plug. I checked with Sena through chat, but they claimed that have no idea where I can find such a cable or even what the plug that goes into the Sena is called. I checked with Staples and they have no such cord, so I'm looking for any suggestions on where I might be able to find a cord that plugs into the Sena and has a USB plug on the other end. Any suggestions ? As a last resort I could add a second cigarette jack, but I hate to do that, and I don't have room for one of those cigarette jack splitters.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried Frys? They carry just about everything.

    I went to Home Depot and found the cigarette Y cable that Ghost Rider mentioned above. It works great. Thanks to each of you for taking the time to provide your assistance. That's what I love about this forum, the sharing of information that helps us all out.

    just a suggestion when you plug item in use electrical tape on the plug in. I have had them vibrate loose a time or 2. Taped mine no more problem.
