Yeah, mine uses the same traffic receiver cable. If you're brave, you could cut off the 12v plug and just wire it to 12v. But since the darn cable is so pricey and hard to come by, I think it is better to just keep it intact. I don't want to dedicate my existing 12v plug to it. What I did in my last ride, I added a 12v plug under the console. The Garmin cable went through the dash and plugged in out of sight. You can buy sockets or an "extension cord" for a 12v and cut that, leaving a wired female outlet.Looks like either of the Ram standard bases will work fine mounting to that trim piece. I like the look of the Diamond shape better than the round one. I’ll look to see how easy it is run the wire up. I have the traffic module on my wire so I’ll still plug it into the 12v cigarette lighter outlet.
If I am going to make use of that area for mounts, I am going to double up because it's past time to invest in a dash cam for this world. At that point I may as well add USB outlets up there too, heh.
