Thanks for cheking. When you have time will you check 3790 also.
The Application I have in mind is a mute controller. (car kit). (Stereo from Nuvi is not important)
Like Cellphone MP3 or Ipod +Nuvi, When Nuvi Speaks Ipod Shuts Up (automatically), Have to do it by the mount because I need 5volts from the mount to power my electronics.
Also that cable is ok for once or twice usage but not for for everyday usage. Some days I remove nuvi from mount 20 times.
When I have money I will buy another mount to see. But if I can get pinout it will help me, maybe someone has a broken mount ?

Because someone can?

Seriously, the why in this case doesn't matter. The point is that it's theoretically possible. Is it practical? No, but Android developers aren't always into practical.

About different GPS modules!
I noticed that one device have MTK cash folder -
0:/.System/GPS/mt.nvm,834d94f8
0:/.System/GPS/ARC.BIN,44a017f5
0:/.System/GPS/BEE.BIN,6bfebb13
and another unit do not have it!

So version of GPS was absolutly different for each of that devices...
