Is the cord for a 2595 replaceable? The one to the dash withe the antenna?

Replacement

The nuvi 2595 is listed as compatible with these two power/traffic cables, one for FM traffic, the other for HD traffic:

Traffic Receivers

GTM™ 60 HD Digital Traffic Receiver
010-01031-00
$69.99 USD

GTM™ 36, North America
010-01009-02
$69.99 USD

In the above link, click the Accessories Tab, then Traffic Receivers.

Since these are traffic receivers as well as power cables, it implies to me that the 2595 does not have the traffic receiver built into the nuvi and therefore the TA power/traffic antenna cables that some Garmin devices use aren't applicable.

If you instead meant the extension traffic cable that works with the GTM-60, it's here:

Is this what you're looking for? If so, I'd suggest buying from Garmin today during CyberMonday sales or maybe cheaper from Amazon or even eBay. Good luck.

Just to be sure:

The only $15 cable I see is the USB cable (Part Number: 010-10723-15) which I think is meant for connecting a computer USB port to your 2595 and would be used most likely for map updates, Custom POIs, etc. I suppose it may be used from a vehicle's USB jack (if the vehicle even has a USB jack) to the nuvi but is not a traffic antenna or traffic receiver and even if it works to power a nuvi in a vehicle, no 'traffic' would be available.

The $9.00 MSRP antenna extension cable is an added antenna that is plugged into the middle of the cable of the GTM-60 power/traffic cable for a stronger signal. It is not part of a nuvi purchase and would always be an additional purchase.

Does this sound right? If not, can you explain how you get power from your vehicle to your nuvi 2595 and whether it now offers traffic (and whether receiving traffic is important to you). In the vehicle, do you power the nuvi from the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket or a USB port? Do you now have traffic?

basic 2595

no traffic, just what came with the Nuvi 2595 LMT iF THE THR "t"IS FOR TRAFFIC ( THRE ONE YOU PAY XTRAVFOR i DI=ON'T HAVE IT. i JUST NEED THE CORD WITH THE CIG LIGHTER AND ANTENNA.tHAT GOES TO THE UNIT TO THE LIGHTER.
