If you guys are expecting it to be a "how to fix it" manual, you are in for a surprise.
You aren't wrong exactly, but having the manual would still be useful. At least you could tell that "to fix X you do or don't need to the magic widget". On one previous trip, I lost power to the GPS in the middle of Texas. While the real problem was in the accessory line, not the factory wiring harness, I would have liked to have access to the wiring diagram to consider different ways of fixing the problem.

PS:The main purpose is.... it would make me feel better.
