The manual mentions a microphone bracket and a GPS interface cable, but it does not specify where to purchase replacements. The product page states that the Cobra Marine MR-F45-D has been discontinued. You may need to check with Cobra Electronics or marine radio accessory suppliers for compatible parts.
