My Chinese GPS got knocked off by some low life whose need was greater than
mine.
I purchased a replacement GPS with A/V input however the existing AV input plug is too big. The original cabling from the reversing camera is 3 wire cable terminated on a 3.5 mm plug (similar to external speaker plug ) with four segments on the plug
The new GPS has a 2.5 mm socket (I think). I bought a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm adapter
but it did not work, On investigation it only had 3 segments on the male adapter plug
compared to four on the cabling plug.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem in our shrinking world ?

Sounds like you have either a Mini Din or a S Video.
A Mini din has small round pins in it and a Svideo has similar but also has a small rectangular plastic pin to get orientation correct.
You can buy adapters at Jaycar for either to RCA.
I had a similar problem where the video was on a different pin to standard I got an old RCA cable and plug and an SVideo cable and just cut and made a short patch cable. Worked a treat

I think you will find that he is describing a phone jack style plug.
