Question about Garmin 660 that BRP offers

[NancysToy]

Scotty, I've tried that and I even took a suggestion from Lamont a couple of years ago and tried a pencil eraser. Additionally, I bought a new battery thinking that might be the cause. I did all the updates by Garmin.

Mind you it works. It's just that after awhile I start hearing static, and then the voice and sound disappears. When that happens, it will not turn off when I shut down the power supply, i.e., pulling the plug from the outlet.

I'll figure it out sooner or later......The "shimming" has helped a lot.

Not shutting down when you pull the plug indicates that the problem lies in the Garmin itself, not the cradle, IMO. If it is a crack in the circuit board, a loose connection, or a bad component, the shimming may put a little pressure on it, making better contact indirectly. Sounds like time for a repair.

Scotty, The only cleaner that I will let touch my Harley or Spyder is called (( Purple Slice )) I use it on Plastic chrome paint. And my helmet face shield, Plus I have made my own Lock for the Garmin 660 mount. I went to a real good hardware store with a wide selection of small screws with unusual heads. By that I mean a rounded head with special tool to remove it, something your not going to have in your tool kit or pocket. I drilled and threaded the hole and put the screw in! Now you can push the side button all you want, and the GPS is staying put! Now if a guy really wants to steal it, they can try. But they better hope I don't hear my phone pager go off from the alarm, and he runs faster then a .40cal Glock that's always on my hip.

I'm still old school with my Garmin 550 ($350 new) and aftermarket mount ($49) works great and I get XM radio with the extra ant ($99) added. All added up to around $500.
