Any one tried this locking mechanism for a Garmin Zumo 660- or other models?

I have looked into them and they are certainly over-engineered. I have seen them at the BMW rally and really like them but at $180 i think I will just keep removing it and putting it away while traveling.

If the $$$ isn't an issue, I am sure you will love it!

I have the older type Touratech locking mount for my Zumo 660- It has been in use for over 2 yrs - Well pleased with it

At least I know its more secure when I fill up with fuel and leave the Spyder to pay for it at the kiosk the Zumo is locked on its
mount at least stops anyone doing a quick grab for it as the Zumo supplied mount is easy to use to release the Zumo about
3-5 secs

See this thread posted sometime ago -Note they have redesigned the locking mount as the key is located at the bottom and not at
the top as per my mount

I designed a little clip that prevents the release button from being activated to release the 660/665 from its cradle unless you know how to remove it. Not as secure as the key lock by any means but it cost me $0.00 and about 1/2 hour to make.

My security device cost me $5. Whenever I go in to pay for gas or go for lunch, I drape my Shampa over the GPS until I get back. Out of sight, out of mind. Never any problems, besides, the external locking devices are clunky and can actually draw attention.

I had a locking mechanism with my 550 that did not come with the 665; however, I dont miss the abilty to lock down the 665. If I get off for the night, I hit the button and put the GPS in the tourpak...or trunk. It's easyier than you think.

I have this on my RS and have no problems with it...Provides additional security but if somebody wants to rip it off, they'll rip it off...It's a deterrant that I think is worth the money.
