GPS compatabilty

[littlebear]

Just bought a 2017 RT Limited from a dealer ( not Can am), In the deal they agreed to a GPS that mounts in the center of the bars. There was not one with the spyder but the owners wife has a 2015 and he said she never used it and he would supply that one. Now I get a call that the 2015 unit does not fit on the 2017's mount. Are they indeed different and can this problem be resolved..Thanks for the input for a new rider,

The GPS mounts are unit specific so the 2017's mount may be for the garmin 590 while the GPS unit from the 2015 is a garmin 660. Check the GPS unit to determine which one it is; if it is the 660; the mount is difficult to find and you may have to re-negotiate the GPS portion of your deal. The 590 is listed in the BRP catalog for $1,079.99, but I saw it on ebay for $429. on Garmin site for $799. Good Luck

The clasps on the center mounting plate is different between a Garmin 665 and a 595. As was mentioned above, make sure the mounting plate being offered in the deal is compatible with your GPS model.

Your quote for the BRP Garmin 590 of $1079.99 is for CAD. The USD price is still $799.99.https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/shop/spyder-accessories/electrical-electronic-accessories/gps-mounts/garmin-zumo-590-gps-for-all-spyder-models.html

Also, there are different mounts for the Garmin 660 and the Garmin 590.

The older 660s (like I had) fit the 2014 RTLs. In 2015 the GPS units were upgraded and are a bit larger so they will not fit the older 660 cradles. I believe, but am not positive, 2015 thru 2017 GPS models are interchangeable. You should be good to go..... Jim

I am fixing to sell my 590 that is on a Spyder RT... but in looking because of this thread, I see that Can-Am now has a 'universal' mount that fits all 2013-current.. that the 590/595 etc would fit. here is the link to that one. Pricey though... might want to get a ram mount system (I have that as well) and just mount it that way.. but if its on his nickel.. have him do it right.

Here's the link.
