Moving a Garmin 660 from a GS to an RT?

[RodO]

Can I use the wiring that came with my Garmin 660 to connect to an OEM bracket on an RT A/C that I'm contemplating. My dealer isn't sure if I can buy just the bracket and re-use the wiring I have now on my GS, or if I need the bracket + wiring.

Something tells me the wiring loom on the RT should have the wiring pre-installed, but I could be wrong...

Thanks,

As far as I know, you can't just buy the bracket...but ther are other solutionss. A search should yield a lot of information.

I'll have to look for alternative brackets -- I don't think I'd like the OEM bracket location being so far below my line of sight. (Assuming I make a move to the RT...).

Thanks, Scotty!

I had the cradle for the 550 permanently mounted and wired to my RS. Decided that i didn't use the GPS a lot so went with a short 12 volt extension cord runnign it form the 12 volt plug in the trunk to the passenger handle. I use the suction cup mount and stick it on the tach glass. Just run the cord along the seat edge. That way I can put it on and take it off whenever I want. The cradle peranently mounted to the handlebar on the RS was getting some corrosion. Just a thought.

Thanks Teach!
Don't have the RT yet, but was wondering if the suction mount could be used.
