WANTED - Car mount for BMW Nav 5 sat nav

[Steve F]

As per subject heading - I'm after one of these if anyone's got one or knows of one for sale. Dealer sells them for £85!!! Hence my asking.....

Think you will have trouble finding a pre owned one.  Just in case you get tempted, the Garmin 660 one will fit but won't work as it has no speaker.

This is the BMW kit for £85.50, https://www.bahnstormer.co.uk/product/n ... v-car-kit/

Handtec offer a Garmin Zumo 660 car mount for £35, https://www.handtec.co.uk/garmin-zumo-6 ... 70-02.html

The power cable is £15, https://www.handtec.co.uk/garmin-zumo-5 ... 47-03.html

Have bought both items from Handtec for use with a Garmin Zumo 660.

For BMW stuff, read as Garmin x2 the price.

As I pointed out the 660 unit is only half what you need for the Nav V. It has no speaker.

Just remembered, bought the power cable from Amazon for £6, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rheme-Garmin-C ... ar+Charger

Could Bluetooth be used between the BMW Nav V and the car audio system.

Wouldn't have thought so as the mount will disable it so it works through the speaker. OK with a 660.  No good on a V.
The BMW kit includes all,you need including giving you the ability to connect the cup to the dash board, not just the screen. 
The price difference is nowhere near twice as much when you add it all up. Twice the warranty as well .

Shame about the Garmin 660 lack of integral speaker. As you say, although not cheap, BM kit will have a decent warranty on it, from a dealer (in my case Lovetts) who generally don't faff about when any kit is broken/malfunctioning!Anyway, the inputs are greatly appreciated. Thanks. As you say, pre-owned may well be like proverbial rocking horse !

Looking at the reviews, for most it won't stick to the dash.  That's another £2 gone.
