Nav V cradle to Garmin 660

Post by Cleverbee »

I've been scanning the forum for the definitive answer, but still a tad grey....

With my PC I received the Nav V that came complete with the 4 button cradle that is surplus to my requirements..
However my best mate has just got a new K1300 and was looking to get a sat nav.  Trying to save a bit of cash for him, I offered the cradle FOC, he just needs to get the head unit.
Does it have to be the Nav V, or will a 660 fit ?????

Thanks in advance

I use a Garmin zumo 660 on my 2015 works fine but you can't use the wonderwheel.

Oops, forgot to mention, it shall be retrofitted to his sports bike, has no wonder wheel, cables shall be mostly redundant, 12v feed only.
Just needed to know if the four buttons on the cradle worked the 660 and the pond aligned......????

Sounds promising Daverj.

Buttons won't work with the 660.  All you get is power but it's a perfect fit for the 660 but I'll be more difficult to attach to a sports bike than the much smaller Garmin cradle. You will also have to change the end of the power lead or buy the adaptor.

Just noticed you said it was for a K1300.  If that's the S the cradle will plug into the Canbus and there is a bracket to fit the cradle.
