BMW navigator mount to Zumo XT adapter

[Stu]

I was contemplating buying the BMW Navigator 6 for the RT but ££££££££££££££ 

 

Like 700 of them  

 

I have a Garmin zumo XT thats less than a year old so I couldn't justify changing

 

So the search started to find a solution to mount the XT in the same position as the BMW one (which is really a Garmin)

 

I found a couple of videos showing people modifying mounts and adding extenders on the bolts to mount the Zumo XT but then you need a tool to release the Zumo XT and then you had to get power to it 

 

I also found n adapter that clips in to the BMW mount then you can attach then Zumo XT mount to that thus using the OE release button but then you still need to get power to it! 

 

Then I came across this solution below! It allows the Zumo mount to be bolted to it then attaches to the BMW mount and also takes the power from the BMW mount and feeds the Zumo 

 

Posted from Italy in just over a week and it works a treat 

 

Yes I don't have control over it like I would with a BMW navigator but to be honest I don't need that anyway

Just a little further out that what the BMW one would sit out but its not a problem

Great for the short sighted then  

 

 

Looks factory from the pic.

Factory

Factory one sits further down because is a lot smaller.

Maybe you can use the space on the back for storage

Is that adaptor unique to your BMW or is it universal? Looks good though!

It's unique to the BMW mount and the XT but others are available

I believe they are the same size 

 

No room for storage

Ah! what's the maker for this mount? I highly doubt there will be one for my bike, just being nosy to see what they offer.

I will post a link when I get chance but they make mounts to adapt the BMW mount and power other sat navs or phones so if you don't have a BMW it may well be pointless! 

 

What are you actually after doing?

Nothing, just wanted to see what other mounts they do. I already have a current setup that works well.

In that case I don't think they will have anything but its always worth a look
