i suppose it's all down to what model you have and will the terminals match up along with the locking catches. My guess is it's doubtful as they upgrade models to force us to keep buying new. If the answer is no, then I suggest you check out the thread on using mobile phones as there appears to be some great success at a fraction of the cost.

Thanks for that. Will wait for the price to come down on the genuine OE item

I have had the nav iv and now the nav v and I have to say that although expensive the bmw motorrad navigator v (5) is brilliant. I am touring Germany as we speak and it is faultless. GPS is superb, phone calls are crystal clear and it is very accurate.

The Garmin 660, Navigator IV and V are all compatible with the LC cradle. However the wonder wheel won't work with the 660. The Nav V I find is far superior to the IV. Bigger brighter screen and faultless prompts throughout UK and Europe. The Media player is also first class with separate volume settings for prompts, phone and music.

The 660 was faultless throughout France Switzerland and Italy but like you say doesn't work with the wheel. Can't complain for the money
