Hi All
I have two Zumo 550's both with GXM30 antennas for XM, traffic and weather. Both 550's have been replaced at least once through the Garmin refurb program. On one of them, the touch screen is acting up and Garmin tells me they are now discontinued and cannot do refurbs. My questions:
1. Is it worth buying a screen on ebay and repairing myself? What kind of success have you had? Best place to order from, etc.
2. At this point should I just get a new 665 with XM? Probably would get two do I have the same set up as before.
3. If I do #2, can I get the 660 and use my GXM30 or do I need to order the 665 which comes with the GXM40
4. By chance are the power cables the same for the 550 cradle as the 665 cradle or will I need to rip apart two bike again to reinstall.
Thanks for the info as I am sure many of uou have gone through this already.
