Garmin mount security screw - driver?

[cartejo5]

Morning folks, I own an old 100gs which has a garmin 2600 series mount already wired up however in the top of the mount theres this odd shaped screw. I'm guessing its a security screw is it possible to get replacement screwdrivers or such like for these things? Or do you need to buy a complete new mount....

Thanks for any help.

Yes It's actually a Torx security head or I could send you a driver as I've converted mine (thread on here a while back) to ordinary nurled screws

Cheers, re a GPS unit i know this is going off the original topic a bit but I'd be interested in your opinions.......

Currently I don't own one however I'm torn between buying a Garmin 2620 off of ebay for £120 apparently fully factory recon with 12 mth guarantee or a new Zumo 550 which i've seen advertised at £380. I appreciate these are significantly different units I'm just trying to decide whether its really worth spending the extra money on the Zumo?

Opinions please?

Thanks
John

Thanks Bryn, I've been in touch with the ebay seller he seems to know what hes talking about and the £120 ish price is most appealing, when i asked him about m\cycle suitability i got this reply:-

"These units are factory Newly overhauled but although we have mentioned this on the listing there is nothing on the box or instructions to say this. The unit comes complete and with all factory seals and stickers and fully warranted by Garmin. You have to register the unit online to activate the update.

The 2620 does have a hardrive so is a moving part. However people that want to use satnav on bike usually have touring bikes which have softer suspension (probably better than a car). So these are not a problem to use. You will come across a lot of people on the net who currently use a 2620 on their bike and very happy.

Kind regards,

Harry"

Thanks for your input.
