Go to your BMW dealer and buy a mount for a BMW Navigator I.

Try a stud mount (replaces one of the bar studs), together with a RAM mount and Garmin cradle.

You need one of these http://www.ram-mount-uk.com/ram-b-149z-g1.htm

It uses the car mounting bracket, screwing it to the circular part of the ram mount.

Holds the unit well on my AT

You could, but it wouldn't fit. The SPIII uses a cradle, which is only about £15 to buy.

Actually, I've just re-read the above. You can use the cradle which was part of the car mounting kit. I bought an extra one, so I could use it in the car & on the bike without having to resort to the screwdriver. Sorry.

StreetPilot has been a generic Garmin brand name used over several years and is now being extended to such devices as i3 and C3xx etc. So please be exacting !.

The original Streetpilot/colormap units had a RAM-B-145B which is 'T' shaped bracket that attched to the rear of the casing. This was also offered as a mount kit as well, so arm and u-bolt.

The SPIII or SPIII deluxe version used Garmin's own cradle (010-10304-00) when removed from the bean bag kit and onto a GS set up the mount is RAM-B-149Z-G1 (as has been suggested) and the round base attaches to the rear back face of the garmin cradle. A power lead BEC01 for the SPIII with bare wire end or same but with BMW plug is CLC01B .. and can be obtained from gps warehouse.

Thats what I need the round base (RAM-B-149Z-G1) to attach to the original cradle, it just so happens that i need a new power lead the audio speaker connection has snapped off mine.

Note that there are two different cradles. One to be used in cars with a simple snap lock and one more robust for the bike. The bike cradle has a screw securing the SP3 to the cradle.

The cradle that came with mine has a securing screw

You can run either City Select or City Navigator or both in your unit. From version 8 and on the only choise is City Navigator.

Use your Cupon Code (=Customer Code) and login as a returning customer at www.garmin.com. There you can see what map licenses are allocated to your unit and also find all unlock codes you need.

Ive got Navigator 5 which appears really dated, and Select 6 which is a bit more up to date

Stef,

I've got a spare City Navigator Europe V7 with unlock code sat here if it's of use.

Reasonable offers accepted.

I should have stipulated that 'reasonable offer' means non-Jockinese reasonable!

I might just use the discs as coasters instead!

It may or may not be of use.

Is it a complete license with unused Cupon Code it may be OK but if it comes only with an Unlock Code it's useless. The Unlock Code works only with a specific unit.

If it's a Update CD it may be of use but only with an unused Cupon Code.

Note that the CD itsef has no value. It can be ordered free from Garmin. It's the Cupon Code that carries value. But only until used....
