If you use Farcebook, have a look in Marketplace. I found two mounts on there.

Don’t do Facebook have seen new ones on flea bay but they look like copy’s so not sure if they would work properly?.now while messing around with the 660 on the bmw prep it’s never given voice commands from its built in speaker,(works fine when hand held) so when looking into finding a mount I came across a diagram of the power pins on the mount and only the top four pins are power in and out,so I carefully placed a same peace of thin tape over the other connectors on the back of the nav and hay presto charging nav and voice please drive to high lighted route.hope this info can help someone else? Still need a mount for the Honda!

There's 3 on there, one at £10, one at £50 and another at £80. I can message the sellers and give them your contact details if you want to follow them up. You can send me a PM with your contact No. if you would like to do that. Cheers, Pete.

I'll message the sellers, see what comes back.
To send a PM click on my username (kernowing) and you'll see the option to send a private message, it's better to use PM's rather than putting phone numbers or email addy's on a public forum.
Cheers, Pete.

I have 2 replies, one will post for £60 but no offers.
The other is asking for £80 plus p&P but open to a sensible offer.
The one advertised for £10 hasn't replied yet.

The Garmin Aera 660 aviation mount will take our 660 Zumo devices: just need to remove a little tab on the bottom of the mount, with a dremmel or similar.
Available here for a start for you: https://www.bavionics.co.uk/product/gar ... and-audio/

Hi Andy I wanted to swap back to my garmin mount to get full use of my old 660 on my bmw r1250 gsa with nav prep the 660 dose not see the bmw handle bar control s and also turns off the inbuilt speaker, but after seeing a drawing of the connection pins I have blocked off all but the top four pins with a small piece of insulation tape and now I have voice back so I now do not require a mount, but thank you for your information. The big trouble I have now is with updates not enough space a topic well covered on here the 660 is now 16 years old so think she is due replacing xt2 perhaps? She has a recorded 184,000 miles in total so had my money s worth really 😎
