Looks good. Does anyone know how to purchase from the UK? Their own website only allows the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

There is a new cable from Garmin for the xt. People who swap there original cable receive this one.
First pic is original, second the new cable.

So I assume the small upstands on the side of the new cable enable the cover to sit on more securely with less effort and therefore alleviate the problem of bent/broken connectors ??
