I have noticed that the plastic door that closes behind the data card for the GPS (trunk unit) will not stay shut. It pops back open after I close it and almost always pops open after I shut the trunk.

I have tried bending the door so that the "tab" stays in place when I close the door behind the data card.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions???

no

Me neither. Have you opened and closed it a lot? I think I opened mine once. It stays shut.

Mine does the same thing. It has only been intentionally opened one time and now it will not stay closed.

Card door

Silverado...that is exactly the same thing that happened with my unit. Obviously you are supposed to be able to open the unit (door) to replace the Garmin data card which is going to cost about $299 sometime in early 2007.

So what did you do to resolve your door issue?

I have not resolved it. I tired loosening the screws that hold the unit to the trunk and realiging the unit but the door still opens. I thought maybe the unit was not aligned or twisted in some way that was causing hte door to pop open. Guess I will try just to tape it shut. It is a bad design. The door does not have a large enough area for the latch to grab.

mine is the same...always stays open...guess it's just the nature of the plastic the way it's shaped...ride safe...

Can we say warranty repair?? You paid for a warranty quit messin with it, that's their deal.

Finally, a solution. I don't have an 06 GPS so I don't have the problem, but if I did, that would be my fix also.

Way to go Dude. :lol:

Some stuff just isn't worth the hassle to chase warranty, and can result in more problems that you started with. Fix it and move on. Damn door doesn't mean squat anyway.

Ride safe.

Baron, why would we have to replace the crad?

 

[centerpunch]

I opened mine to re-insert the card after it came loose and I lost all detailed information on roads. Only main roads would show up and very crudely illustrated. I pushed the card in and it worked great again. The door reset in the original position and has not been a problem. I do think I am going to put a piece of foam in between the door and the card to make sure it stays put.

Per Garmin, the data card ONLY contains maps and roads. Garmin is planning an update that replaces the existing card and sends you a new one with map/road updates. The cost is going to be around $299.

I am not clear..., sorry!
Besides the updated roads is there anything else as far as the system as a whole is concerned?
Will the old card still work? I hope the update is not mandatory for the system to still work?
Thanks!

The update is NOT madatory...but if you want updated maps/roads, you will have to go thru their upgrade which means replacing the data card.

do you really think they'll charge that much ?...who's gonna pay that much for a map update ?...if it ends up being that expensive, this is one person who won't be updating...ride safe...
