So, after using the ZUMO for the pass several months I finally lost the security screw that locks the ZUMO in the mount!

If your like me I like removing the ZUMO from the mount in case of theft while traveling or local riding. One thing I didn't like about the mount was the goofy little screw driver and screw used to lock the ZUMO to the mount. So, before I contacted Garmin I looked up another alternative from the ZUMO Forum and here's what I bought...







The order form is located here http://www.zumoforums.com/index.php?topic=1153.0

It works great and I can remove the ZUMO from the mount quick without any tools. I'd recommend it to anyone with a ZUMO and it only takes five days from Germany.

Hope this helps!

That's what I said! Yes, it's from Germany, but it didn't take that long only about 5 business days to get it in the mail; It cost $11.00 for one and I think they give you a deal when you buy more.

You can easily make a new security screw driver with a small flat tip screw driver and a dremel.

Good idea, so have done this already? Post some pictures if you have any! If my memory is correct I believe you have a ZUMO 550! correct?

I haven't done it, but others have. So much for it being a "security" screw. LOL. It is really there to secure to the mount, not prevent theft. They could just unscrew the RAM mount and cut the power cord. RAM makes a keyed lock for the mount.

I have the 450.

I agree I don't know why they call it a security screw, and yes I have seen the lock (key) but I'm not sure it will fit with my setup.
