.
I have also tried the Garmin smartphone link app but I could not get it to connect with the Nav V, has anybody tried this app and got it working?

---

Thanks guys, I will give it another go following those tips . I always find getting new things to pair can be a trial. Would love to get it working as it does sound quite useful.

backRoadS , thanks. Got smartphone link happily working with my Nav V and a Interphone headset.
Love the feature that allows me to send a destination from the phone straight to the GPS.

I like the look of the moto mate. I have a similar one mounted in this position but is flimsy in comparison by the look of it. Don't know the brand. But I can't adjust the angle of easily without it fouling. My problem with it is the reflection of my head is visible on the screen. I'll be interested hear if you get this too.

My Moto Mate arrived this morning and now fitted ,so much better .
Came with new handle bar bolts as well .

Struggling to find the post again, but I read earlier today an old post about the Moto-Mate bracket fouling the standard screen in its lowest position. Someone suggested fitting a nylon washer under the top two screen screws. I just tried it with a couple of half inch rubber tap washers - works a treat, lifting the screen a few millimetres off its support at the top which translates to about 10-12mm (almost 1/2”) at the top of the screen - much better clearance to the satnav mount. I had already rotated the clutch and brake levers down a little (and I do find them slightly more comfortable to operate as per Phil’s Moto-Mate instructions).

The Moto-mate bracket is well made, however, despite tightening the two retaining bolts, it still tends to rotate when adjusting the screen up/down. This is not a major issue to me as in the up position the turbulence is terrible so I tend to leave it set low - cleaner air flow and helps keep my speed sensible and preserve my licence… . I’ll test the mod tomorrow - hopefully won’t adversely affect the air flow….

The nav is a little vertical but it’s a vast improvement on the standard handle bar mount. It also should reduce reflections (although that does mean I can’t admire my new helmet whilst riding…). Treated myself to a small torque wrench before replacing the handlebar bolts with those supplied by Moto-mate - 19Nm is surprisingly low but I don’t fancy guessing the torque when it is safety critical and stainless bolts into the alloy yoke…

Replacement cap head hex screws are supplied in the package from Moto-Mate but I will not be able to use them as I have a 25mm bar riser kit installed so will need longer fasteners for the handlebar clamp.
Wunderlich do sell the 4 fasteners I will be replacing which have a thread tapped in them to allow for the fitting of the factory nav mount L brackets. However they do not seem to supply the torx cap head at +25mm so will likely get what I need from Westfield fasteners.

You know, looking at that picture has me thinking I need one of those. Looking at the GPS in the stock position really isn't that safe, is it? I can't tell from the picture. Once the GPS mount isn't on top of the bars, do you replace the four bolts holding the bars in place with socket head cap screws?

I am going to fit a Moto Mate sat nav mount and in the place where the mount sits from the factory I am going to mount a 1" RAM ball in one of the cap head screw holes to mount my phone using a Quadlock mount. Am I right in thinking that the cap head screws are M8 thread size? Thanks!

As an alternative to the Moto Mate, MV also makes a nav prep/phone mount. I already have a ConnectedRide cradle, but like many others I found the stock position of the nav prep less than ideal for safe and easy viewing. Others have reported that the Moto Mate will cause the nav prep/cradle to foul the windscreen in its lowest position. Here is my solution which does not cause the phone to contact the windscreen even in the lowest position, which I prefer. I also get a clear view of the TFT and phone. I just left the nav prep/ConnectedRide cradle in the stock position.

I just installed an MRA Vario X-Screen. It does not contact the Zumo XT in the MotoMate mount even with the screen in the lower position and in the lower screw holes.

Ftted a Moto-Mate satnav relocation mount to my R1250RS with GIVI screen and no extra risers. Simple, quick fit, and so much easier safely to use my Nav VI. Nice piece of kit and ok price (I cannot fabricate).
