Garmin warranty

Thanks!

Had the unit upgraded to WAAS last december and now screen graying out and have to manually adjust the contrast and brightness to read.

Garmin will cover under warranty. I hate having to send it off but 2 thumbs up for their warranty coverage.
 
Many radios will actually "jack" themselves out a bit as the screw is turned, you should feel it start turning very freely, then a bit of resistance for a few more turns, then hit the stop.

During the time you feel the resistance, watch for movement as the unit starts out of the mount.

Now, after the screw hits the stop, just grasp the radio, and pull it straight out--------should come out easily.

Good luck.
 
before you send it out, try going to the aux pages and fool with the brightness and contrast.... I have had a couple that had issues and fooling with the brightness seemed to fix the problem...
