Securing the TFT

[Grumpy Goat]

Agree with your Cymark point in part - they do only claim deterence and I was aware of this from reviews before I bought it and when I fitted it. 2 Torx, both exposed are all that retain it. Will feed back to them all the same.

I'm amazed that the design has 2 exposed torx screws - non-secure at that - to be the last line of defense which includes some sort of lock. Normally the fixings are hidden within the locked arrangement, where you'd have to undo the lock and remove the item being locked, to reveal the fixings. Strange.

I'd been thinking along similar lines to you with your Nav - if it's this easy to steal, why not make it removeable by design. Oh, hang on, BMW have done that already...

I suspect that now that they have had these TFTs on various models for a while, and they learn about the ease at which they are stolen, they may give added consideration to making them easily removable by the owner. No other manufacturer has done this, to my knowledge, and that too may factor into the decision on whether to pursue that. When you think about it, the displays like the TFT dash and the GPSs are the most value-dense items on a bike.
