Garmin Quest Master coupon code

gdwales · Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 11:39 pm Post subject: Garmin Quest Master coupon code

I have just bought a Quest off e-bay for my motorbike. In my innocence/ignorance I didnt ask enough questions and the unit came without the Master Code or software CD. The seller now says he hasnt got them. The way I read it I need the master code to update the maps, currently V6.

Am I now stuck with an out of date system or is it possible to update without original code.
Only got the quest cos I cant afford the Zumo or TT Rider.

Any help/advice welcomed, Thanks

Well I have spoken to Garmin, its not looking good.
They were very helpfull but not able to resolve problem. Basically the unit is not registered to the guy I bought it off and without the permission of the registered owner I cannot register it in my name. They have no record of it being stolen, (but its unlikely anyone would report it to them anyway).
Garmin cannot tell me anything about registered owner (DATA PTOTECTION ACT), not even his e-mail address, and they are not allowed (or willing?) to contact PO to check.

So basically I am stuffed, I cant register it to upgrade maps,cant check if it is stolen so the only options I have is live with the out of date mapping and take the loss.
Not willing to stick it back on e-bay and give some other sucker the problem.

Return it to the person you bought it from. It's defective. Contact eBay if he refuses.

Well I have sent him an e-mail asking for a refund on the grounds given above so will wait for his reply.
I am away for aweek (without the garmin) so will let you know what happens when I get back.
Cheers
