Dead GXM 30 antenna (I think)

[griff]

My XM radio puck seems to be dead. It died yesterday on my Zumo 550 and I have tried it on my 2730 and it still seems dead. Since I think it might be the USB plug or the cord, I have noticed I can buy just the cover and cord (it looks like it plugs into the puck circuit board) on Ebay and this might fix the problem without buying a whole new puck. Anyone ever just replaced the cover with good results. Thanks for the input.

Hey Griff, yes, I have replaced the cover on my GXM 30. My cover cracked after one of my little off-road excursions, aka crashes. The parts are stupid expensive, but swapping the cover, and cord as I recall, isn't a big deal at all.

Same here. My cord broke inside and I bought one on e-bay and sucessfully fixed it. Saved buku bucks! Just be aware that most of them are coming from China, but mine worked.

My cord broke in its "strain relief" a few years ago and I replaced the cover and cord. Easy peasy.
