In the pic above without the GPS shown, the BMW mount / ball has the Garmin 1450T bracket snapped on it. Here is a good pic of the ball.
Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I just bought this mount and I have a quick question:

I plan to use a generic garmin that I have that does use the ball mount, but the ball in the bmw socket has this "little pin" sticking out in the centre...

Does new garmins make use of that ? can I "shave" it off ? Mine (which probably is about 3 years old) will not fit in the ball if I do not shave that pin off.

thanks !
