Pros & Considerations
Pros:
- Precise fit for Garmin VIRM devices ensures secure attachment without adhesives or universal clamps that may not grip properly
- Connects to thousands of RAM mounting options including handlebar mounts, mirror mounts, suction cups, and permanent vehicle bases
- Infinite angle adjustment via RAM ball and socket system allows perfect screen positioning to reduce glare and improve visibility
Considerations:
- Requires separate RAM arm and base components to create a complete mounting system – this adapter only provides the device-to-ball connection
- Only compatible with Garmin VIRM series devices – not interchangeable with other Garmin models or navigation brands without specific adapters
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What RAM Mounts components do I need besides this adapter?
A: You need a RAM arm (such as RAM-B-201U short arm or RAM-B-238U double socket arm) and a base (like RAM-B-367U handlebar mount or RAM-B-166U suction cup). The adapter provides the device connection, the arm provides adjustability, and the base attaches to your vehicle.
Q: Will this adapter fit other Garmin navigation models?
A: No, this RAM-B-202U-GA63 is engineered specifically for Garmin VIRM series devices. Other Garmin models like zumo, Montana, or eTrex require different RAM adapter models with their respective interface patterns.
Q: Can the ball connection handle motorcycle vibration without loosening?
A: Yes, RAM’s 1-inch ball and socket system uses a tightening knob that compresses rubber bushings around the ball. When properly tightened, the connection remains secure through sustained vibration on highways and off-road terrain. Periodic checks are recommended for high-vibration bikes.
Q: Is the adapter weather-sealed for rain riding?
A: The adapter itself is weather-resistant and will not degrade from rain exposure. However, the connection point between adapter and Garmin device should match your Garmin VIRM’s weatherproofing rating – ensure your device’s ports are protected according to manufacturer guidelines.
Q: Can I quickly remove my Garmin device with this adapter attached?
A: The adapter typically stays attached to the Garmin device. For quick removal, consider adding a RAM Twist-Lock base to your setup, which allows tool-free device and adapter removal as a single unit by twisting to unlock from the arm.
