Zumo 660 MP3 Skipping

Hello Everyone,

I have been suffering this skipping issue for sometime now. So here is my connection, the Zumo 660 hard wired into the Harley Davidson auxiliary port. Both rider and passenger are hard wired into the headset, so there is no bluetooth, in fact bluetooth on the Zumo660 is turned off, did that for testing and never turned it back on. MP3's are on the sd card, it is a Samsung 16GB EVO Class 10 and has about 1800 songs on it. All MP3's were checked multiple times with different programs checking for errors, and there are currently no errors on any MP3's on the SD Card. I have searched the forums for any help of which there is some, however all skipping issues seem to be bluetooth issues. I have created folders and only have 20 MP3's or less per folder. After a random amount of time the MP3's will skip, sometimes I can turn the Zumo660 off and back on and that will fix the problem other times it will not. I have firmware version 5.10 installed on the unit, if I remember correctly version 4.80 did not have the skipping of the MP3's, however I have no idea how to re-flash version 4.80 to test it out. So I still have the skipping problem looks like Garmin could really care less, as I have not seen any firmware changes in a long time.

So what I do know Garmin Support is pretty much worthless or of no help at all. I contacted them and they told me to factory reset the unit, wow thanks Garmin I have only done this a couple dozen times before I contacted you, maybe the umpteenth time will make something magically happen. Anyone have any ideas short of buying another unit that will just reveal the same problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Bill
