Forerunner 405

Second Hand 405 (Read 7 times)

    Some running friends of mine have given me a 405 that belonged to one of the couple, but he stopped using it.  In attempting to set up an account on Garmin connect, It states the unit has already been registered to my friend.  Is there a way around this?

     

    It also seems to have "issues"  (which is why I think they were keen to give it to me).  Would a return -refurbish- replace be an option with Garmin?

      I haven't logged into my connect account in a while so I checked it out. It looks like they are registering devices to your account based on the serial number. I'm guessing that they will have to unlink the 405 from your friend's account before you can register it under your name. You'll probably have to contact Garmin to see if they can transfer the info to a new account or remove it from your friend's account. I didn't see anything about allowing users to remove devices from their list by themselves.

       

      Nevermind. Check out this link on the Garmin support page. Your friend can remove the device from their account on the myGarmin.com page.
