Hi,

Have a Mio 168 have read in various places that the Battery is not replaceable by user, actually have just purchased a new battery from Ebay.

Emailed Global Positioning Systems whom I purchased Mio 168 from they said there should be no problems just remove phillips retaining screws from back cover.

My concern is the the flip up GPS Antenna, any thoughts or has anyone else been succesful in replacing battery or where you may get installation guidlines. I know to send it back to Mio would probably cost a fortune.

Any thoughts much appreciatted Cheers Len

Hi,
Replacing the battery is easy, just need to be careful, BUT as you will see from my recent post I lost my GPS signal, and can't get it back. Be very very careful with the aerial connection.
