Upgrading Garmin 742XSV PLUS to 8610

Post by Caruso0644 »

Hello,

Purchasing an R8 and it has the 742XSV PLUS and I’d really like the 8610 setup. Has anyone ever upgraded this after the fact?

I’m sure it can be done but I think you’ll need money (the 8610 is quite a bit more than the 742 series), plus you’ll need a different console surround. Finally, the 8610 will need Cobalt programming to integrate. I’d start with the dealer. Good luck!
