[Kenwood] Kenwood redefines Warranty

[Gary R.]

Over this past week I learned that kenwood is now supplying dealers with
TM-D700A mobiles with upgraded firmware. The upgrade, according to
Kenwood, enables the transceiver to communicate with the latest Garmin
GPS's. My TM-D700A is only a few months old and does not have this
upgraded firmware so, I asked for the details and learned that they
(Kenwood) want $65 to flash in the upgrade as a "special" comm cable is
required. I explained that my radio is but a few months old but they
told me too bad. So if you want to use your TM-D700A with your new
Garmin GPS bend over 'cause they ain't gonna give it to ya under
warranty. I disagree with that, how about other TM-D700A owners?
