Looking for personal expierences with the 660, I just bought one and have had some difficulty’s with it. Also was told that line has been discontinued? Also does yours have the latest software update 3.90. Thanks

Went to the garmin website and there support center, unable to find instructions on doing a hard reset. Also down loaded the 660 manual. Could not find information on hard reset in either source. How did you do a hard reset? Thanks

I. Sorry, I really don't remember. I looked for the email from Garmin, but it was too long ago. I would call or email Garmin, they were pretty helpful.

As far as discontinued, probably true. They obsolete stuff almost as fast as they can ship it out the door.

Done all that, have a problem with the propane warning, cannot inhibit the warning. Thus asking for real life experience. Thanks

I had the propane warning that wouldn't turn off. Very annoying! Called Garmin, they suggested updating the maps and everything was fine.

Done that updated twice still no joy.

I've had a Garmin RV 660LMT for a couple of years and have never had a false propane warning of any sort.

Under Map and Vehicle preferences, you can select Audible Cautions and Advisories and de-select the Shut Off Propane setting.

I'm using the 2018.3 map and 3.90 firmware.

I have a 760 and it does not have a propane warning for tunnels and bridges.

Ok. Now that we know the problem area. Some functions and warnings can't be disabled. Like making settings adjustments while in motion. It's usually model specific. You might want to send Garmin product support a note and ask them, while you're waiting for another 660lmt owner to respond.
Sorry, couldn't be more help.
