Most reliable unlock method?

Hi folks. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows which is the most reliable method to unlock a Garminfone? A quick Google search reveals that most attempts (that I've seen anyway) are unsuccessful.

Is the Garminfone unlockable at all? Has anyone successfully unlocked theirs?

unlock by imei code

I am on my 3rd Garminfone and have unlocked each by IMEI code. They take quite a while to come in, 14-21 days though.




I sold a spare Garminfone, then left my only remaining on a commercial flight by accident...upgraded to an HTC Vivid, but missed the GPS. So I bought another one for $40 on ebay that did not read SIM cards. Upgraded firmware to 2.1 and it works fine.
