Overview

The Garmin 010-12445-31 is a replacement microSD card door for the echoMAP CHIRP 9Xsv. It restores the small cover that closes over the chartplotter’s memory card slot, helping keep the card seated and shielding the opening from spray, salt residue, and everyday grime.

This is the kind of part you notice when it is missing. Without the door, the slot is exposed and the card can be easier to bump or dislodge when the boat is pounding, the helm is busy, or the unit gets wiped down after a run.

Key features

• Made to fit the microSD card door opening on Garmin echoMAP CHIRP 9Xsv units
• Closes over the memory card slot to keep the card secured during vibration and movement
• Helps reduce water splash and salt buildup around the card slot during normal helm use and washdowns
• Useful replacement when the original door is cracked, lost, or no longer closes cleanly

Compatibility and fit

Fits Garmin echoMAP CHIRP 9Xsv. Garmin uses different doors across the echoMAP lineup, so match the model on your unit before ordering, especially if you have a different screen size or a non-CHIRP variant.

Installation and setup

Replace the door with the unit powered off and the card slot area dry. Clean away salt and grit around the opening first so the new door can close properly, then confirm the door sits flush and stays closed before heading offshore.

Use cases on board

A good match for boaters who keep charts, software updates, screenshots, or sonar recordings on a microSD card and want the slot covered again after a door goes missing. It also makes sense to keep as a spare on boats where the helm sees frequent spray and routine wipe-downs.
