Can the Zumo be pluged into the aux jack on the 09 head unit?  If so can you play mp3's and then when turns come up the unit speak the turn over the music?

I like the idea of the 660 but man thats alot of cash.  Need to makes sure it will do what I want before I drop the coin.

Since the 660's aren't out yet I can only speak about the 550's (more then likely the 660 will do the same) and you can plug them into the Aux jack on the head unit, select "Aux" in your radio, play MP3's that are on the SD card in your Zumo, and when navigational directions come on they will pause the MP3's and give directions.

While waiting to pick up my bike, i'm having them install the lit windshiels strip. I ordered the Zumo 550 power cable so they could wire in before delivery while I decide on the 660 or the 550. I saw a demo video ( don't remember where) that shows the 660 comes with some sort of combo power/audio multi cable. All sites, including Garmin do not list a motorcyle power cable as supplied, only an automotive cable. I'm wondering if this new unit is designedprimarily for auto use and motorcycling use as a secondary intention, and possibly maybe why the 550 remains essentially priced the same. Dilema now, go for the 550, or wait?

Wait!

  The Zumo 660 comes with a motorcycle power cord attached to the cradle unlike the 550. This makes it 100% waterproof and for those that use a wired headset you will also have a cable that can run under the tank to hook up your headphones instead of having it hang off the unit like the 550. Keep in mind the 660 is full stereo bluetooth not mono like the 550. There are many advances in the new unit however don't look for XM radio because it is not there.
  The 660 will be shipping around April 18th as it is seen now and some say maybe earlier.
  You can read all about it on the Zumo forums and if you join the forums they are offering a member discount which is a heck of a deal
  Here is the thread but you need to join just like you joined this forum to get the deal.

  If any of you have any questions please ask and I will usually answer them pretty fast. If you are trying to decide which one to get at this point and don't care about XM go with the new updated 660.

Crazy... I went to http://www.zumoforums.com/index.php?topic=8429.0 and they have to approve you as a member before you can enter the site. I hope I check out ok.

   This is normal and not a concern. It is to validate a legitiamte email address to avoid spammers. Look in your inbox and you will have it the same day. You will enjoy the site.  Especially if you are currently running a Zumo or plan to get one. I have been a member for several years and I cannot tell you how informative the site it.  Let me note there is a seperate Harley thread for installing and using on a Harley complete with pictures of install.

Great thank you

Darn, there went $650. anyone want to buy a 2 week old 450?

[azone14]

  You won't be sorry getting a 660
  For you that must have a Harley Road Tech unit (550) heres the latest scoop. I bet next year they go with the 660 in black

Me 2 Mark!  Still have a preorder in with tigergps.com for $799!  Guess I need to cancel that one!

[Dragon42]

Zumo Forums negotiated a price of $640, and a discount on Numaps (lifetime map updates).  It is a killer deal.  I had a 550 which was great.  This will be WAY better, unless you used your 550 for XM.  I didn't.  Can't wait for it to show up!

[49445CVO]

Not to be a pessimist but has anyone checked out the Zumo forum and read the Better Business Burrow posting on this company?  Not to knock them for giving the club such a great deal but I get  scared by bad reports.
