Just bought a Harley zumo 660. There is nothing in the package that shows how to connect the wire harness. Any help? Also does anyone know if I can buy the cradle that bolts up to the 660 that I could run the lighter connection to? What came with it is the one for an auto suction cup and the one that has all the wires for the direct power for the bike. I'm trying to figure out if I can bolt it to a cradle that has no hard wires but a plug for the cig lighter

Harley does it again. Go back to the dealer and buy the mount; there are 2 one mounts for the bars and one for the fairing.

Just Harley’s way of saying thanks for spending more then you had too. The mounts should have the wiring instructions but I'm not sure about that part. Maybe Harley charges for that also.

You will end up paying about $200.00 more for the Harley version of the Zumo 660 then if you had just bought a Zumo 660.

I just love Harley when it comes to accessories.

If you purchase from Jenni at Tri-County Harley it cost $599.95. The handlebar mount that HD sells it not very appealing. I am using a Techmount.

I guess I will figure out the mount to use. Right now the issue is what all these wires are for.

Black = Negative 12
Red = Positive 12
Mini Stereo = stereo output for Aux Input on radio
Mono Input = Microphone
Mini USB = Traffic Reciever

Thanks Brad, so what do I do with the Mini USB, Mono Input and the Mini stero? Or do I take this to the dealer.

Mike

[DCFIREMANN]

I have one and used the fairing mount. I am very pleased with it. Very easy install!

The fairing mount was 39 bucks if I remember corrrectly.

If you want to purchase the antenna for traffic you plug the antenna into the USB port.

The 2.5mm mono input is for a microphone. If you want to pair the Zumo to your cell phone you can make and receive phone calls using your helmet mounted microphone. To do this you will need to purchase an interface unit such as the HD Bluetooth Bomm, CellSet by Kennedy or the J&M unit.

The stereo output is a 3.5mm and is used to connect the output of the Zumo to the AUX input port on the front of the bike's radio. You will need to buy a 3.5mm (1/8") Stereo extension cable for this.

In order to hear turn directions or a phone call you need to use the stereo extension cord or buy an FM modulator.

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the info Jim............I guess now I need to figure out what else to but. Any suggestions?

If you want to hear the turn directions from the Zumo you will need the extension cable or an FM modulator. The cable will only run you 5 to 10 bucks depending on what you buy and where. You can find them at Wal-Mart or Radio Shack.

If you don't want to make or receive a phone call then you don't need to buy any thing else. If you do then check the suggestions I listed out, they all have their benefits.

I have the 660 as it came from H-D  and it included the cable to hook up to the Aux. input on the radio.  Look in the box - I don't think they threw in something extra just for me.

YUP!

I forgot that HD throws that in.

wow, that all sounds like alot of crap just so you don't get lost.

Yea Larry I agree. It is very confusing to me anyway.

Actually I find that having a gps on board gives me the freedom to try out new roads and explore areas that I don't know.  I can head down any road that pleases me and ride all day.  When I've had enough adventure for the day, all I have to do is hit "home" and the gps will guide me there without worrying.   As Yogi Berra said.  "When you come to a fork in the road...take it".

cheers!

My thoughts exactly, now all I have to learn to program my own routes. There is a step by step procedure spelled out in the zumo forums. Just don't feel like frustrating myself just yet. I'll mess with that over the winter months......Fuzz

I'm further behind the curve than that. Hey Fuzz you going to MV?

Mike

[hdbrad03]

Kinda what I thought Rich. I should have a 660 delivered today. I was hoping someone in MV could have a short how to demonstration.

I have to agree with you on that.    The wife and I take roads we would not normally take. We have found many great roads that way and not being familiar with the side roads in the area it is a comfort    to know we can find out way back home with just a touch of the screen.

Love to but I'm out of vacation time. Maybe next year..............If AJ is going to be there he's pretty good at loading the routes. He'll probably have his lap top with him.......................Fuzz

Has anybody been using the MP3 feature on the 660? Is it loud enough at highway speed???

I assume your asking about playing music via the external speaker? Heard it ain't worth a crap at speed... but that shouldn't be a huge surpise given the size of the speaker.

I'm talking about playing MP3's through the radio Aux input

[SmileMaker]

It works fine depending on your pipes.

[RedDevil]

I'm talking about playing MP3's through the radio Aux input

If you can hear your radio when you're driving, you'll hear the MP3's from the Zumo as long as you're plugged into the Aux jack.  You're using the same amp and speakers, so there's no difference.

[Fired00d]

I'm talking about playing MP3's through the radio Aux input

Have you checked the volume setting on your Zumo for MP3's? If the 660 is like the 550 there is a volume setting for Navigation (announcements) and MP3's on the unit itself. If this setting is in the same place as it is on the 550 go "wrench" > "volume" and you should see a setting for "navigation" and "mp3/audible". I keep both of mine at 80%.

I was just asking because I had a Pioneer Inno XM receiver that I could not hear very well even with the internal volume control all the way up, so I was making sure this won't be the case again.

Ok, gotcha. You shouldn't have any problems w/the Zumo then.
