I haven't been on here for awhile so if I'm repeating a post I apologize.MOCO had a new NIM produced to replace the current one that is causing false triggering.The part number is the same as the old one with 11A at the end.One of the Harley Forum members recieved one and said it fixed all the problems except for the low xm volume on the 665 zumo roadtech gps.After months of runarounds I called the roadtech rep at Garmin and was told they never heard of a volume problem.I'm not sure but I think someone was lieing to me,more runaround !!!!

New NIM on backorder till July 11th and according to my dealer it is a good part number.

83537 - 11A  here is the part number I am found on another forum.....This part number is not on line for the Harley dealers yet I guess they have to call Harley direct because the data base has not been updated

Wondering if the 2011.5 SEUC has this newer NIM? I didn't try to hook up a cellphone...heck I had to break out the owners manual to figure out why the GPS directions went silent depending on the speaker switch.  Worked pretty well after that. Awesome info here Gents and thanks!

from what I tested on a late 2011 cvo ultra 1 week old just the other day it had all the same problems as my 76000024 part number. I dont know what the issue is but lowering the media volume and all this is not a fix as we all know.... this new part 11a will be an interesting test we shall see ...good luck

I just recieved my new NIM and going to install it this weekend.I'm glad to hear it fixed all the problems,I can't wait to try it.I also got a Boostaroo and hooked it up .It was like night and day,I can't even turn the volume all the way up for fear of blowing out a speaker ,plenty of xm volume now.I asked Garmin about the problem and the Boostaroo and I was told they know there is a problem but to wait till they could find a fix.After 7 months of wrong wiring directions and bad nims and reps telling me they didn't know of any problems I think I can finally see the end,hopefully!!

I thought the Boost-a-Roo was a headphone amplifying device?

Are you using it through the fairing speakers? If so, please describe how you are doing so.

Thanks

you are correct its for the nav 8mm plug that plugs in the Nav unit that will be inside the fairing so anything that comes out of the zumo will be 4 time louder now that  will help the media volume that goes into the radio....the zumo 665 has xm in the Nav the zumo 660 doesnt so basically all zumos I believe had some kind of volume issues when interacting with the radio....I will be getting the amp and installing it in the next day or so.....I am also waiting for the new 11a nim modulator

I have a Zumo 660, which does not have the built in XM radio.

However, I have the HD XM radio module and the HD Navigation Interface module under the fairing (the NIM will gives commands through the fairing speakers).

My XM reception is considerably lower than the other audio sources (CD, FM, etc.).

Is it possible for me to use the Boost-a-Roo with my set up to amplify the volume of the XM signal?

Thanks

[limited1432]

well I just installed the boostaru today and it cranks

[limited1432]

From what I have seen the 660 zumo is mp3 and Nav only no weather doppler either and no xm...If you have a cvo the xm will show on the display of your radio and that is a box in the faring like your car...The zumo 6 6 5 has xm I dont have the box in the faring I work over the AUX port
So the boosta roo will work for your mp3 and nav volume but not for your XM because your xm comes out the box to the radio...
whats nice about the 660 you dont have to have your Nav unit on the bike all the time to get your xm...I do.... 

[Bustin-out]

Based on the fact that you have to put batteries in the boostaroo, I guess you have installed it outside the fairing.

[limited1432]

No battery  the kit comes with the a 12 volt plug which I cut off and wired in direct to the cigar lighter in the back ...this is the new kit I guess it used a battery on previous models...so its in the faring...

Wondering if bissjim ever worked out the problem to make the non-Harley zumo 660 work with the NIM?

I talked to Jim about this issue today.
It can be done but is very expensive.
His recommendation was to sell the 660 and buy a Road Tech 660.
