Does anyone have a picture of the charging wires going into the bar? My dealer wants to help me install it that way but has never done it before but says that if they can get a pic of it done, they can do it. any help?
I can show you a photo (not right now though) of it, but it's not really going to show the dealer anything unless I take the mount off the bar, and I don't want to do that just to get a photo. If you will have your dealer look up the 2011 FLTRUSE GPS mount, it will show the parts needed to do the install, including the NIM (navigation interface module) IF you get the Roadtech 660/665 and NOT the Garmin 660/665...The NIM only works with the Roadtech versions. The Garmin versions will work, but the only way to get audible directions is to run a stereo patch cable to the AUX input on the front of the radio (there is a way to have a AUX input on the back of the radio too, but it requires pulling the radio and doing a small modification) and have the radio set to AUX when you want to hear the prompts. With the NIM and the Roadtech, the prompts override the radio, no matter if it's on XM, AM, FM, CD, or Ipod.
The exploded diagram and parts list are in the Suplemental Parts Manual for the 2011 FLTRUSE...also shown in the Supplemental Service Manual. The cable harness from the cradle must come from Garmin, according to the manuals. If they can't figure it out, I can scan the manual pages, but it will be tomorrow before I can get to it.
Before you go any further, you should probably decide: Do you want the GPS to give voice prompts through the radio, regardless of source; Do you care about/want XM radio, or XM radio PLUS weather radar. Those two things will determine what GPS to purchase, the 660 or the 665. You can have XM radio either way, but with the Roadtech 660, you'll have to purchase the HD HK XM module that piggybacks onto the head unit, OR you can get the Roadtech 665, but you'll have to figure out how to mount the XM antenna, and it won't be pretty. The cleanest install if you want radio interruption is: Handlebar mount kit for the 2011 SERGU, NIM module, and Roadtech 660. If you want XM too, the cleanest way is with the HD XM module.
