I am due to get my 2012 FLHXSE3 Street Glide this week. 

In working with the dealer I have been trying to understand what cable I need to mount a Zumo GPS.   

At first they recommended the Interface Module #76000024.  But then I noticed it specifically says this does not work with the CVO Street Glide and now the dealer tells me I need to get a bluetooth headset.  I hate headsets.

I guess the questions are:
- Is there a cable to adapt this?
- If not, does the Aux port on the radio still exist?

I searched the forums and found a discussion on the 6B connector for the 2011.  Has anyone looked at this for the 2012?

Thanks for your help.

I am in a similar situation in that I have a Garmin 660 rather than a Garmin Road Tech 660.
What I have arranged with the Dealership is to fit a clutch control mounted Zumo bracket and wire that up to the bike battery using the Garmin supplied cable that comes with the Garmin supplied motorcycle mount. That cable has a load of other plugs / sockets on it (headphones, mike, traffic etc) and they will be hopefully sited under the seat. Unfortunately the cable can not be internally run inside the bars as its way to bulky.
I presently use the 660 Bluetooth capabilty streaming to my custom made ear plugs with built in speakers. These ear buds plug into a small bluetooth receiver I have in my jacket. the 660 streams info to the receiver via blue tooth and the speakers in my ears get the instructions.
What i will do with the system when i get delivery of the bike in November, is to plug the blue tooth receiver into the front panel Auxilliary input of the head unit using a small mini headphne male / male cable. The bluetooth receiver can go into a screen pouch pocket or somehere, whatever. So when the 660 streams information it will play back through the bluetooth receiver connected to the head unit as long as it is switched to Aux. If I want tunes I just go back to radio or ipod and use the GPS screen display to navigate by. I only use the GPS voice instructions once I get into the area I am not sure about. For general traveling I forget the voice part and just use the 660's dispaly screen.
Obviously the bluetooth receiver would have to be charged occasionally. The receiver I use is tiny but powerful, made by Jabra model number BT3030
Make sense?
Ride safe.

I'm sure that there are a couple people on here that could tell you how to do the 6b connector. I didn't. The NIM Has 6 wires that need to be connected. 2 to the radio. A power and a ground, and 2 CAN wires. I found it easier to just tap the 4 wires at the main harness and run the other two to the radio. IF it helps I can take a pic or two when I take my fairing off.... 

The AUX port is still on the radio, if you want the rear mounted AUX for the GPS you still need to add that though.

I just picked up my 2012 FLX CVO Street Glide this week and I had a Garmin 660 installed on the dash pad.  You are correct, they do not make a harness for this model but my dealer was able to order all the mounting parts separately and he took these parts and made a wiring harness.  It works through the speakers when giving directions.  It looks clean and works fantastic.  If you need his advice on how to make this work and what parts to order his name is Jeff in the parts dept at Toledo Harley Davidson phone# 419-843-7892. He could probably fax you the part list and give you directions on how to alter the harness to help your mechanic set it up for you.  Good luck!

Mine is mounted on my dash, and it uses the 3.5 mm jack on the head unit.

Thanks for the great replies
- I am glad that at a minimum I can use the aux port on the front of the radio like I did with my 08 Ultra.
- My dealer is checking again based on the info above, but it does seem I just need to add that 6B connector (why would the factory leave it off?) Seems crazy.

Thanks again.  I will advice as I learn more.
