I have a 2013 CVO Ultra, I know you can link the zumo and your cell phone.  However when I get a incoming call I cant hear them or they cant hear me?  It there a setting I should be changing?

Additionally, is there a way to connect the cell phone via zumo and talk using the headset/intercomm system?

Thanks.

All the information you need to fix this is on this site:

Thanks, I was hoping there was just a setting I was missing, instead of having to purchase something.

U would think it should work automatically after paying 40K for a bike!

you are a new H-D customer for shure 

(no offense intended, but such expectations vaned long ago ...)

lol new to Harley! Its called sarcasm!

Actually if you fork over more $$$ to Harley for a new 2014 it does.

They sure are going to cut into my sales. I will wait and see what the riders of the new 2014 want and maybe come up with some thing new. I have learned that no matter what you have you are always looking for some thing more.

Maybe an interface so you could rig the Garmin 665 up.

Maybe I am not understanding what you trying to do. If you just want to be able to make and take phone calls via the GPS phone interface using your helmet intercom system then you need a helmet interface. The HD Bomm is a helmet interface which allows you to do this.

If you still have questions about this or how the systems work on your bike you can always give me a call and I will attempt to explain it further.

No No No...Got the BOMM on my 2010 and it performs FLAWLESSLY btw...was referencing the 2014's GPS limitations and lack of AUX in port.  Really love the 665, and use the heck out of it.  Those issues are a big part of my fence sitting regards the 2014, those and the CAN bus system and adding electrical goodies, etc.

Connect the 665 via bluetooth the the HD head, and don't worry about wires...

But I think only the phone will go Bluetooth, not MP3's, Garmin voice, and XM radar etc.

Spec sheet say phone/audio.  I don't know why it wouldn't connect.  those are two popular BT profiles.  Maybe we can have someone at a dealer confirm?

Being able to Bluetooth the Garmin GPS to the new 2014 radio is a question I see a lot. No one has reported as to weather or not it can be done. Some body out there must have a 2014 and a Garmin, why not try it and report back as to weather or not it does and how the head unit treats the connection.

Are Bluetooth connected devices treated as priority inputs?

Can you prioritize functions?

Got this from the HDF forum from the person that started testing the new 2014 GPS and it capabilities. He just answered the question of weather or not you can link the Garmin to the 2014 via Bluetooth.


"Well, it's even worse than I first thought.

My salesman called me this morning to say they had a couple of new colors arrive, so I zipped up this afternoon and used the opportunity to play some more with the 6.5 and the gps.  Even took my zumo 665 with me to see if Bluetooth might be the answer, as well as a memory stick with 2 custom POI files and 1 route (the same 160 mile route that failed earlier).

I keep several POI files on my zumo (National Parks, Diners/Dives & Drive-ins, Colorado Mountain Passes) and wanted to know how the 6.5 would handle multiple categories like these.  Short answer, it doesn't.  I have 3,000 POI's loaded in my zumo, the 6.5 reported "memory full" at only 200.

I then tried to upload the single 160 mile route to test that a little further.  Lo and behold, the 6.5 reported "memory full" immediately.  Apparently, the HD unit uses the same memory for any and all uploads and it won't hold much - the 200 POIs filled it and wouldn't accept anything else.  It also will not access a USB stick for working memory, only to upload files, so you can't augment internal storage at all.

For comparison, I routinely have 3,000 POIs and 20 500+ mile routes loaded on my zumo at any one time.  The HD unit choked on 200 POIs and a single 160 mile route.

OK, time to try pairing via Bluetooth and see if there is a work-around to use a handlebar mounted unit.  The zumo and the 6.5 paired on the first bike but a customer wanted to demo the bike before we could see if it would successfully stream gps directions or mp3's.  Moved to 2nd bike to continue playing, but we stopped trying after 10 failed pairing attempts.  So it doesn't look like HD's Bluetooth implementation is stable enough to rely on."
