Is the garmin zumo 665 a direct replacement for the zumo 660 installed on the 2014 RTL? I am looking to add the SirusXm capability to my Spyder.
See my previous posts on this. The outer part of the cradle needs to be changed to a 665 cradle face. Very easy. Two small boards and the mini screws on the back of the cradle.
Plug and play the 665 will not work for XM, WX etc. with the 660 cradle face. (period) You will need the XM 40 antennae plugged into the harness.

So simply replace the cradle with the one for the 665 and install the GXM 40 antenna? Really? Which I'd known, I swapped out the entire cradle and wire harness then plugged in the puck.
My 665 plugged right into the 660 cradle..It seems it will not work with the XM feature tho..
Yup snaps right in but will not play XM even after you plug in the puck, needs a complete cradle change to a 665 harness assembly and the puck or apparently just the electrical interface in the cradle and the puck. The puck is actually the radio.

I should have replaced the harness when I had the bike all torn down over the winter..Oh well maybe next winter the harness will get replaced..
