No music out on 665

[Lamonster]

I got my XM with weather to kick in and I can hear it fine through the gps speaker if I don't plug it in to the RT's harness. I don't have any music playing but I can hear map commands loud and clear. I have it set to AUX and have it playing through the external speakers but still no music. So what am I doing wrong here? pps::helpsmilie:

look @ the seperate volume settings for the music and the voice instructions. The music volume could be muted.

 

[coz]

wow

i've never heard you ask us a technical question before. somebody better take your temperature. :yikes:

:agree: This would be my first guess. On my Zumo 50, there is a page where you have separate volume controls for Navigation, XM & Phone. Take a look there.

 

[Lamonster]

I looked at that and they are all turned up.

go to media player and press the channel up & down as well as volume up & down and mute buttons. I find sometimes I have to press one of those buttons to activate the radio

I've pushed every button 50 times. It's activated it just won't play through the RT

You can hear music through the speaker of the garmin?

 

[Spyderjohn]

The 2012 has bluetooth? could this be interfering?

With the harness disconnected u should be able to hear the music through the gps speaker. If u do , then the problem is in the Spyder or harness

Bluetooth is an option.

Your not trying XM Music while inside your garage, right?

I got my XM with weather to kick in and I can hear it fine through the gps speaker if I don't plug it in to the RT's harness. I don't have any music playing but I can hear map commands loud and clear. I have it set to AUX and have it playing through the external speakers but still no music.

Not trying to insult your intellegence here, but thought I'd ask just to be clear. On our 665, we can't pick up the satelites for music while in our garage, so no reception, hense no sound. Doubt this is your issue, just trying to help tho.

Our 1st Zumo (which was a refurbished unit) ended up still being faulty. After we had it about a month, started having numerous issues with it. Called Garmin, did the Updates like they suggested, & when that still didn't work, had to send them our original unit for another refurbished replacement unit & ever since we got this one, its worked like a charm. Could be that your unit may be faulty as well :dontknow: Wish I had a solid answer for you :banghead:

Just left you a voice mail on a couple of suggestions.

 

[MarkLawson]

Sound like you've eliminated the RT harness & the RT itself. Can you test the output on another vehicle to see if the problem persists? If it does, the next call might be to Garmin Support, because it may be that the audio out is only working for the navigation.

 

[Lamonster]

I don't know what's up with this but for now I may just not connect it to the RT audio and use the 3.5 jack for the earbuds because that works fine.

If the "Media" volume on the 665 is turned up like you said and we know it is not the harness - because we can hear nav info thru the bike speakers - I'm starting to think it might just be an internal issue with the media output side of the 665.

Can you hear other media on the 665 (ie. saved music files or an audio book) with the audio adapter plugged in?
