Who out there has Removed their Zumo mount and wiring? Use it for USB/phone?

[philbtv]

I have a new to me 2014 RT with 10K miles. The Zumo GPS is old and outdated. Who out there in the Spyder-verse has removed their Zumo mount and wiring? Have any of you used the existing wiring to feed a USB/phone power cable? Give me your advice and experiences.
Thanks

I removed my Zumo XT and now use a Carpuride 702 Carplay unit, and now I have Waze and other GPS mapping as well as complete control of my cell phone for music, calls and others

Would powering with a USB cable alone keep a zumo charged?

I am just thinking about powering my iPhone. I've got a couple of good riding route apps, so I am good with the phone.

My Zumo 665 works great for the phone, I just haven't been able to get the XM working like it used to on my 2012. Something about the harness. There's a pigtail I put on the radio to allow it to use the Sena dual doohickey in the back that BRP sold, works with both helmets and I have an old iPod 30pin that shows playlists and tracks. But I still wish I could find someone who could get my XM working. That Carpuride looks nice but it's a job taking the Zumo Stand out. Entails removing all the tupperware and then getting to the wire and then loosening the 4 hd allens holding it in.

Is there a current Zumo replacement GPS?

I also just bought a 2014 RT. Seller couldn't find the GPS and said they could never get it to work anyway.

I removed the Zumo mount and replaced it with a Ram mount for my phone.
