Zumo 660 on backorder until November?

[poolratt]

I ordered a Zumo 660(the one from BRP) off of ebay and the seller has come back to me and said he has checked all over and cannot get one until sometime in November. Are these that hard to get a hold of or do I get a refund and look elsewhere? What do you guys and gals think?

If I was buying a new GPS right now it would be the 665 :doorag:

Lamont, I think I read somewhere I can get the mount and harness seperate and then order the 665 seperatly?

 

[Lamonster]

I don't know if I would bother with the harness, you're not really gaining that much. Kewlmetal has a mount if you want to mount it on the bars like the BRP unit.

Lamont, Pardon my ignorance but don't I need to have the special plug on the harness to attach back behind the saddlebag so you can hear the GPS over the RT's speakers?

whats new with the 665 besides price and XM Radio? Plus looking at the 665 amazon low reviews it sounds like the XM part is buggy.

also yes if you have the CB/Comm system to tie it into the Spyder to hear thru speakers AND have it auto cut in over radio or audio input. you need the entertainment wiring harness to plug into in addition to the GPS adapter plug.

if you dont plan on listening to the radio or a second audio in source (ie mp3 player) then you can assuming you have the RTS or the audio input jack in trunk ... run a cable back to the input there.

GPS will not play over the RT speakers, even with all of thier wires/kits/comms set-up.

Just an oversight on BRP's part, in my opinion

huh? there are others that posted that they have got it to work... on the other thread. just need the entetainment harness, CB installed and of course FM Radio.

then buy harness plug for under passenger seat area and it has a mini audio male jack. extend that to the headphone audio out jack on the Garmin mount I think is where it is. and it works.

maybe they are hearing in their headsets and not on the speakers...

Mine plays through the speakers fine but it won't play through the BRP headset. It will play through my earbuds. Go figure :dontknow:

 

[Dochands]

I learned the hard way you need the 665 wiring harness installed not the 660s for the XM to work.

The BRP number is: #710002182
I'm waiting for mine as we speak. :2thumbs:

btw, I got my Zümo 660 from GPSciti.com within a week.

They are using all the Zummo 660s for the 2011 Special Edition Pearl White RTSs. :roflblack:
