    Garmin Zumo Hook Up

    So I've got me the new bike and first things first, the hook up of the GPS.
    I want to hear it through the standard F6B system as my phone calls also come through it in and out and seem to think it also has a couple of 1000 songs in it.
    Once up and running I can also tap into it for my UHF Radio ?
    Power supply hookup will also help
    Many thanks in advance
    And please keep it simple as I do know how light switches work but that's about it

    Terry, I hooked my Zumo 660 to the left side of my handlebar. The Zumo comes with a motorcycle mount kit and charging base to hook up to the battery. So I didn't have to run the power line under the tank, I ran the line under the accessory box and tapped into the 12V line. If you use this method, try to obtain a splitter so you can disconnect it if you need to.

    Thanks mate, Perfect.
    It will be mounted on a Dash with the UHF, Spot and Tire Pressure thingy and the chocolate. It will run through the Autocom.
    Thanks heaps

    You can also tap the power on the power outlet wire under the left glovebox and use the audio plug in the glovebox to get the audio into the bike audio system.

    I use the Garmin 665. The motorcycle base I use has a output cable that I plug in to to the AUX cable under the glove box. I then can select AUX to listen to directions or music.

    I'm running an Autocom so my GPS and UHF will run through that. Autocom supply a Goldwing interface, part number 2275 so you can hear the Goldwing/F6B radio through the Autocm.

    Here in the U.S., J&M Audio offers a device that does what the Autocom does and possibly more. See here:

    As you can see, this is a Bluetooth Integration Terminal that connects multiple devices both wired and wireless. I have this unit installed and it works flawlessly. Currently, I am integrating with my Galaxy S4 Smartphone, Zumo 665, Escort radar detector, and Sirius satellite radio. All of this plays through the OEM radio system. A nice feature is being able to take and receive phone calls on-the-go. Any info or warning signals from my Zumo or Escort automatically override whatever is currently playing. The unit is fairly pricey new but I got lucky and bought a used one on this forum.

    looks good but My UHF doesn't have Bluetooth ? I think the Autocom/Golwing interface is $100. I think to hook it up you just tap the Goldwings speakers and it runs an on Off switch. Like on is for the Radio Goldwing autocom and off will be for my Autocom. Both Goldwing stuff and my Autocom both run through my helmet speakers just one at a time, I think ?????
