The OEM aux audio jack plugs into the Zumo's Audio input, and the antenna tuner is attached to the underside of the lid with Velcro.
    I also use a Sena Bluetooth system for intercom and music when the wife is aboard, when solo I can listen either via the Sena, or turn it off and the music automatically switches to the dash speakers. All in all I am very happy with the setup, and as the Zumo is waterproof I am not worried about rain. For those rare times when there is no sat signal I have a USB thumb drive with a few thousand songs plugged into the USB port.
    When you say the Zumo's audio input, I take it your talking the 2.5mm mic jack. In which case you would need a 3.5mm female to 2.5mm male adapter.

    John, that should have read ' The Zumo's Audio OUTPUT' not using the mic plug for anything.

    After reading the manual again and the paper that came with the gps, I figured that out.
    Me and instructions don't always get along.
    It's still not possible to get the radio to your helmet using the Bluetooth.
