VA | Do a search, but I think I remember someone else saying they got the zumo and it did work. Just do a search for GPS though, and you'll see some posts. | |

Evergreen, CO | For "seamless" interfacing with the Vision, you will need to either buy the StreetPilot 2720 or 2820. I understand there is also a 2730 model, but not sure if that works 100%. Nuvi is not waterproof, I don't believe, so I would place those at the bottom of the list. The mount that Victory sells fits the 2720/2820. Others on here have made a Zumo work, with an aftermarket mount, but still I believe there are a few features that do not completely interface with the Victory sound system for announcing turns. I have also heard that Victory is working on updating the interface so the Zumo will completely work with the Vision, but have not heard any updates lately on how that is going or when it might be available.
The main additional features of the 2820 over the 2720 is the bluetooth capability and the addition of a memory card to load mp3 songs, pictures, etc onto. If neither of those are important to you, go with the 2720, as it is less than 1/2 of the 2820 price wise.
Hope this helps.

Carrollton, TX | Well Fergy and I did some testing on the Garmin Zumo 550's we have on our Vision's and we got the audio from GPS to work through the stereo system by using a 3.5mm stereo jack coming out of the Zumo 550 and splicing the other ends to the audio wires off the wiring harness meant for the 2720 GPS. It will be a mono signal with both the left and right channel combined but it works great. We also used the Bluetooth option of the Zumo 550 to connect to our cell phones and you can hear the conversation through the sound system also. We are waiting for a cable we ordered to connect the microphone jack of the Zumo 550 to the mic wire of the wiring harness so our mic on our helmets will work with the cell phone connected via Bluetooth on the Zumo 550. I will let you know how well it works within the next couple of days. The bottom line is that the Zumo 550 works just as well connected to the sound system as the 2720 or the 2820 but with a lot more functionality. This makes the Zumo 550 a no brainer in my opinion. Arizona Victory sells a mounting bracket for the Zumo 550 that works really great. | |

Under the Rule of Jedi - Masshole | Zumo 550 here. No need to cut and splice. Just go to Radio Shack, or any other eletronic supply place and get a 3.5mm extention cord. Plug it into the Zumo, run the wire to the stock 3.5mm plug in the left compartment. I have over 500 songs loaded onto my 4gig card, plays in full stereo, and if you are using it for directions, it cuts in over the speakers.
More pluses with the Zumo which is made for a bike, is that it is waterproof, comes with a car mount so you can use it there, is an mp3 player, has a settable fuel gage that pops up when you are low on fuel and shows you the nearest gas stations.
If you need any more info, give a holler. | |
