| I purchased a 2720 from a guy that had them as surplus from the Superbowl. It was hardly used and I ended up purchasing it for $200.00 so your price seems about right. |

| Just bought one new online for 263.00. That was with 2 day shipping. Did the install last night. Going to test it this morning. Looks great on the bike. Now all I need is the Victory decal that goes on it to look like a dealer install. I like the fact I'll be able to use it in the truck also. |

| Question here:
Since you guys are buying a strictly Garmin product, not Garmin produced for Victory, where did you get the cable to integrate the GPS unit into the Vision's audio system? I can't use the AUX feature as I have my iPod (with the iPod cable) hooked up to that connection. |

Evergreen, CO | The kit you buy from Victory contains both the mounting block that mounts to your console for the 2720 to mount to, as well as the necessary wiring harness to connect to the 2720 to provide both power and the interface with the stereo system (audio directions through your Vision speakers) on the motorcycle. From what I understand, the newer 2820 mounts and interfaces identically, and provides the capability for a memory card to hold MP3 tunes, pictures, etc., as well as bluetooth capability if you have bluetooth intercom in your helmets, or wish to pair it with a bluetooth cell phone. The 2820 is quite a bit more expensive (around 2X), so unless these features are really attractive to you, the newer model may not be worth the extra price of admission. |

So, if I just purchase the mounting kit I will get the cable, is that what you are saying here? I have a Zumo 550 that I want to hook up, I can handle changing plugs to the kit cable for both power and audio, I just need to get the cable. My dealer thought the cable only came when you bought the complete GPS unit from Victory. I plan on using the chrome RAM mounting system to give me the adjustability that I prefer, with the install done in the same fashion as the pictures that were posted of the RAM system in the gallery. |
