Zumo !!

[G Man]

Just wired in my Zumo sat nav connected it into the Autocom system, so now I can have music, SATNAV and talk to my buddies. I decided not to go for the Bluetooth phone option as I need a place where they is no phone and the bike is it !!

now I got the zumo 550, but don't have a bluetooth headset. if I wire myzumo in like you what headset would I need to hook this all up?

Just got my 550 a couple of days ago. Haven't used it in anger yet, but from playing with it and exploring the features in the house and the MapSource software I'm pretty impressed.

Looking forward to downloading some routes from the experienced tourers over at advrider.com

The Tomtom rider comes with a Scala Bluetooth headset (left ear only but good enough for listening to directions), this means lots of people end up with them that don't want them and they sell them on again on e-bay. eg http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Scala-Rider-Bluetooth-headse...
There's probably cheaper options but they work very well. Only downside is you can't charge the unit off the bike, however the battery easily lasts all day.

I have the Zumo 550 and use the Starcom Zumo wired system direct to the helmet which works fine.

Best two sites I have seen for Zumo info is www.ukgser.com and www.zumoforums.com [you need to register for the site (free)]. Both give a load of useful advise

The autocom helmet speakers !!

Have you tried it while the bike is running?

I bought the very expensive, gold plated, fabricated-by-vigins Autocom cables to connect my Zumo to my Autocom (includes ground-loop isolator) but I still get too much interference from the ignition system.

I don't bother with the sound any more. I might try the (even more expensive!) Autocom bluetooth adaptor though.

Yep this morning, no problems I used cable 1314 ( I think ) I have Autocom Pro AVI, have you been on the zumo forum , lots of good info

[rsv gone!]

I have the same setup as you and bought that cable on info from the Zumo forum but was still getting interference. There aren't too many cable routes past my engine, though.

Can you hear all that with earplugs in?

The music is the same volume as bike to bike communication, Autocom has an ear plug compensation mode. The TTS voice there is a fix to raise the volume
