Some local governments prohibit or restrict the use of suction mounts on the windshield or windows of a motor vehicle. Check with local authorities and obey all applicable laws and regulations.
Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options are available. Contact Garmin International, Inc. 1200 E. 151st Street, Olathe, KS 66062 USA or e-mail "harley-davidson@garmin.com".
If desired, the Zumo suction mount (6) can be attached to the vehicle's dashboard by first installing the dashboard disc (8) to the vehicle (consider the disc installation permanent, as the adhesive is extremely difficult to remove). The following notes and instructions apply; just replace the word "windshield" with "dashboard disc".
Make certain the installed mount does not block the vehicle operator's view of driving conditions.
Make certain the Zumo has a clear view of the sky and is not shielded by metal objects.
Make certain the cable path does not interfere with the operation of vehicle controls and safety equipment.
Do not mount over airbag panels or in front of an airbag field of deployment.
An optional external remote antenna (Garmin part number GA 27C) may be needed when operating the unit in a vehicle with a coated windshield or an in-screen heating system which can block the GPS signals. Contact Garmin International, Inc. 1200 E. 151st Street, Olathe, KS 66062 USA or e-mail "harley-davidson@garmin.com".
If a remote antenna IS NOT being used, be certain to select a location where the Zumo has a relatively unobstructed view of the sky.
Connecting the Adapter to the Vehicle Power Source
The Zumo's suction mount bracket includes a power cable (9) with a 12/24V DC adapter. This becomes the Zumo's power source when mounted in a motor vehicle.
Plug the adapter into an available 12/24V DC power receptacle (cigarette lighter or power point) in the vehicle. Use care when routing the cable to verify that it does not interfere with vehicle operation in any way.
Connecting the Antenna
The Zumo 665 includes an XM antenna. This antenna can be plugged into the back of the auto mount or into the harness of the motorcycle cradle. See the Zumo owner's manual for more information on the XM antenna.
On FLHT models the antenna can be positioned on top of the radio, under the fairing using the double sided tape provided in the kit.
On FLTR models the antenna can be positioned under the fairing using antenna mount kit 76000016.
With the additional purchase of a magnetic mounted pouch, the antenna can be mounted anywhere on a metal surface (fuel tank, fender, etc.).
