bought a zumo 665 not the harley branded wired it to my 2014 streetglide. wired and all works tried bluetooth xm to bike and it works but volume cant be heard on high way and when I switch to fm you can hear a huge difference in volume. zumo is clearly alot lower..... iphone can bluetooth to bike no prob with volume. but ist is also newer ...CAN ANYONE ENLIGHTEN ME? before i go spend cash for aux cable and find no change or has someone done this and it corrected it. volume is 100 on zummo 665

thanks in advance

 

How did you connect the output of the Garmin to the input on the radio? When you say you can't hear the XM, are you trying to hear it through the tiny GPS speaker? On the pre-Rushmore bikes you would connect the output from the GPS to the Aux input on the front of the radio.

 

You might sign in on this forum about Zumo gps ( http://www.zumoforums.com/index.php?action=forum ) called Zumoforums, I've gotten a lot of help from them with my Zumo 665 HD version.

it is wired with cradle for power and antenna.... no aux input on my 2014
i connect it via bluetooth to harley radio but the volume is low even thought its at 100 %
before i spend money on flashing radio and aux input was trying to see if another member has had this issue and if so did they do aux input to radio and did it improve ability to hear the xm radio thanks for the replies and will check out zumo forum also

anyone who can offer input much thanks

 

Not sure but try this.

Play the XM radio or use the Zumo MP3 player. While it is playing, use the toggle button on turn the vol up.

All vol controls seem to be different - so, while the FM vol is up, the Zumo vol may not be up.

 

It is known to have a lower volume output using XM.

But check your volume settings. There are two places to check.
These are generic instructions:
Correcting low volume on zumo devices
If you are having trouble hearing the sound coming from the device, you will first want to make sure that the volume or master volume is set to an audible level. Before you can check the volume, you must connect your device to a powered mount or headset.

To check the Volume or Master Volume:

Touch the Volume icon on the Where To? View Map screen
Confirm that the volume is set to the desired level and it is not muted
If the master volume is turned up and the volume is still low, check the volume levels within the mixer to make sure they are set to an audible level.

To view the device's volume:

Touch the Volume icon
Confirm volume level for master volume
Select Mixer1
Some devices require you to touch the wrench icon to get to the audio mixer selections
Confirm the desired volume for Navigation, Media, Phone, and/or Proximity Alerts
Touch and hold the back button
The volume level should now be set to the desired level.

1The zumo 220, zumo 350, and zumo 390 will not have a mixer, only master volume.

 

ill double check that thanks about to run out.. i have set master volume on gps etc.

 

Look for the button labeled "Mixer" on the GPS. The volume levels can be set differently.

 

I bought a product that boosts the Zumo's volume. Check the link for the Zumo forum early on in the thread. That's where I found it.

 

Something else to consider is this part. I use it, and it's great. You don't have to route it to the glove box. I plug it right into my GPS harness.
