I have mine in hand and it works great in the truck. The 660 comes with a single cord permanently attached to the mount that splits a few feet from the mount. I had my last Garmin mounted to the bars and powered with the Cig outlet on the inner fairing (06 Ultra) which made it easy to pull everything off the bike when not using the GPS. I don't see that as an option yet. The GPS itself has worked flawlessly so far in the truck. Paired to my phone in a snap but I haven't added MP3's to it yet. I think we need a thread for a nice clean install for this thing. Let me know... Thanks!

I received mine yesterday and I've already installed it on the Ultra and I used it on a short trip today in the truck with the family.
I ran the power to the unused leads going to the HID off the headlight plug. Seemed the neatest way to run the wires. The new Zumo pigtail has 3 additional leads coming off it (for external speaker and some other stuff). I just coiled them up and hid everything behind the fairing.
So far I love this unit. Only problem I've had is the bluetooth cuts out on my phone after 5-10 minutes. It's done that on both the bike and the truck.
Loving the lane assist, the larger screen. The bike mount is very stable, no vibration at all (really amazing actually since this unit looks so large). In place of the rubber cap that covers the mounting terminals on the Zumo 550 there is a separate cap that snaps in to completely cover the opening on the 660. Seems very secure and waterproof. For some reason the speaker (which is now built into the GPS itself instead of the car mount like on the 550) doesn't seem as loud - but that could just be my unit.
Overall I am very satisfied with this unit!

The problem with using the vehicle mount on the scoot is that it is not at all secure. One good bump could probably send your zumo skidding down the street. I didn't want to hardwire mine either, and hide all the cords in the fairing, but it's lookin like that is how it has to be.
