This Gamin 330c is from the stone age of GPS! The charging wire plugs into the cradle & not the unit itself so I rely on the unit's battery when on the bike(lasts about 7 hours of non stop use) sense the "Ram Mount" motorcycle mount does not take the wiring! Bring the original cradle & charge it overnight when on vacations.

No pictures really necessary for mine. My Zumo is on a Ram-mount on the handlebars and is wired to the "acc" power outlet under the seat. When I take my mp3 player, I turn it on "shuffle", stick it inside a cheap foam drink coozie and throw it into the glove box. The audio cable runs from the glove box to the aux jack on the radio.

I have a Zumo 450, I used the HD Fairing mount kit, wired it under the fairing. No pictures really needed, just followed their directions.

Gps is mounted in a Ram mount Aqua box on the left handgrip area and plugged into the cigarette lighter.
Ipod is connected to the Aux jack and in my right windshield bag on shuffle.

Zumo 550 on a RAM mount, power's wired to the cigarette lighter, I have a 6' cable run through the fairing to the aux in on the stereo. I have another RAM mount right next to it for my iPhone. I have a cigarette lighter charger for it, and use the same audio cable.

I use a Ram mount with two different mounts, one for my GPS and another for my iPod.

Kuryakyn fuel door mount for the 665 "wireless."

Ipod hidden in the glovebox running on the Ipod interface.

Take a look at my vidoe to see more.

Any questions after you watch it?

On my '09 Ultra the cig lighter wouldn't power anything except a lighter so I replaced it with the accessory 12v that Harley sells; perfect replacement for the lighter; you remove the outer fairing and unscrew it. I have my Garmin on a RAM mount and plug it into the now replaced lighter socket. I don't use an I-Pod but I do have my Blackberry on the bike. I use another RAM mount for that and if it needs power I run a USB to a lighter socket plug. I got both RAM mounts from www.mountguys.com
