For power, I used the extra power supply that is available on the headlight wiring. The wires are easily identified and provide switched power for the GPS.

Not wishing to highjack your thread but how are the wires on the "headlight wiring" identified?

 

I also just purchased a H-D Road Tech zumo 660 and will be installing it on my 09 Road Glide. Reading the above posts could I get an explanation on the acronyms "NIM" and "NUOH". Also, the cradle wiring harness ends with the fused hot and ground wires however the other three leads that come off the harness -- what are they for??? Looking through the zumo owner's manual and quick start manual shows nothing. Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

I did not relocate the fuse. I left it all under the fairing. If a problem does come up, not to difficult to take the fairing off. Seemed easier that relocating the fuse.

 

I installed the HD Road Tech with the NIM. I will provide voice prompts interupting the audio signal from the rearward speaker position or foward when using headsets. When the speaker position is in the center position, no sound comes out. But on the rearward position, it works fine in my garage. Can't roadtest till snow leaves, but sound is loud and clear and interupts radio (AM or FM) and CD player with directions.

 

Some "options" reading creates a new question... Does the navigation interface module (I'm assuming "NIM" from my last post) or the zumo 660 provide an option to turn off the voice prompts through my stereo speakers. That could get annoying with city driving and that may be the determining factor in whether I purchase the module. Also, any input on how you like it would be appreciated.

 

[quote=Nute;7830336]They are easily identifed. They are exposed on top of the sheathing going to the headlight with the orange wire being Hot and the black ground. Once you take the fairing off, you can't miss them. Connecting to them is easy and provides switched power.

 

Hey Shark Ride...

The NIM is the Harley-Davidson Navigation Interface Module...this unit allows the Zumo's voice commands to be heard through your speakers or headset by 'blanking' whatever your audio source is and inserting the current navigation command.

The NUOH is the Harley-Davidson Non-Ultra Overlay Harness that is purchased for use that allow additional accessories to be connected to the Harmon-Kardon radio...some of the accessories are XM radio, passenger headset, sidecar speakers...and so on. This harness assembly connects to the 35 pin connector on the back of your radio. I have an XM radio and had to have this connector for installation. The NUOH is somewhere in the neighborhood of $150.00. The NIM has to have connections (a total of 5) made to the 35 pin connector to operate. If you do not have (or need) an overlay harness...you can buy an adapter kit just for the NIM that costs in the neighborhood of $25.00. The NUOH and the adapter kit is an either/or setup...you do not need both. You simply have one or the other to make connectivity to the radio through that 35 pin connector.

As far as the ZUMO connectors go...there are a total of 5. They are, in no specific order...1) fused power, 2) ground, 3) audio in, 4) mic in, and 5) mini USB. Each one is used or not used based on your specific installation requirements.

I hope this helps...

I concur Estil...easier to 'pop' the fairing cover and replace the fuse than to try to rewire it to a location that is easier to get to.

I would simply 'disable' the voice prompts through the Zumo...as far as liking the system, I'm confident that I will...but my bike is currently torn down for upgrades and cleaning. I have not 'road tested' the NIM as of yet.

Thanks SCJE8...... Great explanation and yes -- certainly does help a bunch. One more quick question that the manual doesn't answer, can the voice prompts be either turned off of volumed down on the zumo 660?? Thanks again~
