Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | OK, so I decide to breakdown and do this whole GPS integration thing right (sound connection on bike and BlueTooth with my Scala Cardo Rider Q2). Bought a Garmin Zumo 660. Great unit. I knew that to get total integration with bike, I needed the Garmin Motorcycle Audio Integration / Mount Kit (Victory PN 2877930). Dealer came down on the $1000 MSRP for both, but I still paid paid $75-100 over what I could have purchased on line . . . did this just to support my local dealer. Unit performs great on my way home.
Get everything out of the box. I'm wanting to mount to my center console. Garmin ships with a variety of Ram mount hardware, but this seems to be hardware to mount to handle bars. I also have the motorcycle mount kit, so I think I'm golden, right? Wrong! It seems that I now need the Victory PN 2878028 GPS Mount Kit for another $149 MSRP to get properly installed. WTF??? I know, I know . . . welcome to Victory aftermarket parts scam and I'm sure HD is worse, but it's starting to lessen my otherwise "happy" experience of upgrading my new bike. What's equally frustrating is that the parts guy know less about all this than I do . . . they really shouls spend some time on these forums!
Two questions:
Any clean, inexpensive, and sturdy way to mount this Zumo 660 to console without having to buy Victory's $149 mount?
What's the chances that I take console apart only to find that this Zumo Audio harness won't connect to my 09 Vision? Any easy fixes/ adapters if this is the case. (I went through 2 iPod adapters till I found the one that worked with my 09.)
Thanks in advance for your help here!

Lehigh Valley, Pa | I feel your pain on the 660 pricing. I talked to my dealer about the delta between Vic and retail and they actually told me to do it my self and took down the info to provide to other customers. I got my 660 for $575 shipped, cut and redid the stock cable to plug directly into the vic and purchased my mount from Arizona Victory. http://www.arizonavictory.com. Still not cheep $90, but better.
By the way, by cutting the cable I was able to minimize the hole in the dash, my cable feeds through the center of the mount. Very clean.

Did you use std cable that shipped with Garmin? Did you splice audio outs on Garmin cable to Victory harness to get sound from speakers? Any advice would be appreciated. |

Lehigh Valley, Pa | Yes, I used the stock cable rather than buying the cable from Vic. Do a search on the 660, there is a lot of info on connectors etc. I made this up (if I can upload it) for a buddy to help him with the wiring.

Thats kinda what I was thinking wjoel...not to mention the unsightly mount when your not using the unit.... but I still would like to see a couple of options such as RiverRat's.

| I bought the very expensive u-shaped piece of aluminum to mount my existing Zumo 660 on the console of my 2010 Vision. The Canadian accessory catalog shows it at $184.99 CDN. Dealer knocked it down to $154.00 CDN. Did the install last night. Already ordered the Garmin connection cable / mount with the bike. To add insult to injury, after paying soooo much for a ten dollar hunk of aluminum, the mounting screws provided with the mount to attach the Garmin mount to it were an eight of an inch too long and bottomed out before the base was mated to the face of the aluminum mount. Had to improvise at ten o'clock at night and use four small stainless steel washers under each screw to get the base to sit flush against the bracket. Go figure that the genius's who made this base didn't try mounting the Garmin connection base to it before packaging them up with screws that are much too long. |

Nice looking mount. Is that the one Victory sells?
Sounds like you used the std harness that came with Garmin. Thx for diagram.
I am a total rookie at electronics. Did you just cut off the connectors and splice wires together to integrate sound? Make an adaptor harness with new male and female connectors? I tried searching and couldn't find detailed wiring how to's.
First pic is connector on Victory supplied audio harness. Second is (I think) the harness on the Vision.

I did use the standard harness that comes with the non VIC unit. I just cut the cable at the plastic Y in the cable, striped back the outer cover, separated the wires that go to their respective connectors. I then put heat shrink over the groups of wires, crimped new pins and connectors on and plugged it in. Also I waited to put the fuse holder and connectors on until the cable was fed through the panel, this way I was able to minimize the hole size. I was also lucky to have the crimp tool for the pins from an old job, the pins are the same size as a serial "D-SUB" connector.
This is where I purchased the VIC style connector and pins. Radio shack for the rest.

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | Sounds pretty easy . . . so it seems I need to purchase:
(1) - http://www.newunitedracetech.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_i...
(4) - http://www.newunitedracetech.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_i...
Shrink wrap
Then I need to crimp 4 pins to 4 wires from Garmin base and push into P1 - P4 on the newly purchased connector. Plug in and I'm golden? Where I get confused is what wires colors go to which pins for audio. I see from diagram RED = +12 v BLACK = Ground and they go to P1 & P4 . . . what confuses me (since I'm a total rookie at wiring diagrams) is what wires my audio comes from. GY/BU & BU/OR. Doesn't help that I haven't cut into my wires yet. Your help so far has been excellent. Any further "nuggets" of wisdom will help us all figure this out. This is what is so noce about this site! Thx. BTW, you could go into business making and selling "adapter harnesses" to us poor SOBs who shelled out this kind of cash and can't get the Zumo 660 hooked up. 
PS Victory engineers need to think how messed up this is when they change connectors from model year to model year! At least do us the decency of providing a cheap adapter harness! |

Lehigh Valley, Pa | First I must apologize I posted an old drawing above. I just noticed the connections on that version was an experiment I tried (MIC). Sorry all, I was not paying attention to the drawing version, that should be deleted.
There are two methods of doing this, one is to integrate the audio to the AUX input (which I did) or integrate through the GPS connection which I believe most people are doing. I wanted to use the 660 as my MP3 player with stereo so I cabled it out the the AUX jack. Going through the GPS connector is a single channel. This is why the drawing has the 1/8" stereo connector section.
Look at the drawing attached (V2.5) which shows connecting the purple to(P3)and the orange to(P2), some people double up the brown and purple. I am not sure if there is any benefit doing this since I did not go that direction.
When you buy you connector buy extra pins in the event you screw some up. They are cheap. I guess you could use pliers, never tried it.

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | RiverRat (or any othe motorcycle electrician),
Got all the stuff to do your connector mod. New diagram is clear. I git my pins and connector. Never "made" my own connectors. Is it as simple as stripping the wires, crimping pins to wires, and pushing each pin into the corresponding hole on the connector? I assume, the pins will lock into the connector. Should I solder wires to pins . . . they are awfully small pins, but I don't want wires comming loose. Any advice would be appreciated. |

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | RiverRat,
Question, concerning the pin numbering on the purchased male connector I'm adding . . . is it numbered facing the back of the connector (towards silicone connector . . . where wires push into) or from front where pins connect to female connector on bike? I got all wired up and I get neither power or sound. I'm wondering if my pins are fully seated or if I have numbering backward. Thx! |

Chesapeake, VA | So dumb question here, if I intend to use the Zumo 660 with the 09 Vision, I can plug directly into the gps plug on the bike (where the 2720 plugs in) and don't need the 1/8 stereo connector? My 2720 went the way of the dodo, and I need to replace it. Being a high tech bike I would like something more current than the 2720.
This looks like a fairly straight forward project. One other question, where did you find the 660 for only 575.00? |

| Where was the connector on the 2010 Vision, exactly. I just looked, and all I saw was the 4 connector hanging out to the right of the main panel. Do I need to dig down in more, or diff. location?
Also, are you saying there is an extra red wire in the connector, so there are 5 , not 4 as in the prior comments/pictures?
Thanks for any help, as $150 for a few wires is just not fair.
PS if the 1/8 in audio plug is used, won't the verbal instructions only come over when you only have the AUX on, not when radio is on?
Thanks all!!! |

| The connector is under the console on the r/s about half way down. It has a vinyl protective cover over the end of it. The red wire is switched 12+ volts. Yes, there are 5 wires. There is also a blue/pink that I couldn't identify. I used the aux plug wires since they allow for stereo and I'm using the GPS to play mp3s and the gps plug only allowed for one channel. I don't know if the gps will interrupt the radio or not when using the gps plug since I didn't try that but it will interrupt the audio and it won't interrupt the radio when wired to the aux plug wires. I just thought of something, I wonder if the extra wire blue/pink would have allowed for stereo? Hmmm...

I mouted the Zumo 660 to an 09. Couldn't plug directly is even with the Victory harness since they changed the connectors from 09 to 10. I returned Victory harness and used one that came in the box.
Had some help from some folks on the this site. I cut plug off of bike. I only had 4 wires (not 5) 2 for power and 2 for audio. I soldered in 2 - electrical connectors to each pair of wires (like ones you use for trailer hitches . . . can buy at Wal-Mart or Auto Zone) to included GPS mount that came with the 660 (cut off connectors here as well. RED 12v to BN/PK . . . BLK Ground to BLK/WH . . . Orange Audio - to GY/BU . . . Purple Audio + to BU/OR. Works like a charm! |

RiverRat0, major credit needs to go to you on this thread. The id on the type of connector is going to save us all major bucK, if we can find it in stock still.
If my plan to mount the gps on the dash with the RAM mount that comes with the unit works, I'm saving $300 bucks. Not that I don't want to suport our good folks at Victory to make us the best on two wheels, but times are tight for all.
NOW if we can get a 2010 schematic for the wiring to find out what that 5th wire does, were golden. |

| Thanks Marc,
As your the only other 2010 on this thread, I hope I can pick your brain some more.
Seams the wiring for the '10 has changed from the 7 pin connector mentioned earlier. The IPOD is 2 (3 and 4 pin) connectors too.
I found the 5 pin you metioned, but it was just hanging on the right side, didn't even need to remove the main panel, or anything to get to it...does that seam right?
Wire colors are pretty much as RiverRat0 listed in shcematic, but this is what I have:
red, blk/wht, bl/org, bl/pnk (maybe bl/brn), and bl/gry
I've got to test some, but I'm thinking:
Red 12+
blk/wht gnd
blue and others are combo of L, R and neutral, for audio
What colors did you use for audio, or is that in an earlier part of the thread?

| Yep, that's the plug. I wanted stereo so I used the 1/8" jack wires for sound. I hadn't thought of the possibility that the new GPS plug might give stereo. I'm curious how that will work. I imagine if you're playing a mp3 from the GPS with the radio on it will preempt the radio audio the same as it would if it was GPS directions. That would be cool. Now I'm tempted to take the console off and rewire it again. I'd rather wait and see how you do so please let me know. Questions are: does the GPS plug allow for stereo and how does it interface with the radio audio.
Thanks,
Marc |

Chesapeake, VA | Ok, so I have ordered all the parts and have all but the mount (shipped a few days ago). Before I get started on this mod, I wanted to make sure I had the plan down. So, my question is: where to cut the REALLY EXPENSIVE looking cable that came with the Zumo 660? The way I read the directions, I am cutting the fat part, somewhere before it gets to the plastic piece where it splits out to four cables. Is that correct? Those of you that have completed this, how much cable did you leave? I was thinking of leaving only about 12-18inches, to try and keep everything neat and tucked in tight...but want to still be able to easily pull the plugs apart in case I have to remove the center console.
The plugs I have worked with in the past required that you feed the wire through the plug first, crimp the pins on and pull the combo back through the hole until the pin locks in place. Is this one the same as those? Or do you crimp the pins, and push them through the back side of the new plug? Any help before I get started would be great. Thanks, and I am SOOOOOO glad someone figured this out. The idea of using discontinued products on a brand new bike always made be a bit disappointed. |

Sugar Land, TX (Outside of Houston) | I have an 08 Midnight Cherry Tour and this is what I did.
As for cutting the big old Zumo 660 Cable - Don't do it. I did not cut mine at all because the more cut points you have in a cable only increases the chance of getting a bad connection. One thread also mentioned cutting off the wired microphone jack on the Zumo Cable but why? Just electrical tape over it and save it in case you ever want hard wired over Bluetooth.
With the standard Victory Aluminum Mount, all I did was cut out the console portion completely in between the U-Shaped part. The Zumo Cable then fed through the hole with no problems. I got a rectangle rubber Gasket Piece from Auto-Zone that fits in the hole to plug it to keep water from getting under the console.
I was able to tie-wrap the entire length of the Zumo Cable and hide it up under the Console in a hollow part between the Radio Interface and the Key hole.
Then I just left the cables hanging out to the right that I needed to connect into the wiring harness.
If you are using the TINY Pins and plugs to connect to the default wiring plug on the 08/09, then you will need to crimp (or solder) the wire onto the Pin first, then push the pin from the backside of the plug until it snaps in place. Very little Solder will make sure the pin goes in OK. Also make sure to use the thinnest wire possible (I believe I used 18 Ga), because the thickness of the wire plastic coating affects how the pin goes into the back of the plug.
I also used Heat Shrink Tubing to clean up any splices I had. And then belt and suspenders had me wrap in electrical tape also. It is hidden on the right side so not noticeable.
Hope any of this helps.
The worst part of all of it was working with that tiny plug and pins. I bought a Magnifying Glass Solder Stand with alligator clips on it which held the pins and wire very well while I applied solder. My old eyes and big old hands did not work well trying to do it by hand.

There is probably no single "right" way to do this. I did cut mine with about 12 - 16" so I would have right length for easy removal of console. I also stripped cover back so I could wire fuse holder in so that all 4 wires were "flush" at end of cable. I used shrink tubing and plenty of electrical tape to seal it up. As I posted earlier, the normal connectors are a pain to work with as they are sooo small and the wires they crimp in to are such fine gauge. I did get it connected with the Tycos, but when I pulled connectors loose, the wire popped out of the pin. That's where I gave up and soldered in trailer style connectors. Good luck with this! |

Fargo, ND | You are absolutly right. I use a generic garmin mount with a suction cup mount. the disc adheared directly below the key and I run the cable into the glove box on the left side of the tank. I also got the plug in adapter for the electircal outlet that enlarges the Victory accessory plug in to the standard plug in. It works great. I just make sure I keep the disc clean and free of scratches. The suction cup mount holds my $125.00 Garmin in perfect line of sight. Total investment:$164.00 Garmin $125.00, Mount $19.00, Adapter $ 24.00

| I just did the GPS wiring on the '11 so I got to try and see if the extra wire would give stereo. It doesn't. I don't know what it does actually. I sure like the fact that the GPS interrupts the radio regardless of the band. It even works when playing a MP3. When the song stops the radio kicks back in. The directional prompts override everything, radio or MP3. Very cool, particularly to one definitely NOT from the Ipod generation

Th e canadian dealers want about 1200 dollars for the victory gps, which is a zumo 660 with victory badging on it, way to much markup.

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | Let me try to decipher . . .
When you integrate your Zumo to the audio harness on bike, you will hear GPS direction prompts through speakers. It mutes music when it senses input from GPS. I have no idea about CB radio.
The Zumo does have blueTooth capabilities. I have my Blackberry linked to my Zumo and my Zumo linked to my CardoRider Scala headset. When all works properly, I can talk to my wife via headset, hear GPS prompts, and make/answer phone calls via BlueTooth. All works pretty seamlessly. I cannot hear music on my headset, but I don't know that I want to until in helmet speakers get better. I can hear radio via my J&M speakers well enough to enjoy the experience. Sorry I can't help on CB. |

Before I had installed a Garmin GPSMAP 276C and did not have these problems, you know is that it may be because my connection is;

Sweden | Thanks alot to Vrat for the attached drawing for the connector!
I bought the integration kit from my dealer (really expensive as You all pointed out) only to find out that it did not fit on my 2009 VV. Really angry with my dealer since I expected him to be able to read! (he asked for the model year when I ordered the part) I my self found out that it did not fit after drilling hole in the panel so I was pretty mad!
After going to this forum and I found the drawing supplied from Vrat You really made my day! I cut the wires and soldered them on to a new plug and plugged it in. It works like a charm!
All I have to do now is return the really expensive cable that I did not have to buy in the first place.
Thanks again Vrat |

| Here is How I did mine using the kit that came with the garmin Zumo 660. All you need to do is buy rome 1/4 inch ready rod ( or threaded rod ), some 1/4 inch clear tubing or black hose if you wish, ans 2 nylon lock nuts and 2 washers. Insert the tubing on the ready dod and then bend it around your handle bar, then cut it to lenght and install the garmin handle bar mount, works great. Now lets see if I can up;oad pictures.

Stony Mountain, MB Canada | <p>I have a 2009 Vision Tour Premium that I currently have a Victory Tour Tech (Garmin 2720) mounted to the console with a custom made mount to raise the GPS up so that I can have my Sirius docking station underneath it. I have ordered a Garmin 660 from GPS City, but I haven't received it yet, I have the following questions: - Is the spacing for the screws to fasten the 2720 to the mount the same distance as the mount for the 660? In other words will I be able to use my custom mount to mount the docking pad for the 660 on the same as what I have done with the 2720? - Will I have to buy the mount kit from Victory # 2878028 for $179.99 Canadian or can I use the mount kit that will come with the 660 GPS. - Seeing as my bike is a 2009 will the plug work to plug in the 660 into the radio through the GPS port with the cord that come on the Garmin Kit? If not, do I cut the plug off the cord that currently hooks up my 2720 and use it on the harness that was supplied in the 660 kit or can I buy the plug from an electronics store and use it on the harness that was supplied in the 660 kit - Or seeing as my bike is a 2009 will the plug work to plug in the 660 into the radio through the GPS port with the cord that come on the Victory Kit part # 2878028? - I don't want to run the new 660 through the auxiliary port as that is where I run my docking station through for the Sirius radio, also I want the GPS to over ride the radio when there is a voice prompt, like it does now with the 2720.</p><p>I will attach a few pictures of my current set up. <br /></p>

Lexington Park, MD | Did anyone ever figure out what the infamous 5th wire (Blue and Pink) on the 2010/2011 VV was for? I posted the question on the general forum by accident last round so it may have just never been seen. I know I have the 4 primary wires identified for the audio In +/-, ground and switched power but what is that 5 wire for? Cutting into it this weekend along with some other mods... Thanks in advance. |

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan | Hate to be another that seems to be asking the same questions, but here i go.
I have an 08 Vision, and just ordered the Garmin 660. From what you said you can buy the proper plug that hooks direct into the bike? Have you a part number or brand of plug that i can reference for this?
does the way you set it up allow all audio through the bike system? |

Lexington Park, MD | page one of this thread should have all your answers including using the stock cable with the 660. Great wiring diagram. I have ordered through that company before with no issues. I bought the ram ball mount for my console through GPS city and utilized some GPS cradle parts I already had. GPS city was good to go as well. |

Lexington Park, MD | This is from a 2012 Manual. I have not opened up my console to verify but it should be the same for the 2011.

| I ride a 2012 Cross Country Tour. This thread has helped me sort out how I am going to wire in my Garmin 665. I am going to try to post portion of my manuals schematic of the 5 pin GPS plug arrangement. It may answer questions about the 5th wire.

Central Illinois | Want a good, not ideal, solution and have an existing Garmin to use? This is what I did on my fixed windshield HD. I bought a spare suction cup mount that came with the bracket to hold my Garmin, in my case it was a Nuvi 550. I drilled 2 small holes through that suction mount and through my windshield and used a couple of stainless steel bolts with nylock nuts to hold everything in place. I then used the cigarette lighter power adapter that comes with the Garmin to power my unit. In place it looks like this on the windshield and it works great. I can monitor it as easily as I would with it mounted on the windshield of my car.
Viewed from the seat of my HD
Viewed from the front of the windshield to show the bolting
I did use washers and thin rubber grommets to cushion the mount from inherent vibrations in the HD's windshield. I don't know if the grommets would be needed on a smoother bike. The arrangement gives me no sound through the speakers, the Nuvi is not designed to be connected to an external sound system, so I need to glance at the display now and then but it is nearly in my normal line of sight so that is never an issue. My thought was that if there is enough space under that center console, I could use the same approach on a Vision. For use on most other Victory models, without the powered windshield, you should be able to duplicate what I did. |

| Can someone create a step by step with the number on the connector etc so we can duplicate what they did to get other GPS units to work with the stereo? |

Leighton, IA | I would love to find wiring diagrams (schematics) for the 2013 Vision Tour. Anybody got any ideas where to locate this? I'm going to mount a Garmin 550 with the GXM 30 on my Vision. Haven't decided exactly how yet but I'm leaning on the handlebars. Not wanting to drill holes in the console at this point in time. |

| It is a lot easier to use the suction mount on your RPM gauge. No drilling and I ran a SAE 12v adaptor done to my battery tender so no wires to splice. Buy any brand GPS you want. Can't see paying over $600 bucks for a GPS just so I can hear it through my speakers. |
