What models that garmin produce will hook up directly to the harness under the console of a 2008 Vision?I cannot for the life of me get the Garmin Zumo 220 to come through the speaker system and lower the music and work like it should.Please help.I'm dying here.

I believe the 2720, 2730, and 2820 are the ones that work with the Vic mount. The 2820 has bluetooth capable

which is nice to have if a bluetooth communication system. Ride safe, Mike

Will the Garmin Zumo 550 work with the plug and play set up that Victory already has in place under the console?I will be mounting it on the handlebars.

MUST buy the Garmin through Victory, per Garmin, and it plugs directly into harness. Also GPS mount. Cost @ $1,000. Works great. Model is actually 2720. Unit costs same if purchased from Garmin

With a little ingenuity just about any Garmin will work as long as you modify the cable to interface the vic connector. You can spend a grand if you want or half that and a little work for the same result. I run a non vic 660 just fine. Arizona Victory also sells cheaper mounts than mother vic. I spent the extra $500 on gas...

Don't mess with the 2720 unless you are on a budget. Yes - it connects directly into the Garmin Harness with the Victory mount and cable package, but you will want to be changing soon. Small Screen and not very good resolution.

I got the Garmin Zumo 660 and did the cable modification which can be found here on the forum and love it. It is on my 08 Vision Tour.

Plus - Don't buy it from Victory and you will save several hundreds of dollars. I bought mine off of Ebay for about $350 cheaper than Victory wanted.

I did buy the Victory Aluminum Mount, but I used the stock Garmin Cable with the modifications necessary to tie it into the power and sound system. However, I use the Bluetooth feature more often than through the speakers.

The 660 is the way to go.
