Hardwiring earphones to the Zumo?

[jack.pe]

Can't find any info on whether this is possible, is it? The zumo tutorial only mentions bluetooth connectivity..

In a word, no.

But I've read other posts of people connecting earphones directly..? perhaps hardwiring was the wrong wrong word, i jsut menat connectin without bluetoot with a headphone jack..

Yes, you use the socket in the Zumo cradle. I have a Scala Q2 headset with Bluetooth which is fine for SatNav directions but lousy for music which is in mono. With the jack I connect the Zumo to the headset (which I bought seperately as the one which came with it did'nt have the option) which functions normally with better sound for both SatNav and MP3.

I must have missed it, i scowered the Zumo itself for a jack but not he cradle!

Ah, I see what you mean. I thought you wanted to plug the headphone lead into the 550 itself.

I have a pair of Etymotic ER6i's harwired into the cradle and find sound quality great.

It's also stereo which I understand is not possible with bluetooth.

Only downside is you have to remember to disconnect before dismounting
