Starcom to 660 jack plug in

[Rick 1600]

New GSA has the Garmin Sat nav mount fitted but where do I plug in the jack plug from the Starcom so I can hear instructions music and stuff?

I have mine plugged in under the little rubber flap marked 'audio out' on LHS of 660

Does your mount block this though?

Hi Newboy. Yes, it does. The cables from the sat nav mount go down to a plug and junction box above the right hand radiator. I'm not sure what the plus for as no cables come out of it?

Can't help you then - sounds like a BMW 'improvement'...

I may be wrong but I think you'll find the bike has a BMW nav mount not a garmin.

Yes, but it's the same unit. How does the BMW sat nav connect to a Starcom or any other bike communication unit?

Yes its the same unit, but I believe the cradle it fits into is different. The normal Garmin cradle (a 660 ) is a small one without the surround that the BMW nav has. Incidentally, the Garmin 660 mount has a wiring loom to which you attach a CAB 66 cable which plugs into the Starcom.

PS since its a new bike , has it got the twiddly wheel thing on the left handlebar ?. If so , I don't know if you can get a Garmin to provide audio as BMW has configured its nav system differently to a standard Zumo.

I will phone Starcom tomorrow and see if they have some idea.
