Zumo 660 on navigator IV mount

[Mark GSer]

I have a navigotor IV mount fitted to my GS but no nav to fit to it. I belive the Zumo 660 is much cheaper to buy than the navigator IV so if i buy the 660 will it fit to my mount ?
Thanks in advance

Yes it will fit but the hard buttons on the Nav IV mount won't do anything.

Thanks for the quick reply. What do the buttons operate on the navigator IV ?

To be honest, I can't remember what they all do.... FWIW, I don't think I've ever used them on mine - maybe once or twice to operate the zoom and page functions but that's about it.

Check out the full owner's manual....

So would you save some money and go for the 660 over the IV ?

Personally, yes, I would. The only reason I have a Navigator IV is because I used to work in a BMW Motorrad dealership occasionally.

Note that the mount isn't the only difference between the two. The Nav IV is optimised for Bluetooth sound output, particularly in stereo. There is a hard-wired connection but it's designed to interface with the sound system on R1200 RT and K1300 GT. The 660 is more flexible in this respect, although if you were to be using it in the Nav IV mount you might again find that some of the functionality is more limited than it would be in the original Zumo mount.

the buttons on the side are useful if you listen to music
