Zumo 660

[kwallace21]

Hello all.
Recently paired my 660 to my HTC 1 V via the Zumo Bluetooth function.
The Zumo is connected to an Autocom Logic with the proper Autocom cable.
When I made a phone call all went well. The phone rang and was answered.
I could hear the person saying hello but they couldn't hear me.
Is there something else I need to do to make proper 2 way calls using the Garmin ?

Thanks in advance .
Cheers
Kev

The other cable from the Zumo, with the 2.5mm female socket has to be used as ' mic in', and pluged in to one of the Autocom ports, but not sure which one. I did get mine working, but don't use phone on bike.

I thought the later Autocoms handled this better. The previous models, such as the Super Pro Avi, which I have, do as you describe. This is due to the fact that incoming audio mutes the mic. on certain sockets.

It might be worth looking in your Logic instruction manual or downloading the one from Autocom's website if you don't have the original. GPS should be plugged into Aux#2.

The way around the issue for me is to use a Bluetooth dongle to handle the phone side of things, this connected, in your case to, to Aux#3 with the GPS audio (directions and voice) into Aux#2.

However, as I said above I thought the current Autocoms worked out of the box using the Autocom 4066 Zumo lead plugged into Aux#2. This is the lead you have isn't it? 4 pole 3.5mm jack at one end and then 3.5mm 3 pole stereo and 2.5mm mono jacks the other? Obviously if you just have a stereo isolated lead or just the plain stereo lead that came with the Logic then you don't have mic input at all and that would explain your problem.

All the sockets on the Logic are identical & 4-pole. Just for the sake of experimentation plug the GPS into the phone socket and try again.

Respectfully I suggest that you read the manual. They might all physically be 4 pole 3.5mm but they don't act the same in respect of how they react to their input and the simultaneous input of other sockets.

Thank you for the advice folks. All leads are proper garmin, autocom and all plugged in correctly. I'll try plugging in to the phone aux and see what happens.
Wondering now whether I want to get a phone call when I'm on the bike.
Wouldn't mind trying it for novelty value though.

The question is what lead is it? Do you have a model number?

I don't like taking calls whilst riding and would never attempt to make an outgoing call. It is useful for emergencies (use twice last year where friends had accidents) or if the wife is worried that I'm not home at a time that she thinks I should be Unless the message and reply are very brief I would normally say I'll call them back.

Hi Bumpkin,

I did read the manual that you thoughtfully provided a link to. And on another thread in the GPS section, the OP mentions that he is using a 4066 lead.

I totally agree with you about the effect on other inputs.
My Super Pro Automatic handles phone calls via the Zumo straight out of the box, so the Logic should as well.
Using the phone socket should work as well as the GPS socket.

Luckily the OP is giving himself plenty of time to get things sorted!

Best wishes,

John

Thanks for the insight on that John I missed that post or at least didn't connect it with this one.

Yep, I was under the impression that both the SPA and Logic worked as advertised with the 4066 cable.

Best option use autocom blue tooth dongle to deal with audio in and out.

As GSMAN says.

1. Get the latest external autocom bluetooth module. - Do NOT buy the old internal BT board that mounts inside the Logic unit; there's at least 2 very good reasons why they stopped making them.

2. Unplug the Zumo's 3.5 mm leads from the autocom (chop 'em off or hide them away, you don't need them anymore).
3. remove the inline noise autocom unit (4066 etc) for the Zumo (if you have one)

4. Pair the Zumo to the autocom via Bluetooth.
5. Pair the phone to the Zumo.

People will now be able to hear you talking on the phone!

Also the music playback from the Zumo IME via BT is better than wired.


This worked for me, 1st time.

Oh, and this is with a Logic unit too.
