The cradle mount on the bike for the 550 has a 3.5mm audio out jack so yes, your UE headphones could plug into this for directions, but why not just do away with your ipod and put your music on an SD card and put it into the zumo. That way you listen to your music and when a direction is coming the music fades.
The zumo can cope with 1000 songs in MP3 format on an SD card.

zumo

Thats cool,yes listening to the music through the zumo is a + my main concern was if there was a socket to plug the monitors into,so thats great wonder if the 660 is the same?............I know peeps will say it has the bluetooth facility but i want to use my ue monitors......

That's what I do, no directions required then plug straight in to the iPhone for music, want directions from the Nav plug direct in to the Zumo cradle of my 550 and music off the built-in MP3 player.

The only thing you cannot do is voice so for that I plug in to the Autocom - simples

660 has an earphone input on the unit and the cradle I believe, 550 (which I have) is cradle only.

Yes the 660 has an audio jack you can use to plug your UE's into (assuming they are the same size!!). 660 also does not have the 1000 track limit if tons of music is important to you.

cheers
