Garmin Zumo XT Motorcycle and Car Installation

Thank you so much, Garmin should have paid you for this incredibly well done job.

You are AWESOME!! This is exactly the instructional video I was hoping to find! Thank you for posting this!! It was a huge help!!!

Your instructions are very clear and helpful. Thank you very much Mr. Byrne!

Excellent tutorial on motorcycle installation. Byrne rocks on everything he publishes. Thank you !

Simple and easy to follow instructions. Thanks.

Very good video. Loved the idea of using a marker on those parts.

Very nice video and real helpful. Thanks for putting this out there.

Thanks for posting. It was very helpful.

Thank you so much for this video, without it I would probably have a big problem because I’m not a handyman.👍

Thank you - nice video! NB - love the Rolex!!! Greetings from South Africa

Merci beaucoup très belle vidéo détaillé

Great video. Nice job 👍

Thanks for the video. I've been trying to find out if I could charge the unit with the 12v charger on my bike instead of wiring it up directly to the battery. Good to know that option is there.

Awesome video, thankyou

Great instructional video. With the permanent connection, any worries about battery drain with the unit disconnected? Also wondering if you or anyone has considered/tried using an existing SAE connector.

Parabéns. Brasil. Santa Catarina. Blumenau.

I asked garmin: I attached zumo xt to the battery of my motorcycle as instructed. When I turn motorcycle ignition off zumo xt satnav on the mount will not switch off, it still takes electricity from the battery. It could drain battery if left for longer. My old garmin zumo 550 in same circumstances turns off itself before offering to stay on using it’s internal battery. Is there an option to make the new XT use same good function (to turn itself off with ignition off) as zumo 550 from 2006? I think that would be a handy function to have. Once I opened zumo550 motorbike cradle and was surprised there’s a lot of microschemes and chips inside. Good luck with zumo xt.

Maybe if it’s difficult running the wiring due to the transformer block it might be easier to run the plug that screws to the base through the panels, and attach it last (assuming it’s smaller than the transformer)

It appears to me you installed the rubber spacers, backwards (according to your schematic). My zumo 660 (now 12 years old) install was a breeze in comparison. Just stick it on the ball mount, plug into my Audew power supply and I'm done. Thanks!

I’m hooking up mine now, first installation was on my Silverwing with a cigarette lighter connection, but I now want to hard wire it to the battery of my TW200.. you’re saying that once the unit is removed from the cradle there is ZERO battery draw? I would expect the converter box to drain a bit just keeping itself alive…. thanks for a great vid!
