How do I wire a garmin Zumo 220 into the 2008 Victory Vision so that it will play through the stereo system the same as other models of gps? Could it work by syncing it with a blutooth compatible IPOD, since the IPOD is already hard wired into the bike from the factory? have limited electrical experience and need detailed instructions.

Hello,

Please describe exactly what the problem is so that we can better provide an answer.

sounds like the Audio patch cord, i had around 5 of them that do that ...sometimes i hear the music thru one speaker, cracking noise sometimes it works when the wire is twisted, but i would try a new patch cord first.....my patch cord worked fine on some stereo units others break up

Pls come back and rate our answer.

Commonly happened when playing MP3's using an early version of the firmware. Install the Garmin updater and install the latest firmware and patches.

My original unit did the same thing.

Instructions taken directly from the Garmin website

How to Install:

1. Connect your Garmin GPS device to your computer.
2. Click Download.
3. Click Open, if necessary.
4. Click Extract.
5. Browse to find the “Garmin/vehicle” folder on the Garmin drive. You may need to create the vehicle folder.
6. Double-click the Unplug or Eject icon in your system tray. Click Stop, and then click OK.
7. Unplug the USB cable from your Garmin GPS device.

Make sure that the bike's electrical connection to the GPS unit is actualy not having power once you turn the key off in the bike. This GPS turns on with external power. It is inherent in to its design.

In the case were you cannot have the bike's power source to the GPS turn off with the key, see if you can wire a small in-line switch in series with the GPS unit so that you have an external power switch. This should be easy to do.

The models I have used from Garmin have their own power switch. You should be able to use its power switch to turn it off.

Is the GPS in the cradle? How is it wired for power? Any SD cards in the GPS? If so remove that first.
Sometimes line-noise can cause eratic behaviour, line-noise usually comes from the generator, fans, ignition systems. try to wire the device closest to the battery, the battery works as a capacitor and reduces line noise. Try and run the gps with the wall charger, does it happen then too? Make sure you are on the latest firmware (garmins webupdater) .If it works okay running off the wall charger, then check what's with the vehicle power supply. Nothing there, insert the sd card....as soon as problems start, check the last changes made

I bought a wired motorcycle headset, which does works okay (below 50 mph) www.imc-motorcom.com, didn't like the wire so I switched to a BT helmet kit, manufactured by interphone, works like a charm.

Hmmm, sounds like a firmware issue, current firmware is 4.20, to update use the garmin webupdater download from the garmin site. PS the issues you mention were with firmware 3.30
