Still looking for advice on the GPS, I know it comes with the 660 but I understand that the 660 doesnt include weather, which would be nice when we"re touring. Has anyone swapped the 660 for the 665 with the dealer or have any advice on either GPS, pros, cons, if I can work out a 665 is it just plug and play or do I have to MOD . I'm in unfamiliar territory here and could use some advice.
Thanks

Great reply, just what I was looking for, and thanks. I did the deed yesterday, before I saw your reply, and ended up with the 660 that came with the bike. I was going to check with their parts guy and make the swap, but he was busy, they were trying to get me to sign papers and all I really wanted to do was get on the road, as it was getting late and it was a long ride back so just as well I guess.
The weather was threatening as we road back, big rain clouds and it looked like we might get a little damp, (forgot to bring rain gear, well actually, my plan was to have them load the bike in the truck and we would drive her home, anyway, plans changed...) I turned on the WX and listened and dodged raindrops, plugged in the zumo at a rest stop halfway back and it seemed to work well for the ride home, just now reading the manual.
I have another question regarding the Bluetooth connection to the phone, if someone calls will I be able to talk and listen through the HK headset hookup? I haven't found any reference to that setup anywhere. It would have been great to be able to communicate with my better half last night as she was driving the truck.

I bought a FLHTCUSE8 two weeks ago and I did get all that has been listed previously along with the garage door opener. Note that I am in Canada. No gold key but two sets of ***** and standard keys (electric lock). The XM is in the radio unit and not in the Zumo 660 as mentionned.
So far I am in love...

Not really.....i financed my 2012 V-Rod recently.....1.25% for 5 years....It's WAY more valuable to me to take the cash I would have used to write a check for the bike and keep that money in Apple, IBM, Cisco, etc....

1.25 is a pretty good rate and certainly makes it pay to keep the cash, nice going!
I have the bike now, FLHTCUSE8 ANNV, she's a beautiful ride. I've put 500 miles on her in 3 days and trying hard to break her in right, and get those miles on any time I can.
As far as Bluetooth goes, the only thing I can figure at the moment is that, yes you can Bluetooth to the GPS but it's useless unless your stopped as it works with the GPS speaker not integrated with the HK system, so you can't hear or talk via Harley headset setup.. Now I can't be sure I'm totally right on this as I haven't bothered to spend a lot of time trying to figure it out yet, but I think from other posts I've read thats about the story. But, I did a little searching and found this link it sound interesting and may be a solution, still need to do a little research and see what alternatives there are..

I bought mine on my birthday July 7th. Not brand new, but had 500 miles on it. Had all the bells and whistles but I was bothered by 2 issues. The IPOD didn't work! Took it back to the dealership after diagnosing 90% of the problem myself. The cable in the right saddle bag that links to the soft tabs and handle bar controls dod NOT work. 4 hours of sitting around the dealership waiting on a tech to fix was a PITA. Still didn't fix it today, so I have to go back AGAIN tomorrow. The second issue is the HEAT! The heat that comes off the exhaust of the 110 in scorching! The only solution is to change out the head pipes (where the catalytic converter is located) also involves new header pipes, dyno time and tech time all to have it run the same minus the heat. Has anyone else had this problem? A lot to spend and even more on a bike costing this much. Seems like the corporate "big wigs" would remedy this problem before full production, or offer some sort of retro fit at no cost after what I am sure will surface again and again in future reviews and customer satisfaction surveys. To make it even more of an issue, this is the 110th Anniversary addition which should make a positive statement, rather than comments followed by "but". Nice ride....but. Great sound system....but. Nice power with the 110...but.
Thanks for your comments.

on my 12 CVO, i changed the head pipe and the muffler and added a tuner. All total you have at least another $1000 to $2000 to spend if you want to reduce the heat. Then be prepared for mid 30's gas mileage.
