Is there anything you would purchase for the zumo 550, that doesn't come with it, that would make this unit much better, or that would be necessary to use this unit properly?

$600.00 mail in rebate would have been nice (lol)

They're a Great System... built in FM Modulator might have been a plus???

Yeah, I'd probably drop my oldest crappiest XM from service and put the zumo on in its place. Then my dad could have a newer nicer radio that I have right now. Work out all the way around.

I'd like to see a software update to equalize out the MP3's and a routing system that new about the most popular motorcycle roads and used those to route first.
