RE: Garmin Zumo 550
get a 3.5mm male to male plug from Radio Shack, this will allow you to hear the voice prompts over the speakers or through the head sets if you have them......you will only hear the Zumo, if it's playing XM radio or MP3 music and the voice from a planned route. The GPS voice will over ride the music. Also, if you have it, you will hear your phone through Blue tooth....
I like mine a lot, I only use XM radio and MP3 player.....works great though the AUX plug.....
Kennady Cell Set also makes a system that will intergrate the compete system, they are on the web....
Hope this helps.

I know you can get a stereo patch cable and go to the auxilary input on the radio, but I dont know about the intercom

Since its coming in through the AUX port, you cannot listen to your radio, CD, CB, etc and still get the voice prompts. The Garmin has a slot so you can stick a 2,4, or whatever Gb SD memory card in it to hold mp3 files. You can get the gps voice commands while listening to these mp3 files.

Kevin, Pirateye here, is a good friend and recently hard-wired his Zumo 550 to the HK headunit on his '06 Classi/Ultra--he didn't want the plug in the face of the headunit. Shoot him a PM if you would like to do the same.

RE: Garmin Zumo 550
I have the Zumo 550. It's great and really easy to use, even with your riding gloves on. Only problem I have is that the bluetooth connection to my phone (Blackberry 8830) requires a mike (not the HD Intercom mike) so that you can answer any incoming calls. I have the XM radio unit with the Zumo so I can hear XM, GPS, Intercom, CB over my headset...all that's lacking is the phone mike. The Zumo forum has a good page on "hard wiring" your Zumo to the bike.
