I too am curious about the non-HD Zumo's working with this mount. I want to get one for my scoot, and don't want to spend TONS of money for nothing. Thanks Steve! Let us know the outcome.

The NIM does not work properly with the Garmin660/665
ONLY
with the H-D branded units.
They are different. The H-D units send a signal to activate the feature to allow the voice prompts to be heard over any other audio source. . The Garmin tech is wrong.

About half way through there are a few posts where guys swapped Garmin & H-D units on the bikes to find out only the H-D unit works. I'm certain they were talking about the 660. I keep putting off buying one for this reason.

This has been discussed in great detail on the CVO forum since August-September.

As far as the Garmin techline...that is what it is! A $12.00/per hour Tier I analyst that is reading from a 'matrix' for solutions to the questions that show up in his 'telephone cue.' Nothing more, nothing less.
If you want to use an HD NIM...you need a Road Tech Zumo.
