Aug 7, 2020 · I finally broke down and bought a Zumo XT GPS. Mounting it on the RT turned out to be fairly easy. I bought a stick on RAM ball and cleaned the area behind the windshield really well. Put it on and let it sit for a couple of days before I used it. I …

Oct 13, 2023 · I am a new owner of a 2023 K1600B. I love the TFT display, but I have found that sometimes I lose all of my navigation abilities due to a weak cell signal. I have downloaded all the maps to my phone, but I still have problems in remote areas. On my 2018 K1600B it had the BMW Nav device and that...

Jun 10, 2008 · Greetings! Please show/tell me how you've got your Zumo mounted to your R1100/1150RT! TIA, Philbert

Dec 15, 2024 · The Garmin Drive APP is very helpful in transferring GPX files. Email file to your phone and then import it to the Garmin Drive APP and it appears on your XT like magic. The Garmin Explore APP is a PITA, if you haven't already installed it on your XT and your phone skip it during the setup.

May 19, 2022 · Zumo XT in locking Touratech Mount in the same place the factory GPS mounts. I bought the BMW Repair harness plug that enabled me to connect it to the bike where the NAV-VI connects. I've put 8,000 miles on my XT so far - great screen, navigates well, updates on its own from WIFI, works well with my Samsung S10 phone and my Cardo PT Bold.

Sep 8, 2023 · This is far from the standard of quality BMW stands for. Does anyone know when we can expect an update that will make the Connected Ride Navigator 'fit for purpose'? The beautiful photos displayed on the main menu just rub salt in the wound by showing the hi-res screen's capability.

Jun 17, 2021 · The motorcycle mount for the XT is different from the previous Zumo models and the BMW navigation system; the GPS unit itself has larger dimensions than the priors. I was able to configure the XT mount and unit to fit in the "factory-prepared" space of the "Instrument Cover" (part name in fiche).

Dec 13, 2022 · If you want to power a XT use the BMW repair plug and wire it to the end of the XT and plug it into factory plug with no wire cutting or splicing. The NAV VI is a great NAV when it is not ghosting on you. If Garmin keeps working to fix it it may survive for a lot more years.

Feb 17, 2023 · Ok, I answered one of my own questions, the bar clamps BMW Part 31427715490, item 2 in the schematic, are a mere $70.85 each from BMW (insert sarcasm). I may 'modify' my bridge with the trusty hacksaw blade as $140+ for two clamps is a bit pricey.

May 16, 2021 · I found the navigation function using the BMW Motorrad Connected app through the TFT to be less than satisfactory, so I came to depend upon my Nav VI or Zumo 590LM for that. Finding the pairing order and types of pairings that work best to get all three cooperating may require some fiddling, but there are YT videos along with posts (I think in ...
