Yet another Zumo question

[Bill767]

I've picked up the BMW repair connector, so I'm all set to wire in the power lead to the Zumo. But, I got to thinking, almost always a bad thing, has anyone put in quick connectors in the lead so you can easily take the Zumo mount off the bike? Or does everyone just leave the mount on the bike? I thought of using a 2 wire trailer plug, fairly waterproof and easy to manage. Thoughts??

I always leave the mount on the bike. I do not see any reason for removing it. The Zumo can be removed in seconds, whereas removing my RAM mount, and the power, XM antenna, and audio connectors, would be a pain.

 

However, if that is what you want to do, the power connector just plugs into the cradle, and can be removed.

My mount is permanent as well

Permanent. No regrets.

I did permanent. The dealer installed the power. My project tomorrow is to wire the Zumo leads. Hope it works

[Bill767]

Looks like permanent is winning. I guess it does make sense not to pull the mount off and on.

I leave mine on the bike. There is a guy over on http://www.zumoforums.com/zumo/ that sells a replacement security screw. Really helps with taking the zumo out of the mount.

Yeah, I already bought 2 from him. It was more a matter of leaving the mount on the bike. The security screw replacement works well. Let's you get the Zumo itself off quickly, but keeps the mount tight without messing around with that Garmin screw.
