DonB Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Does anyone know if the NAV 5 can work on another bike and not a BMW? Will a Zumo 590 or similar cradle work? Thanks! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 No problem doing this, well ok, maybe one. I keep getting prompts telling me to lose the fingerless gloves and beanie helmet. Good luck with the Ten! Pat Link to comment
DonB Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Tewks, Its too clean! I have the NAV 5 and am looking for a cradle that will work on my Tenere. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Give these guys a call, I'm sure they would be able to set you up. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/sw-motech-vibration-damped-quick-release-gps-holder-yamaha-xt1200z-super-tenere-10 Cradle? Didn't the Nav have a cradle with it when you purchased it? Twisted throttle will have a mount for your cradle. Pat Link to comment

I don't think the cradel of a Zumo 590 will work, but a Zumo 660/665 cradel will. You won't have the plug and play and if you want Audio you'll have to do that Via Bluetooth. Link to comment
DonB Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thats what I was hoping. Thanks Stratj Link to comment
DonB Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Pat, The cradle that it came with is a BMW specific cable that has a wiring harness preconfigured. I was hoping for a non-BMW PNP option. Link to comment

I bet you could use the BMW cradle, the wires aren't long but you could just splice in you power connection. Or you could do what I did and sell the cradle (I sold mine at BMW MOA Flea Market) Buy the Zumo cradle and pocket some money. Jay Link to comment
DonB Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Strataj, Thanks. I will pick up 660 cradle and sell the BMW one. Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'd be surprised if you can't also get audio out from the 660 cradle (at least there's audio out from MY 660 cradle, and audio in as well). I'd be really surprised if Garmin did the wiring all that differently between the 660 and Nav V. I previously had a NAV II, and it worked exactly the same in a 2610 cradle/cable. You just don't get the extra BMW buttons. Link to comment
