Hardwiring a zumo XT Series Device Directly to a 12-Volt Power Source

It is not recommended to hardwire Garmin automotive products to a 12-volt power source unless using a specifically-designed, Garmin-made accessory with a compatible device. Hardwiring a device in any other way may cause damage. Damage incurred in this way is not covered under warranty.

  • Can also be used with the Handlebar Controller and Group Ride Radio Y-Adapter Kit (6" Devices) to hardwire the device to a vehicle.

  • This cable is not included with the zūmo XT2, and can be used with the Group Ride Radio or Handlebar Controller when purchased separately or in the bundle.
    

• zūmo® XT GPS navigator includes a Power Cable to hardwire the device to a motorcycle.
  

Concerns of using other power cables (outside of getting enough power) are that traffic may not work, and the cable may not be capable of providing a clean power signal to the device. This could affect the overall performance for all features to work. 

When hard-wiring a device to a vehicle's battery, the device may constantly be drawing and draining power from the vehicle.

If a device is not covered by the options above, it should never be hardwired under any circumstances.
