Garmin 765T Hardwired

[Color01]

I'm planning to purchase a Garmin 765T.

Does anyone have this unit hardwired? And is there a way you can use your Bluetooth phone with this system in combination with a headset.

Yes I have have it wired and in a RAM mount.

 

I dont care to use my cell pohne while operating a motorvehicle, so I would just have to read the owners manual for the Bluetooth info, but I don't have it handy. Sorry.

 

Maybe you can download the manual from Garman's web site.

Yes you can hard wire it. You can get the hardwire adapter here http://www.mountguys.com/product_p/z-mfx-10747-b.htm

 

Yes you can use your bluetooth phone with it and if you get a BuddyRich cable adapter it will integrate with headsets on your scoot. The mic input is in the cradle and the headset output is on the side of the unit.

I have the 765T and have some advice.

 

First, if you are buying the "T" version for the traffic feature, you may want to reconsider. This traffic is from radio stations and only covers a few areas. The radio receiver is in the cigarette lighter power cord. If you hard wire the unit with the accessory cord for that purpose, you lose the "T" traffic function as it does not have the receiver. What the hard wire cord does have is a light in it that probably will run down your battery unless you wire it so the power goes off when you turn off the ignition.

 

Also, the traffic function is not very good, because it does depend on the radio station to have up to date traffic. My son has a Blackberry type thing and gets traffic from the internet, and it is MUCH more accurate and covers a bigger area and updates much quicker.

 

I think some of the more expensive Garmin GPS units that require a monthly fee have the internet traffic. If that is important, get the internet version. (that is what my son called it, maybe it is really something else, but what ever, the 765T isn't very good for traffic info.)
