Went for a short ride today and my Garmin 2720 won't acquire any sattelites.... It worked fine 3 days ago...I keep my bike in my garage and its pretty humid in there because I'm always hosing out the dog kennel....do you think this is a humidity problem? Brought it in the house and have it near my air conditioner hoping it will " dry " out..I have a nuvi 250 that I can use when I go to MD...Just wondering if I'm on the right track....I'D rather have my 2720...I'M just more comfortable using it...Any ideas......... ps... I have power and all other systems seem to work just fine except for the navagating.............

I recently mounted a Garmin 2720 GPS to my recently acquired 03 RSV and connected into the AUX input. Lots of background humming was solved with a Radio Shack ground loop isolator. I then split the audio out from the 2720 and my Satellite radio with standard 1/8" splitters. The 2720 is mono out and is cutting out one channel from the satellite radio when both are on. Just being connected and not on, the 2720 is messing up the satallite badly. I had hoped to share the AUX input as I did on my prior ride with an aftermarket audio system. I see many expensive solutions talked about here. I also picked up on a few inexpensive idea (thx guys). But after speaking with an engineering type friend of mine, he came up with an easy plug and play affordable solution. It was simple and it works: - Simply put a Ground Loop Isolator on the output of both devices that will share the AUX input of the factory radio. A number of adapters are required to make the transitions from headphone type jacks to the RCA types of the Ground Loop Isolator and back to headphone jack of the AUX input. Everything is Radio Shack available. Wall Mart has the Isolators for $13.50 by me ($18 @ Radio Shack). - In my case, since the Garmin 2720 is mono out, I also had to get a 1/32" mono - 1/8" stereo adapter. - In all I spent ~$40 for the connection hardware, no soldering, just plugs and wire ties. Hows it work? - Adjust the bike volume to a comfortable level and the device output volumes of both units so that the GPS is comfortably louder than the other device, in my case the satellite radio. - Although I have to crank up the bikes volume slightly more than I used to, it sounds just as good as it did before and when it GPS time, she chimes in nicely. Hope it helps... _______________

Where is the best place to tap in for power for my new Garmin 2720? I have the outer Fairing off at the moment for some other stuff... is there a good place to draw power from under there? Thanks

The cable that hooks to your Garmin 2720 so that you can hear it thru your speakers, is it still available and if so what is it called? They have discontinued this type so I didn't know if it is still available. How exactly does it work? I have the cable already mounted to the back of the radio in the flaring. I was planning on buying the 2820 but if you can purchase a cable for the 2720 then I will just buy it instead because it is cheaper.

I just ordered a Garmin Streetpilot 2720 with ram mount, and I’m thinking to hardwire it or use the power outlet from my bike…but I’m also thinking can you connect it to your audio system so you can hear the directions thru your speakers or is the original speaker loud enough to hear the directions when you ride. Can't wait to install everything.
