ZUMO XM ANTENNA

[lr1228]

i just ordered my Zumo 550 from Amazon.com for $699.99. I was dismayed to learn that if I wanted the tunes...another $267.00 for the antenna puck..I called garmin to verify this and very true...but the unit is a good price..should get it tomorrow....

yep! they should have thrown the antenna puck in with the zumo!
I got a slightly used one for $150...you can find them for that if you look hard enough....

That's where I bought mine. Shipping was super fast and prices were low.

Picked up a new one on ebay for $180.00

When I first got the Zumo I called Garmin & asked "all I need is an antenna to operate the XM?" The guy kind of laughed & said yeah, that's all ya need. I said "I will need a couple, one for each bike" Then he was really laughing when he told me that would be a little under $600.00 & I would need two monthly subscriptions... I was silent for a moment or two, then said... "better let me think it over first"

Clarification, that wasn't slightly used, it was brand new! And I'm glad you like it.

Ok...I think I'll try Ebay...

Also note that the zumo XM antenna uses a different connector than that for the 2730 and other models, so make sure you get the XM antenna specially made for the Zumo.

I belive the 2730 antenna is the same as the zumo!
model XM30 is all you need to look for if I'm not mistaken...?

You're right. I checked on Garmin's website, and it appears that the guy who showed me his new zumo 550 today and showed me where the xm antenna plugs in, was full of S**T.

Sorry for the confusion. Goes to show I should never trust a FJR1300 rider to know what he's talking about.
