Is the audio quality noticeably better with the XT?

Well I ended up buying a Nav 6 on Ebay for 368 Euro's, I could not resist

The new BMW Connected Ride phone cradle at about 250 Euros is surely a far better proposition than any new or used Nav VI. Use your own phone with BMW's free connected ride app with wonder wheel integration. Carry only one device with you. Seems like a no brainer to me. Eventual master of the obvious |

Zitat von Steady Eddie im Beitrag #20 I agree. I feel sorry for the WunderLINQ company. Their business may dry up now.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #19Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #18Zitat von maxredline im Beitrag #17 I am open  to open source but am not sure where to begin with that other than "search". It looks like I can download them directly from Garmin and load with Garmin Express.Maps are $100 so I am still below the average cost of a used north American unit and will have updated maps.

Zitat von Steady Eddie im Beitrag #20 No brainer if you rely on cell phone coverage.

Zitat von maxredline im Beitrag #22Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #19Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #18Zitat von maxredline im Beitrag #17 I did it on an old Garmin device that they no longer supported with updates - worked well and was easy following guidance on the UKGSer forum.

Zitat von maxredline im Beitrag #23Zitat von Steady Eddie im Beitrag #20 Neither the BMW cradle or the WunderLINQ rely on cell phone coverage. Bothe use nav apps with pre loaded maps.

Zitat von Steady Eddie im Beitrag #25Zitat von maxredline im Beitrag #23Zitat von Steady Eddie im Beitrag #20 Yes, exactly. The two arguments I've heard against the cradle are vibration damage to the phone and in the event you come off the bike, it might be better to have your phone on your person, not the bike. It looks like my job is giving me a work phone. So to make lemonade out of that pile of crap, I'll use the work phone in the cradle and keep my personal phone in my pocket.

Does anyone know if there's an adapter from the nav6 cradle to a zumo xt? One that just plugs into the Nav holder and will have power supplied by that cradle without having to rewire, reroute anything? |
