Re: SiriusXM radio

I'm a retired ASE master auto tech, and did a LOT of mods to the Valk. Best was installing a belly tank. Designed and sold by a guy in Moses Lake WA. It gives you an extra 3.5 gals of fuel, fully automatic and aesthetically invisible!

Re: SiriusXM radio

Great insight! Thanks! I got the XM antenna used for the cost of shipping so I may try the bottom tier subscription to see if I like it before upgrading. I like your bike choices! I had a 98 Valk, then a 98 Wing SE. Now im on a BMW R1150RT!

Re: zumo 550 traffic reciever

That's what I found also, but that's for a XM subscription. I'll go that way if need be, but it also states A GTM-20, I have two, one with the mini USB that is used with older nuvi's and the same unit that plugs into the automotive mount, which works as it should. I can't find any pictures of the ca...

Re: transfering files from internal storage to SD card

I was talking about the GTM-60 traffic receiver used to get traffic updated. It also has the same usb plug, but it cant be connected via the data transfer port under the bottom cover. There is a second input port on the side of the cradle mount when the Zumo is installed.

Re: transfering files from internal storage to SD card

Like I stated, I'm a total lost to all this and need a hand holder. So to delete the excess files, where do I begin? I can open up the Zumo on my PC, and see tons of file but how do I determine what's priority for the system to work and what can be taken out to the trash? I'm grateful for your patie...
