Garmin zumo 665Specifications: Introduced: January 2010 What's in the Box: * Garmin zumo 665 *City Navigator North America NT DVD included in North American version. Owner Reviews Amazon By John Galt "adadeda", June 9, 2010 Purchased a 665 a month ago. Third day of use the XM tuner would not connect to the unit. Turns out the cable is faulty and is being redesigned by Garmin. After numerous phone calls and emails with Garmin product support, they can't tell me when the problem will be fixed. Currently, I have over $1000 into the unit, the XM doesn't work, and Garmin can't tell me when it will be fixed. Don't buy unless you can be assured the cabling has been fixed. By P. Grace "paul_grace", May 17, 2010 The 665 is just about perfect for its intended application, open-air motor navigation w/ XM radio. Pros: Cons: I can only give this 4 stars since it won't support the headphone profile for my smartphone. I like to stream radio while I'm driving long distances but I can't with this GPS. There are also some nits to pick with the user interface (such as not remembering the map zoom after a power off) but it is a superb GPS for motorcycles and open-air autos.
