How to install a Garmin Zumo XT in your BMW navigator Factory mount with 3DAM adapter

Decided to fit a 3DAM adapter to the R1250R so I could run the Zumo XT on various bikes I left the 3DAM locking device off so I can still fit the connected ride cradle

[@rso1411]

I bought the new BMW Connected Navigator that came out in November 2023. I don't like it as much as my Zumo XT. On the connected ride, I can't read the streets, there is no "Home" setting, it doesn't tell you on a banner what street you're on or which street you're approaching like the Zumo does. So I ordered the 3DAM and watched your video to put it together (yours is the best on KZbin). I didn't put the locking slide on mine either. That way I can switch out and alternate between the connected ride and the Zumo, just by snapping and in or out of the cradle. Thanks for posting, it was a big help.

Hi where did ye buy that mount As i have just bought a gs &need one thanks nice vid subbed & liked 👍

[@dbubes]

Why do you use the collared washers like the Garmin instructions instead of as shown in the 3DAM installation video? Quite different!

[@bertgroothuis2419]

Is it possible to remove the Navigator bracket (the part that sticks out to the left of the 18 pins Garmin power connector)? That would make it even less bulkier.

[@joey0702]

Thank you. But where can I buy it?

[@feloniousmonk3049]

What about the voltage supplied / required by the XT vx the Nav 6 ?

[@lajostresser482]

Does it work? Are there any problems with connectivity drop outs?

Where can I order the 3DAM adapter in US?

Se podrá hacer una modificación que ese cable que va conectado a la batería de la motocicleta, lo modifique y se haga un puerto usb que sólo vaya conectado a la toma usb de la motocicleta?

No use of wonder wheel with Garmin XT

Hi, which screen are you using on the R. I mounted my XT in portrait mode one the left bar as I didn't like the position Inn the centre.

[@SonsofWhitworth]

[@TheWanderingGeezer]

You lose the wonder wheel function, correct?

Onde comprar?

[@paulgibson490]

Why bother if you want the bmw ride bracket which is shit anyway, if you want one I have one for sale very cheap.

[@jeremycanning8934]

Don't do it. Garmin Zumo is an awful sat nav

[@MarcosPC6]

why u say that?

[@jeremycanning8934]

@@MarcosPC6 bloody awkward to use. Base camp just as bad. Can't use third party speed camera database. When you edit a route on the device you can't save it. Couldn't share a route with my mate. We both had the same settings and they had different routes. And so it goes on. Three years I've had it and it's just shit

[@MarcosPC6]

@@jeremycanning8934 I assume these must be also true for the OEM Navigator 6? as its also made by garmin

[@jeremycanning8934]

Jermey, what do you recommend instead?
