Tom Tom Rider 2 / Sirius Radio Stratus 6

[jlreeves]

I got a new GPS which has XM in it so I have this left over. It was all working when I uninstalled it. Everything you need to add GPS and satellite radio to your bike and car.

$200 - Tom Tom Rider 2 with a complete hard wired bike kit, RAM mount, Scala Rider Bluetooth headset, manual, etc.

$100 - Sirius Stratus 6 satellite radio bike kit including antenna, inline harness, RAM Mount. Also included is a car kit including the inline wiring harness, antenna harness and upgraded FM tuner. This works great plugged into the Scala Rider headset while riding or move the head to your car and listen through your FM radio.

Buy both and I will sell for $225 and throw in a RAM mount aqua box and another RAM mount.

I'm in the process of restoring a trunk and still need a Wompus rack and Mustang smooth extended arm back seat. Wanna trade? I'm up for a deal...

How about we split UPS shipping cost which I will calculate up front. I will take payment via PayPal.

IM if interested.

I might be interested in both. Can you program your own route on the Tom Tom?

Yes you can. The itinerary planner is actually easier than the Garmin IMHO. You can also hook it to your computer when doing routes. I've created some routes using other programs like MapPoint and imported them into the GPS too.

Would love to have this.. I've been running a Garmin nuvi 255 car gps, but with no bluetooth it's sometimes hard to know when the turn is coming..LOL

But I just bought an Ultimate seat setup and have to pay for that first.. :-)

Garmin Zumo 665. I am very pleased with it so far. It replaced several different road gadgets and does what it says. XM radio, MP3 library, phone interface (though I don't usually use it) and all the Garmin GPS features like the lane advisor, etc. Has wired or bluetooth interfaces for sound and phone control. It interfaces with my Cardo Scala Rider Q2 headsets very nicely. It included a hard wired bike dock and a dash stand for car use.

I use it with my bike, truck and RV. It sets its mode and features depending on what vehicle its docked in, for example no dirt roads in bike mode or in RV mode it has POIs loaded which warn/reroute me around any bridges lower than my vehicle height.

One of the most impressive things is the real time satellite traffic avoidance. It has saved my butt several times from 2-3 hour highway stops by automatically sending me around before I got there.

The real time satellite weather works OK. Its range is set real far by default so until you zoom it in you will get warnings for stuff happening too far away to actually affect you. I have had it calculate I would drive through a thunderstorm and offer to reroute and had it tell me that the NWS had issued a tornado warning for the area I was travelling in.

They cost a lot, too much for me to buy new but there are really good deals on refurbs for less than half the original cost. They give the same warranty as a new one. Its packaged just like a new one and seems to work fine. I read about problems back when they were originally released but I haven't seen any of them. I thought about getting another antenna for the bike so I didn't have to relocate but man, the antenna is $250 itself. I figure I will just learn to move it for $250

Thanks. Will keep looking, but yet to find as good a deal on a refurb than you got. No way would pay 800, and least have found is 600...I like the sound of under 400 LOL
