Great little video guys.
Thanks bud! Cheers, Jesse
Nice Install !!
Thanks Kevin! I tried to make it super clean. It has been working great. The garmins have never let us down. Cheers, Mike
Nice work on this install video. The new G5 GB extension looks great and nice to see. I run the GB extension on my Mach Z(G4) with the cell phone holder which works nicely too. I have been running the automotive Garmins for 8 years now on all my sleds and those cheaper models have never had any issue with cold temps or freezing screens as commented below. I have been running a Drivesmart 66(6 inch) the past two seasons with perfect success. I have always mounted my Garmins on the riser clamp bolts for ease of use and close viewing.
Thanks for the great video showing this all. I have got so many questions about wiring over the years on dootalk it's nice to see a video for everyone showing the solenoid clearly. I can't tell you how many times I see people running the hot wire to one side and ground to other side of solenoid, and wonder why it does not work properly! Always run ground wire to chassie guys. Nice work. -Rockerdan
Thanks for watching Dan! I probably got that tip from you years ago on Dootalk :-) I used to run the NUVI's and never had issues either. Garmin make great products - I don't think you can go wrong with any of them but I doo love this new Zumo XT. The display is crisp and its fast. I used to run them on the bars, but it's not as good of a view compared to running it on the glovebox. I don't want to look down - I want the GPS in my line of sight. That's the beauty of the Polaris gauge and even this new 10.25" display on my 850 is night and day better but having the Garmin on the glovebox is the perfect spot. Cheers buddy, Mike
@@sledaddicz I hear ya, i do like my cell phone heated holder and it's position high and center. I typically don't have to watch GPS but when coming to intersection ect. I do like to tap on it at times though which is one drawback of the newer automotive(Drivesmart) series since they are all now capacitive touch(like a smartphone). My older 2797 and even Nuvi's in that respect was nice with the pressure touch system. But wow the clear glass screen is so much more hi res then the old matte screens. Garmin certainly does all this best. I really love that newest Zumo, it has a cool MP3 feature too which i love and can hold up to 1000 mp3 files if I recall, nice for music! I just had wished for a larger zumo(7" would be sweet spot for sled IMO) but likely wont happen as most Motorcycle guys want this 5.5 ish size for mounting to their bikes.
I did find buds new 10.25 screen when plugged in to smartphone/BRP GO app looks really nice! Large screen for GPS toward right side, and works well in and out of service(Must DL maps ahead of time for area). Ride sharing is OK at best, as service is in/out it gets annoying seeing buddy pop on/off. LOL
But in the end, DOO needs to simply add an antenna and corresponding software(ala Polaris) to bring the experience to where it needs to be. I just hope it doesnt take as long for this last step as it did waiting for LED headlights...lol
Keep up the great work Mike!😁
I have the same setup on my G5 Blizzard well worth the money and it’s saved my bacon a few times. Especially when you are running the northern trails at 50k 😇
Right on! It's a great setup. Mike
I have the same Garmin Zuma XT. I did a video installing mine into a Aqua Box because I found when the temps get in the single digits, the screen begins to drop colors or starts to freeze up. Being in the Aqua Box, the unit stays warm under it's own heat a tad longer. If it's really bad, I have room to put in hand warmer packets on each side. I did ride last weekend in the Polar Vortex temps of -14F for a high, zero issues with the screen that day, hands though....another story.
If your going to use a Micro SD card with maps already installed, you will need to go into Setting, Maps, MyMaps, turn off all the maps Garmin has put in and leave on only trail maps. You may or may not see a double "Snowmobile Trails" maps, both should be selected.
Lastly DO NOT LEAVE THE GARMIN ON THE SLED OUTSIDE OVERNITE!! I made that mistake with my Zumo XT Garmin. The screen froze up and did not show correctly. Otherwise, it's a great unit!!!
Hmm we have used our garmins in -40C before and it's never frozen or let us down. Yep we know all about the mapping as we pre plan all our trips and have them on the gps ready to go. Interesting that it froze over night - I wouldn't know because I've always brought it inside. To expensive to leave on the sled. Cheers, Jesse
I have the extension that is heated,but I noticed you mounted it on the outside? I also have the same Garmin ,but I Iam mounting it on a 2022 Renegade 900R. Iam now thinking I should do it this way too with that same mounting attachment that came with the Garmin. I always thought I should power it that way also. Going to take another look at for sure. Great video.
Thanks Bruce. Yes, you mount it on the outside of the glovebox door. Cheers Mike
Great video, want to get one for my gen 4,I mostly ride in NB, Quebec and rely on the federation phone app gps maps (which I am very happy with) can I use those maps on the Garmin?
Yep. You can order them through Radioworld and use the code SLEDADDICZFS23 for free shipping! Mike
I use the same Zumo XT, great GPS for snowmobiling. Will this unit fit the Gen 4 glove box extension as well?
Yes it will. Cheers, Mike
what gage is the wire on the fuse holder you used? great video thanks for sharing it!
Hmm that's a good question. I'm not sure. I just bought a standard battery tender cable from Canadian tire. Cheers, Jesse
Great video, thanks for sharing….wondering on a Gen4 if connecting a Zumo xt2 electrical off the BRP plug under the glove box currently used for my USB outlet (via a splitter) would work as opposed to connecting down to the solenoid?
Thanks
Hey Kevin. Yes that would totally work. I think we talk about this in the video, but the main reason we don't use the ski-doo plug n play connections for our GPS's is because when you turn off the sled the gps loses power and will likely turn off soon after. Often times I look at my gps at the side of the trail when we are stopped and thats why we wire it to the battery for consistent power. We just take it off at lunch and at the end of the day to not drain the battery. Been running this setup for the past 7 years on 10 different sleds and it works great. Cheers, Jesse
@@sledaddicz awesome, thank you
Is there still the option to keep the heated pouch for the cell phone with the glovebox extension and gps? Great video
Yup! Our heated pouch is in our glovebox still. Just disconnected it from the stock glovebox lid and it sits on the floor of our glovebox now. Still holds our phones. Cheers, Jesse
Great video. So this Garmin Zumo XT does not need to been in a weatherproof enclosure ? Also the part that permanently mounts to the glove box comes with the Garmin or is it a separate purchase? Thanks again
That's correct. It's a nice unit and fully sealed. The part that mounts to the glove box comes in the box. Cheers, Mike
@@sledaddicz Thank you !
What was the previous version of Garmin you were running? I've got Rev-XS and need GPS. The Zuma specs for use and charging have temps above what we ride in, but I assume you've not had issues with the older one or this XT?
All garmins will work for you. I used to run a Garmin Montana 650T on the rev XS but after running the Zumo that would be my suggestion. Bigger screen and quicker speed. The Zumo will work in even the most intense of temperatures. I have ridden countless times in -40C and the Zumo never skipped a beat. Cheers, Jesse
If you pull the 10.25 screen out there is a 12 volt 2 wire plug back there.
Yes but unfortunately that defeats the purpose.. The reason we wire it to the solenoid is so it has constant power, that way when we turn off our sled on the side of the trail the GPS doesn't shut off. Cheers, Jesse
Hey that is awesome. One question will it work for atv
Hey Wade! Yup, absolutely. It will work for almost any vehicle. Cheers, Jesse
Nice video Mike ,
What size screen is that?
I am going on trip this Thursday from Searchmont to Wawa & what mapping card do you use & where can I get it ? I use the track maps is that a good one?
If you have any pointers on that run to Wawa, please let me know I would appreciate it !!
First time on the D trail baby !! Thanks to you guys I’m going to do it & im so stoked!!!
Awesome! What are you doing for gas now that halfway is closed? Trakmaps is the only one. It is good and there are no other mapping for ontario. Screen size on the zumo is 5.5". I would love to say I have advice but not really as it's just the TOP D directly from search mont to wawa. It's a great trail. Have a great trip bro! Cheers, Jesse
@@sledaddicz I’m going to bring a 6 gallon tank strapped on the back I think that should be enough, my Jerry can doesn’t hold that much
Thanks for the reply Jesse
Hopefully Mother Nature is better next year!!
Cheers !!
@@sledaddicz also where did you purchase the gps ? & what was the price tag on it? I have a 7”& it works great but I’m on my 3rd screen I’m gonna see if I can trade it in somehow for that one…
Great way to hook it up too I’m definitely gonna change mine, what a pain in the but when you turn the machine off.

Can you put a parts list in the description with links? Zumo® XT 5.5" Motorcycle Navigator but do you need to buy the Motorcycle Mount Bracket? Maybe you could list the unit, the card required for the trails, the glove box extension, if theres a bracket required and the automotive connector bought at crappy tire.
Hey Matt. The zumo xt comes with almost everything you need. Depending on where you live, there are different providers of the maps. Trakmaps (trakmaps.com) does most of Canada. The glovebox extension is available on ski-doo's website if you just search it (ski-doo.com). No bracket is required - that all comes with the gps. The connectors are a bit tougher as we have lots of stuff in the garage so just put some stuff together. Let me know if you have any other questions! Always happy to help. Cheers, Jesse
Nice Install on the Gen5 Sled. I guess you never got the Tablet working ?
Thanks! Nothing worked to keep the tablet from freezing and turning off below -20C. We tried heated elements to keep it warm and it just didn't work so we reverted back to our Garmin units which we love. Cheers, Jesse
Just wondering if any one has any suggestions for a problem I have with my Garmin sumo xt ? Had the Ontario snowmobile trails installed on my Garmin and now when I go to use it the map isn’t there anymore. The sd card is properly installed and all other maps that came with the Garmin are in checked? Any suggestions would appreciated.
Hey Bruce. Go to settings, find my maps, and make sure all maps are turned off and the only one turned on is trakmaps. That should do it. Let me know if that helps! Cheers, Jesse
Hey you think the 6 inch XT 2 will fit?
Not sure.. Does it use the same mount as a zumo XT? The XT takes up most of the area so my thought is an XT2 would be too big and you wouldn't be able to open the door all the way.
Can someone put a link for the extension and the garmin for me? I like this setup but I have a 2014 ski doo renegade x 600 revxs. Not sure this will fit. I'm a super noob amd already sick of using my pocket phone lol. I live in Sudbury Ontario and she gets real cold here lol. -30c is regular.
Sure! Rev XS Glovebox extension: 860200707 (thats the part # from skidoo - just call your dealer to order it or you can buy it online at skidoo.com/ca)

@Sledaddicz awesome man thanks.
Would you go Zumo XT or the Zumo XT2?
Definitely the Zumo XT2. It wasn't out yet when we bought our XT. Cheers, Jesse
Christopher from Ottawa the unit how does it work when temp -15 or 20, I cures use garwmin 15 year old gamin 60 count that gives me turn by
turn directions using track map showever like your with larger display, however how do you like, touch screen buttons,mine of course has real buttons, by way do you loose GPS signal in heavy bush, wish had known you were going g to Mt Laurierwouldhaveloved to limkup with you folks,Christopher Ottawa
Hey Chris. Our GPSs work in all temps - I have used them in -40C and never had any issue. The touch screen is fantastic - no need for real buttons, have lost signal in the bush a few times but it comes back in a minute or two. Cheers, Jesse
The new 10”Skidoo display doesn’t have an on board GPS like the Polaris 7s display? Polaris 7s doesn’t have to be connected to a phone for the gps to work, it’s built into the unit. If skidoo’s is not like that it’s a huge miss by them.
Thats correct. Word is that this will be improved and likely incorporated into the gauge in future years. Cheers, Jesse
Thanks for the reply, Jesse. I hope they do, it’s needed. I still think skidoo probably makes the best sled out there but, like you guys, I’ve also ridden the Polaris Matryx and that is a really fun sled. I was very impressed. Take care.
It's funny, but sad, that we now have such a big screen on the doos, but they can't add a built-in GPS for it yet.
yep. Skidoo is on it and it will be an option for 2025 models. Even if they do incorporate BRP GO into the gauge I will still use the garmin tho. There really isnt anything better - it fits nicely into the design, its super robust, and it hasnt failed me in 50,000 kms of usage. Cheers, Jesse
@@sledaddicz what do you mean? The 10.25 gauge you have there already has gps in it? Why are you installing this other gps? In 2025 what are they adding since they already have it now lol. Sorry if I am misunderstanding what your saying. My 23 remegade had same gauge and it had BRP go or whatever that worked great? Unless your talking about BRP is adding a phone less gps in 2025. That would be awesome and hopefully you can get an over the air update and maybe by a module that plugs in the back for $200 to make it work like the Polaris 7s lol. Like it should of from the start to be honest…
@xGR1MxREAPERx yes brp is planning on incorporating the gps into the display without ur phone hopefully for MY25. In terms of why I like the garmin better, I would suggest watching some of the garmin or brp go videos we put out as I really go in depth into my reasons. Cheers, Jesse
@@sledaddicz gotcha.. 👍🏼. Is this something an update to our current 23-24 sleds can get or would be need to buy a new gauge/module for that to work like that I wonder? I’ve seen some of your videos about it but not one about it by itself I’ll try to find it thanks.
@@xGR1MxREAPERx unfortunately it won't be a software update or something u can upgrade. It will likely only be available on 2025 sleds and newer
Skidoo wants you to buy more stuff from them bandits...
Lol the funny part is that this doesn't come from skidoo..
