Hi folks.
I have a 2011 R1200RT with a Navigator V.
I want to be able to use it in my 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. It has a 3.5mm Audio input jack to possibly use for music in the GPS.
I've found a few options, but not sure which one to choose. Others say that the mounts for the Garmin 660 & 665 will fit the Nav V.
Mount with Integrated Power Cable Garmin pn 010-11270-03

Will the Navigator V send stereo out to vehicle radio, or only map turn by turn announcements ? If no music, then not much point in connecting to the vehicle audio system.
Suction Cup mount pn 010-11270-02

I think I've read that this one does not have a built in speaker, so no announcements.
I read somewhere, that there is a similar item pn 010-11274-21 which has a built in speaker, for map announcements only.
I think you need to order the appropriate cigarette lighter power cable for this one.
BMW has a kit 77528544460 which includes the suction mount and power cable. But probably a lot more $.
Any recommendations on which is the best option would be appreciated.
