Zumo 660

[aljaxon]

just bought a zumo 660 and am bluetoothing it to a scala g9 headset.
I have a question and ive tried to join the zumo forum but am still awaiting acceptance from the mods (they obviously know me!! )
so thought I would ask it on here just in case anyone else can help.
I never listen to music whilst riding and am always berating my pal who does all the time and has it that loud he cant hear us talk to him
anyway ive put some music on the 660 but the audio quality coming through the g9 is rubbish because by default it does gps in mono. so I believe.
i think ive tried pairing them on the zumo searching for audio and also phone but I still get mono.
the zumo sometimes asks me if I want to change the default pass key 1234 to the scalas 0000 but other times when ive tried removing it and starting again it doesn't.
to be honest its confusing me.
so how do I get stereo decent quality music from the zumo via my g9? anyone done this?
cheers

Make sure that you record soundtracks into your library at the highest quality option, it works fine on my 660  :yes 

I don't know about the Scala link tho

OC, for some reasons, even at 356kbs, I always have problems with the music library, I think it corrupts the firmware.
Each time I downloaded library I started to have problems, so now, I no longer put music on my zumo...

I always downgrade our MP3s to 160kbps CBR when transferring them to a Zumo. They occupy less space and with all the other noise going on when I'm riding the bike I can't tell the difference between those and 320kbps (I'm not at all certain I could always discern the difference if there wasn't a lot of noise if I'm honest).

Its clearly a case of trial and error, the system of loading into my music library works fine with my set up. that's not to say it will work in all cases, others on here will no doubt be able to advise better

TBH I really am not an expert with these things

I think the scala g9  only connects to gps in mono and the ad2p connection whatever it is =stereo is reserved for mp3 players etc. so songs on my zumo come out as mono.
