Then you have the same setup I have been running for about 3 years now.Yep, the GMX-30 antenna came with the kit.

Someone else was under the impression that the FM transmitter was in the power cord; it is in the GPS. My 2730 is hardwired with a 2610 power cord and the FM transmitter works.$150 harness? What this harness is for?
The 2730 can be plugged directly into the AUX cable on the GL1800, at most you may need a GLI to filter out any "whining" noise. This typemof connection will give you Stereo MP3 and XM Radio (with a GXM-30).
For hardwired power A "Motorcycle kit" for the 2730 for $35 is available at http://www.mountguys.com/product_p/010-10495-00.htm This also includes the cradle you will need for a RAM mount.
As I recall the 2730 FM transmitter only works if you are also using the 12v cigarette outlet adapter that comes with the 2730.
Did you purchase the 2730 with or without the GXM-30 so you can have XM radio and XM Weather and Traffic?
It took me a while to figure out what I was doing wrong. I finally figured out that it was listing the cities/towns as waypoints. Now I use the cities/towns for quick routing, then zoom in on the town and pick the waypoint I need then delete the city/town.:shock:Use the 2730 for the first time Friday. Set up a route from my home to Louisville, MS. ...... Only issue was when I arrived at the towns I input it wanted to route me downtown and not through the city. I'm sure there is a better way. But over all I'm happy with it.
That's the way to do it. The GPS does a good job of routing but it occasionally need a bit of guidance.snip snip
In routing for the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Skyway(?) I really had to make a lot of waypoints to keep it on the pkwy; it wanted to route me onto the state highways.
As others said, the more you use it the better it works for you! :thumbup:
