Is there anyway to have the sound from a Garmin 350lm go to the Harley Boombox speakers ?

Can't be done. I tried every which way with my 590LM. I called Garmin and Harley. Boombox has proprietary software and only the HD Roadtech will work with the system. You can wire in the electrical and do the visual thing but that about it. Luckily my 590LM has bluetooth and output for a headphone. I use a single headphone set for the voice
directions.

Like Nuc said can only do this with the Harley Road Tech versions of the Garmin GPS units . . . and even then it requires some hooking up to make it work since it is not supported natively by the Boom Box. Learned what to do a couple years ago and had my Garmin Road Tech Zumo 590 hooked up to pass prompts through the Boom Box on my '17 CVO Limited and now I have it working on my 2018 Tri-Glide.
If you want to spring for a Road Tech Zumo model I'll be glad to get the hook up details to you.
Hmmm..... I guess my question is: Why bother with the time, effort, and expense of adding a Garmin GPS when you already have the factory Nav system built into the BoomBox? I had a Harley Road Tech Zumo on my '09 Ultra and I really don't see where it was superior to the BoomBox Nav system other than the factory system doesn't show the speed limit.
And every waypoint is a stop on the boombox: so you have three choices to get by it. 1) stop the nav and restart to next waypoint 2) by pass the waypoint going through several menus while you riding. 3) keep driving until the boombox passes to the next waypoint (hopefully you will not have missed a turn), because this takes awhile for the boombox awhile to figure this out.
If you going from point A to B, no problem with boombox but if you have multiples a, b, c, and d destinations. Big problem as described.
Garmin put in twenty waypoints, pass one and it immediately goes to next waypoint with little interference or you having to negotiate with the program. Way simpler and easy.
Garmin has my vote every time!
