Connecting GPS

[bjmstar82]

I recently bought a Zumo 550 GPS system, and I am trying to connect it to my 07' RSTD. I was hoping someone here might have a suggestion as to where to connect the wires. The owners manual talks about the auxiliary connector under the seat near the battery, but i didn't know if that could be used in this situation. I'm not the greatest with electrical components. Any advice? Thanks

Sure you can connect it there or any place that is switched on and off with the ignition switch (aux position) if you want the GPS to turn On and Off automatically. If you go directly to the battery it will still work just fine but it will not turn on and off automatically.

Thanks, I'll have to try that and see what happens.

That's where I connected mine under the seat, it is a little more work taking the tank off and running the wires properly. I also put the OEM in line fuse there too so it would be easy to get to. The fuse for that circuit is in the fairing I believe so the smaller fuse on the Zumo should go first if anything does happen.
