Mounted and Wired my GPS
« on: March 06, 2009, 09:44:38 PM »
Very happy with how clean this set up came out. Went down to my local Radio Shack and purchased a low amp power plug.

A little soldering, and some power tapping from the cigarette lighter. Now all I have left to do is get the mounting bracket and hardware chromed, and I'll be good to go.

that looks great.  I am assuming that that plug is for power. Can you give a bit more detail as to the hows and parts used.  Any additional pics would be great too.

The plug in the speedo bezel is for power for my Zumo450

I pulled power from the cigarette lighter. (Yes, you have to remove the fairing)

I wanted to use a shielded, 2 wire set up. After looking all over town, and refusing to buy 25 ft. at a time for 2 ft. of project. A thought hit me, What does everyone have laying around in numerous amounts....... ! Cell Phone Chargers......
I took an old cell phone charger and cut it with a pair of wire cutters, and lo and behold......
