I had no luck googling this or on hdfs search but is there a site or how to to wire in something that would run off of a cigarette lighter??? I seen the Cigarette lighter when I bout the bike and thought sweet a power source but before plugging anything into it I read the manual and sure as **** it says its not for a power source. Has anyone used it to plug a cell phone in or something like that? Im embarrassed to say it but I bought a tomtom so I can explore some far away places and not get lost. I have factory navi in my car and love it, and I also said navi has no place on a motorcycle but low and behold here I am looking to mount one. If it can be wired in Im looking to make it clean and hidden I will honestly use it on the bike maybe twice a summer so I dont want it showing if you know what I mean. I also see the acc switch which isnt hooked up so I would imagine I could use that maybe. Thanks in advance guys.

 

I use the lighter for my heated gear but not directly wired just with the gerbing lighter adapter.

 

I would think a tomtom gps wouldnt suck as much power as heated gear. I dont wanna risk blowing a fuse on the road and not knowing what I will lose. My luck the fly by wire throttle will crap out on the HWY

 

look under your seat for an acc plug. the acc switch can be wired also

 

If you can find the appropriate adapter the acc swith is prewired and the you can find the harnase in front under the battery.&nbsp\\;

 

My GPS is wired into the back of the cigarette lighter.&nbsp\\; I spliced a second cigarette lighter socket inside the fairing.&nbsp\\; No problems.

 

your safe. buddy of mine uses his for his Gamin with no probs. he has an ultra. your navi doesnt draw a fraction of the juice your lighter would. JMO

 

I have a Zumo 550 and/or a XM using the&nbsp\\;lighter socket. No problem

 

no problem using the GPS in the lighter socket, just make sure you have a low amp fuse in the GPS line to protect it.. the one for the lighter is too high amps.

&nbsp\\;been using mine for 2 yrs with no prob
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;I got the battery tender setup for the winter when the bike's in storage.. modified the battery harness so I can plug my heated clothing into it when I'm on the road, then the battery tender when I'm home.

 

Thanks guys!! Id rather just plug into the lighter so I dont have to hard wire anything that really dont need to be permanent.
