I had post this info in another thread but for other's benefit I'll pop it in this Autocom thread.
I've used a fuzeblock to save messing with relays etc.
I ran two leads direct from the battery to the Fuzeblock and took the switched live from the rear accessory socket (the red and green wire). I removed the rear rack cover, rear rack and one grab handle to make access easier and used a Posi-tap.
There is surprisingly loads of room under the pillion seat (non audio RT) so velcroed (is that an actual word?) the devices in place. In my opinion it all looks tidy and works a treat.

I had my Autocon SPA installed by dealer. also had it transferred to loan K1600GTL. I bought a Bluetooth unit for this bike to connect to audio and sat nav. Worked but bypassed the magic wheel so only got loud! On RT I have fitted the Autocom switch to the speaker wires. Works well, situated switch above radio controls,looks neat and easy to operate. Wiring diagram from Autocom is vague, shows K1600 and Honda wiring, strangely Honda method works on RT. If anyone needs to know which wire colours to use I can have a look. May be difficult to photo as wiring was tight.
Autocom also produce a connection wire without the switch. Much easier to install as it can all be attached at the Alpine unit. Audio coming through the speakers when you have your headset attached is so low it cant be heard. Also half the price and no drilling required.. Had this on my previous 1600 GTL. My RT has no Alpine unit so I have had to resort to bluetooth to attach my Nav V via an Autocom Logic. As the Nav V allows you to have separate volume settings for music phone and prompts the system works very well but it does take a bit longer to change the volume setting.
Hello, I have about the same hookup as in the photos Above, However the intercom sounds very `Tinny` and very hard to understand. Wonder if anyone
has had this problem and what was done to correct it?.........Thanks!!

As Steinar confirms its most likely your speakers are not lined up properly with your ears. If you put them on your ears with the headset out of the helmet you will then know what it should sound like when you re-install it all.
Bumped into a fellow RT Forum member in Bridlington yesterday, he (sorry forgotten your username on here), was asking about locating an autocom etc. on his RT.
Said I would try to find a thread which may be helpful, hopefully this will be.

Mine goes under the rear luggage rack - with the radio under the pillion seat.
So it is. I put photo on here showing mine, can't find it though. But it goes under the pillion seat and is wired to the block at the front of the front seat.
