Switched live feed enquiry

Post by Tony Fyson »

Hi
I recently purchased an RT1250, after decades of riding my VFRs, and am impressed with the comfort.
However, as I have a new TomTom satnav, I would like to use it with the RT. In this connection, is there a live feed connection that I can tap into, to power the TomTom?
Thanks
Tony.

Hi


I have the 2016 model  but used a feed from the auxiliary socket on the right hand faring cover.  I have mounted my tomtom where the  Garmin unit mounts.  I removed the Garmin cradle and mounted the tomtom device using the same 4 threaded holes, but from the rear, so I had to remove the screen and the top panel
Picture shown is for the 2015 tomtom  but my rider 550 is mounted in the same place.  I have used the feed from the aix socket as a switched feed for a relay which then  controls the power from the battery to a fuse box to several accessories

Hi Exportman

Many thanks for your reply.  Is there a wiring diagram available for the RT1250, to facilitate me identifying the auxiliary socket?
Or is there a photograph available of this socket?

Many thanks.
Tony.
