hi everyone i have on my rt the electric frunk opener i also use the ips key cover so when i leave the bike i leave the ips key in it, but sometimes i leave the bike parked for long periods of time and the bike will not be seen. so this is what i am thinking of doing so instead of carrying the bib ips key i could lock it in the frunk and use a remote to open it. i found this on line http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-OFF-SWITCH-FLASH-LED-LIGHTING-WIRELESS-REMOTE-CONTROL-RM02-/200856805132#vi-content and i figured if i just supply 12 volts to the relay it will open the frunk so all i need to do is carry the remote fob, what do you think

Sounds good to me. You could have a spare key blank cut just for opening your "runk". You can then put your IPS in the "runk" and lock it with your small spare key.

My Spyder came with two keys ............................... one is in the IPS and the other is in a lanyard around my neck so i can put the IPS key in the rear trunk and lock it up when the bike is parked outside of my shop.

Personally, I wouldn't do it. With all the Battery problems the RT has !!!!, if you don't have juice ....It won't open.....Mike

But if you carry a "Blank" key that'll turn the gintion switch; you can just use it to open up the Frunk and retrieve your IPS-equipped chipped key...

it would be east to do just wire one wire from the relay to the power of the frunk wire and the other to the battery through the relay so when you hit the remote it will supply power to the power opener and pop the frunk and of coarse a in line fuse will be needed

They don't really... ;)
If you're not putting a lot of extra lighting on to strain the charging system...
If you keep your revs up so that the magneto gets a chance to strut it's stuff... (Over 4,000 rpm...)
You'll be just fine! :thumbup:

That doesn't appear to be an instant on/off popper switch. You would have to hit "on" then "off" with the key fob otherwise it's gonna keep juicing your trunk solenoid

Go for it, I have a 2008 gm PE# 301 and have a electric frunk opener and remote control for it,
also have a electric solenoid for reverse was install over 5 years ago and never had a problem with battery, your ignition switch still works the same. :thumbup:

that one is for lights they do have momentary contact ones that will work i just used that as a example

Depending on how long your spyder sits without using it the battery could be dead. Wireless receivers have to have power all of the time so they can receive the signal from the transmitter.

Mike, I don't think that it is a big deal.
Pop the seat up and connect a jumper.

Roger you are correct it 's not a BIG deal..............and you connect a jumper to what ...........your WALLET or the EXTRA battery you carry for EMERGENCY'S :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflb lack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:.........ple ase this getting toooooooooooooooooo funny:clap::clap::clap::yes::yes::yes::thumbup:

Mike,

I think a personal assistant to carry the IPS might be a better option. They could also follow in a car with all the tools necessary in case of a breakdown. Oh, wait a minute, that would be called a personal driver/personal assistant.

Commonly called a "chauffeur."
