Hi All.... I have a 2015 RT-S. I added the iPhone Mount - Can-Am Spyder Center Mount from Leader Motorcycle and it works great.

I want to able to charge the phone while its in the mount and riding, but there is no power source near by.

Any ideas or tips to get this done? I am not one to wrench on motorcycle or car because I never really have done it before.

I see an open spot on the dash between the grip warmers toggle and the suspension toggle

Thanks for the help in advance

If you have a battery tender (which I highly recommend), then you could get the USB or the 12-volt cigarette lighter hookup. Amazon has both for a decent price.

- Battery Tender 081-0158 Black Quick Disconnect Plug with USB Charger
- Battery Tender 081-0069-8 Female Cigarette Adaptor for Quick Disconnect

I would also recommend the extension cable to run from your battery to the frunk or handlebars

-Battery Tender 081-0148-25 25' Quick Disconnect Extension Cable


Another Option: (The way I have it) is via the fuzeblock. I made my charger a switched power source that when I turn on my bike, it powers my phone.

Main thing is to try to keep the charger separate than your Electrical system on the Sypder. The Spyder is very sensitive!

Also make sure you have the appropriate fuse to avoid issues down the road.
