    Default where to connect accessories

    I have a 2012 RSS and want to connect a gps, cb and accessory lights. Where is the best place to make the power connect for these devices.

    I'm not sure about the GPS ( unless it just needs 12v dc ) but I would add a separate fuse block and then use that for power …… Mike

    I have a 2013 ST. Essentially the same electrical setup as the RSS. My battery is in the frunk.
    As Mike recommended. Installed a separate fused fuse block wired directly into the battery. Set up a relay
    to control the block to be on with the ignition key. The new Fuse block is under the tupperware in front of the seat.
    I run all my accessories into this block.
    Tom Tom GPS, Cree Driving Lights, BMW style socket for Heated gear connection, USB ports, Voltmeter and DIY Grip heaters.
