After Switched Power for GPS - Any reason not to use gas/temp gauge power?
Hello,
I'm moving my GPS to above the dashboard on my 2017 RTL. Last step is to power the unit. Looks like attaching the GPS leads to either the gas or temp gauge would be pretty easy. Any reason not to? Don't want to awaken any "undocumented features." Thanks in advance for any help. I would hope the gauges have labeled their pos and neg terminals.

No luck with this post in the RT - Touring Forum, thought I'd try here.

So let me take a shot at this, there should be a GPS wire already on the right side to plug into. I'm not sure about the 2017 dash but I don't think the gages will have enough power for the GPS. So maybe someone can tell you more about the 2017 GPS wire location on the right side if you are using a Garmin.

At the risk of being a dummy (never bothered me before), does the right side mean when sitting on the Spyder?

Just so I fully disclose all relevant data, I play my music and get voice commands wirelessly through a Sena 20S.
