• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

12v outlet in/on a RS-S

in the frunk on ours. can't help you on the other, as I took the easy way out and had the dealer do it! :thumbup:
 
The wires for the frunk outlet are tied up around the left front shock mount. Buy the $30 outlet from brp. The instructions are spot on and even include the template to drill the hole on the frunk.
 
First I added a fuse block which can hold up to six devices switched or on unswitched. One of those is my outlet

Good point, it was actually more difficult than you think... I had to edit to get that. My tablet changed frunk to drunk...[emoji6]

I have a Battery Tender plug connected to my battery (the battery on a 2013 is in the trunk/frunk/drunk whatever you want to call it) and I bought a 12v outlet that plugs into it.

photo 1.jpgphoto 2.jpgHere is the best way to add a power outlet to your Spyder
you can see it is on sale right now. mine works just fine i installed it in the dash, the wiring that comes
with it is plenty long enough to go from the battery to the dash with extra... it is fused as well this way you
bypass the Spyders electrical system.

Has anyone put a 12v outlet on a RS-S and if so how and where? :)
 
12V ADAPTER

I have a 2011 RS with the outlet in the OEM trunk location. After checking the outlet I found that it is switched. I would like to use this to plug in my battery tender. Can anyone tell me which fuse is used and can I move it so that the outlet is always hot.

Thanks

At a guess...

If you open the frunk lid theres a black plastic cover above the top of the frunk. Remove that by pulling it. Behind that on the right as you look at the front of the spyder is a fuse box. Remove the cover of the fuse box and it has a diagram of the fuses. There will be 2 spare auxillary points, one switched, one not. My guess is your outlet has been wired to the switched one - you'll probably find that has a fuse while the nonswitched one doesn't. From there you'll need to work out how to switch the connection over to the unswitched one, and the fuse of course. Just be careful if you try and put the fuse box out to look at the connections because the sides are very fragile.

Again I say this is a guess because its switched as everyone seems to wire these up differently.
 
Thanks for the reply, Piston. After doing a ride today and checking and topping off the oil after returning, I took a look at the fuse box and receptacle. Not being an electrician, my knowledge of it is that it hurts when you stick your finger in a socket, I decided to leave well enough alone and attach the battery tender to the terminals under the seat. I can get to them easy enough and if the weather holds I can get the tender pigtail attached to the terminals.
