12v + USB on Dash

[jthornton]

JT – Nice product. I just checked the specs on your webpage but I did not see the current (amps) going to both connections. Is the USB a dual port? I currently use your products for my GoPro and iPhone 6 and it would be great if I could have both devices plugged in via USB.

The ones I have now are single USB and rated at 12v @ 10 amp and 5v at 2.1 amp. I have some dual USB on order but they take forever to show up sometimes.

12v tap in frunk

Well---- I had to look?
Found the rubber plug/cover but no loose wires benind it?? There was a plug with wires in it though-- but what is it for??

But, as one thing always leads to another, I found the negative cable hard on to the positive terminal of the batt. The + terminal didn't have the red cover on it ( it was further up the cable). Fixed that but no wires to hook an accessory up to.

pull out the plug & tucked inside are those wires with those female paddle connectors on them...covered in vasoline or something....

fired up the Spyder & put a meter on it...the BLACK one reads 12v+

dug up a female cig lighter socket & crimped on some paddle terminals I had (kinda convenient being an electronics packrat sometimes) & used it to run my GPS all day today (YAY!) with the wire coming up out of the frunk & under the windshield to the GPS....which is jammed into the X-clamp from JT on his mount

there actually IS an OEM socket for this...

supposedly they're cheaper on ebay....I just haven't looked very hard

Got the Dual USB + 12v in stock... but the mount is different so I have to design a new mount for that one.

I'll look deeper!!

Thanks frelancr,

I'll look deeper this time. I just added a 12v socket to the side of the pillon seat next to the grablhandles.(there is a removeable plug with nothing behind it. I milled it out to fit a 12v socket, ran wires to the trunk and a 12v plug to go into the existing socket. Now my wife can plug in her Garmin easily. I don't care for it on the dash.

To much stuff on the dash causes me::

other 12v socket installed

Thanks to frelancr I also installed a 12v socket in the frunk. Easy enough to do once the "hood" and battery were removed. Removed a small amount of the battery access opening ( at the lower corners) and the battery comes out easily. I used a socket with two mail spade lugs and it's plug and play.

Thanks again frelancr!!:bowdown:

RS 12V

JT, any thoughts/plans to expand into RS territory??? I know there are not as many of us as the RT brethren; but your products are top notch and sensibly priced. Would love to see a mount bar at the least for the RS crowd!!hyea::bowdown:

here's what i did to my RS...

i have one on each side... and use them for my Battery Tender....

Hope you didn't remove too much material there and compromise the seal of the battery cover. Otherwise you may get water in the frunk. Things get wet back there in the rain!

JT - Can you let us know how the bracket turned out? Some of the guys in this thread have some good ideas but I'm not the type for drilling into the dash.

Hi Jack

FYI.....Hey guys, great info about other locations but you are unintentionally hijacking JT's thread.

The bracket for the 12v + USB is done and works perfect with the Dash Mount Bar. The bracket for the 12v + Dual USB will be the same but different and I should have them ready this week :yikes: I know I never say when something will be done but I'm close to having them ready so I'll go out on a limb and say this week.

What is the output on the two USB ports for the Dual?

Less that a sq. inch

I scribed the cornors with a tile marking pencil ( in yellow--- it wipes right off) and stayed well away from it. Just took a little off the cornors. Battery removal was EASY.

Besides----- It dosent rain in Northern Nevada----It snowes

Hi JT -

I see that have began to list the dual USB + 12 V Power adapters on your website but are "Out of Stock". BTW, I’m in for one.

Do you have a picture of the Quick Connect like there is of the Spade connectors?
Are you referring to a connector similar to the battery tender connector in the frunk; like those on 14’ RTL’s?
Does the unit have the red power on/off switch on top?
Being that it is a dual unit, how many holes does it cover up on the Dash Mount?

Thanks
- John

I have them in stock but I'm working on the mount for the 12v + Dual USB, as soon as they are done I'll release them for ordering.

I'll get a photo up of the quick connects, they are the male 1/4" type that would plug into a female 1/4" quick connect.

The Dual USB has an on/off switch on top.

It still uses only one hole on the Dash Mount.
