• 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.

Accessory power at key on

with out cutting open all of the accessory power lines does any one know if any thing else is hot besides the GPS connector at key on without having to start the engine ? Have been getting my GPS wired in with a new cradle & power supply New Butler cup holder. Got the bracket cut out for the powerlet socket yesterday mounted & wired direct to battery with a 15 amp in line fuse for my Electric jacket liner. Also got a new remote for my garage door opener .Removed it from it's case & removed the switch . Installed it in a small plastic box along with a mini relay wired to a push button switch wired to accessory power{ Used center section accessory power didn't know at the time the engine had to be running before it was on } to activate the relay. The relay contacts replace the switch on the remote & the box is mounted under the plastic body panels. Works great except you have to start the engine before you can open the garage door. If no other accessory line is hot at key on will move garage remote power to share the GPS power. Relay coil only draws a few ma of current.

There are 3 customer accessory power connections provided by BRP. Front trunk, under the left service panel and under the passenger seat.
 
Those all require the engine to be on.

That's what i was wondering used the one under the service panel & discovered it was only hot after start up. Had already found the GPS connector ( thanks to a post by another member ) and got my GPS connected. so i just went ahead and used that connection for my garage door remote also.
