I'm a newbie here and this topic may have been discussed elsewhere on the site. Here's this issue. BRP (IMO) hasn't done a very good job provided aux. power other than for USB ports on the Spyders. Current set up of 3 USB style charging ports is inadequate. I currently have 2 cell phones and a Zoleo satellite communicator that charge during riding. Additional needs are for 2 additional cigarette lighter style power ports (unswitched) direct connected and fused to the battery. This is to power up things like a 12vdc portable air compressor, spotlight, portable stereo when the Spyder is off. I have a Battery Tender pigtail in the front trunk that I have cig lighter adapter for. It is fused at 15 amps for my air compressor so that's one power port. It was easy to install that one as the battery is easy to access. Does anyone have experience in getting additional unswitched power to the dash area and to the rear trunk? A couple of the aftermarket companies make a handlebar mounted accessory ports but they plug into the switched connector on the right side of the Spyder. Additionally, my handlebars are all ready taken by the BRP GPS. BRP installed a decent stereo on the Spyder but then give you no accessory position on the key switch so to use the stereo the the key switch must be on and everything else is powered up that isn't required to operate the stereo. I've checked out Lamonster and SpyderAccessories.Com and thus far don't see anything in kit form to accomplish what I'd like to do.
