I used the mid point power wire provide by BRP to power my GPS. Have power with key in on position, engine does have to be running.

Lamont, did you use the accessories cable that is under the console like in the picture?

I've had a hard time finding it and getting to work.
Instead I used the harness that is used to power the BRP handlebar GPS holder (for the New Garmin GPS). That plug is located on the right side under the rider's seat, on top of the small body panel that has the Spyder decal.

I think it does power up without turning the engine over.

The wire under the right side is wire tied to another wire harness. It is wrapped with black tape. Get a light and you should see it. It is long enough to pull outside when you cut the wire tie.

So I'm confused. To power the GPS it needs to be connected under the seat? Or does the "wire" continue up to the capped opening to the right of the key switch?Thanks, Riiiiiiiiiick

All of the factory auxiliary power leads are on the same circuit which runs through the relay and I believe a 10 amp fuse. The engine must be running for power in the circuit. PITA if you want to keep the GPS on so it doesn't have to go through its long start up cycle: I have a 64GB card in my 660 which takes a long time to scan.

What about wiring straight to the battery? The Garmin supplied wiring harness contains an inline fuse.

Where is this picture located? In the Operator's Guide on page 25 it talks about the 3 customer accessory circuits. One behind the frunk, one in the left side service cover, and one under the passenger seat.
