Garmin 595LM Installation on F3 Ltd SS

[Msmoto]

As I have asked many question regarding the Customer Accessory Circuits and how to install a GPS, I thought I would just do it. So, this is how I did the install of a Garmin 595LM (the up to date version of the 590 which is sold by BRP).

I used a handlebar mount, all included with the Garmin except for the long reach RAM Long Double Socket Arm (6"). I mounted the primary attachment using the bolts supplied and attaching it to the base of the left hand Grip/Handlebar clamp. The 6" arm attaches to this, and the Garmin mount for the 595LM, to the top of the arm.

The wiring is the most interesting as I could not identify the middle Customer Accessory Circuit wires until I had removed the left side panel. Then one can see the friction tapped wires hanging down, and once the tape is removed, gosh there they are, a black ground and purple/white hot wire (Hot when engine is running). Here is a photo showing the wire after I placed shrink tubing on the end of the remaining friction tape so as to keep it from unraveling.

As I wanted additional options should I decide to add more powered stuff, I added to plug in ends to this accessory circuit, as shown:

Look carefully and you will see the purple/white hot wire and all the connections.

So, what does one do with the huge amount of wires from the Garmin mount? I simply folded them up and tucked them away, Zip tying to a part of the roadster. I did not want to cut any of these at this time.

After all is said and done, the cable from the Garmin mount zip tied in place so as to avoid any chafing when the handlebars are moved, I mounted the Garmin and it actually worked.

Oh, on the handlebar mount some small shaving of the pacers from Garmin was necessary, but no issue for those who do this stuff on a regular basis.

If any questions .... let 'em rip.

That ram ball mount under the cuff.... I know the part #... But I don't think it comes with spacers?... Or does it? I thought of doing the same thing... I did buy a clutch mount ball instead for now.

@WackyDan

The RAM ball mount under the cuff comes with spacers from Garmin. However, these require a small amount of shaving down the diameter (I did a conical shave using a grinder and the spacer on a round shaft) then they will fit nicely into the recess in the cuff. If you look carefully at the spacers, you will see how they are cut down in a conical shape.

Now, the 6" long arm is something one must purchase from RAM. And, I may change this to a two piece extension so as to be able to rotate the Garmin clockwise and avoid the reflection from my high visibility riding suits... makes seeing the Garmin more difficult in the sunlight.

I just installed the Garmin Zumo 660LM. I already had the Lamonster F3 Top handlebar clamp. I added Lamonster's GPS swivel mount and moved my phone up to next to the left control with a Lamonster control RAM ball mount. I wired mine down the right side and to the rear auxiliary port under the seat. I plan to install fog lights and heated grips later.

Very nice job, guess I will make a trip to NC to visit you for installation. :roflblack:

I believe if you use the designated GPS power supply the power turns on with the key. Just saying...

 

[KJWEB]

The right, left, and rear auxiliary power supplies are powered when key is on.

The right, left, and rear auxiliary power supplies are powered when key is on.

I believe that's a true statement with key on AND engine running.

Yes that is correct it is the only one that powers up before motor is running:yes:, the other 3 connections only power up after the motor is running.

I will most likely rewire this to use the factory GPS power and to have it integrate with radio when i do not want to use Bluetooth.

 

[TexasSpyder]

Can anyone tell me how/where to find the factory GPS wire?

Hi folks,

Resurrecting this thread, please. I just ordered a Garmin 595L and the F3 swivel mount from Lamonster. Looking at this thread confuses me just a little. The OP attached to the customer accessory circuits via the "hanging" black/purple-white wires. But later in the thread someone asks where the "stock GPS connector is"....are these the same thing, or is there some type of modular connector used for the "stock GPS connector" via the Garmin 590L/595L?

We usually have dealers wire our GPS mobile systems since it usually involves (in the case of Harley Davidson), plugging into an ignition circuit at the fuse location, and Jeff is not interested in going there, simple as it might be. But reading this post, it appears the wires and/or connector are already there, so he thinks he will tackle it himself.

thanks.

Carolyn

In one of the Lamonster videos, I can't remember which one at this time, he actually point it out. I will see if I can remember which video.Here is my Lamonster swivel mount with the Dual power mounts for my 595.
