Installation of Garmin XT - which acc circuit for key on hot?

[DriftersWay]

Just got my 2022 F3-L and want to install my Garmin XT. I want the GPS
to come on with the key. I found 3 customer accessory circuits, 1 in the
trunk 1 under the left access panel and 1 under the passenger seat.
Question is does anyone know if they are always hot or
do they come on when the key is turned on? Or is there a different way
to connect it? Thanks for any help.

in my 2018 F3 Limited the one under the left panel was on with the key only. Don't know if that has changed or not.

On my F3T all three ACC circuits are tied together and share a common fuse.
All are keyed to be on with the engine running.

I connected my Zumo XT on the accessory circuit under the left panel. Works great.

The are hot with the engine running only, not with the key on. I just installed my Zumo XT using the one under the left side panel. Good Luck!

Yep same wire used here, its a bit annoying that it only works when the engine is running rather than just having the ignition on but at least the XT has a reasonable battery. The one on my 590 used only last a couple of minutes.

In my 2018 I found the customer accessory in the frunk have power only whit the engine running.
So I used the one in the left panel under the seat. It has power whit the key on.

WillieB is correct my 2018 F3 limited only has power when the engine is running using the one under the left panel. I originally thought it worked with the key on, because the I always started the engine.

If I did this correctly the below picture is where the GPS power connector is on the F3.
I purchased the connectors on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6LTK44/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

All three connections are hot only when the engine is running.

All three connections are hot only when the engine is running.

The GPS connector I mentioned above is hot with key on. The bike does not need to be running. You are correct for the other circuits

Not in mine. The one in the frunk is hot whenn the engine is running but the one on the left side under panel is hot with key on. I'm sorry but i didn't test the third.

I agree. 2018 f3 LTD it is so.
In fact I used this wire to give a positive signal to a relay controlling a fuse box when I put the key "ON"
