• 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.

Know where the GPS input is for the F3T radio?

Anybody know which panel they hid the GPS input under for the F3-T's NAV input? I've marked it in red on the diagram.

Found it!

It's under the small panel below the seat on the LH side. The GPS power plug is there, as well.

Connected the output from the Garmin 665 and the XM satellite radio now plays through the speakers, and shuts off when she connects the Garmin to her Sena via Bluetooth. Works great! :yes:
 
I was wondering the same thing. The shop manual shows something plug-ish under the right-hand (as ridden) panel.

That power connector, just half of it, I assume. I'd have to locate the other half to use it rather than just tap into the leads?

Both the GPS audio jack and the GPS power harness/connector are on the LH side of the Spyder, as you're sitting on it. I'm guessing that the BRP Garmin Zumo comes with the correct connector on its harness (attached directly to the GPS mount) to plug directly into that GPS power connector and it would be good to go. I installed the Wiredux engine bay light kit and it came with a harness connector that uses the GPS harness for power. That worked just fine. The GPS harness is hot with the key turned on.

If your GPS harness doesn't have the correct connector, then I think you should be able to just tap into the harness leads just ahead of the connector if you want to use it for powering the GPS. I ran the GPS power leads just a bit further back to the customer accessory circuit under the passenger seat since I didn't have the correct connector (or pins) for the GPS power harness. I believe that the "cap" on the GPS power connector on the Spyder is the female connector, if you could get the correct pins in there. I'd love to know where to get those correct pins to pin out that connector...

I found it and connected it up this weekend. I cut the ring terminals off the Garmin power leads and attached the Tyco connector I got from eBay. After a false start with the leads backwards (black-stripe is positive) I routed the wire up, gathered the extra in a tie-wrapped loop, and it works just fine.

Yuo, connector under the left side, behind the rear panel.

660 GPS harness power plug

660 came with a RAM mount & wiring harness 12 volt power wires no plug. Where can I find/purchase male plug that mates with F3-T OEM GPS NAV power wiring harness female power plug on lower left side. I don't want to cut off OEM harness plug and connect GPS power wires direct... not good for electrical connection where water & road splash is a hazard in this area. PRP GPS mount harness comes with OEM plug & play male power plug.Thanks

It's under the small panel below the seat on the LH side. The GPS power plug is there, as well.
