RT audio plug help

[redrt]

We have a 2012 RT. and would like to get the plug that comes with the GPS mount kit
but do not need the mount just the plug. We want it so we have the power on and off
with the key and audio plug also. Now we have it to the 12v plug for the battery tender
and use the audio plug in the trunk. It works but could run the battery down if GPS gets
left on and we have to stop and change from GPS/xm raidio to use the i-pod. I talked with
some dealers in our area and they said you have to buy the whole kit. But we made our
own mount and used the old GPS \ xm off my Harley on her Canam when We got a new one
for the Harley. The old GPS is dated but the xm works fine. A wireing diagram for the audio
plug would be great then I can just tap into the wires. Thanks Jim and Vickie
The plug that comes with the GPS kit hooks into the audio box in the right rear of the bike. And it has a hot, ground and audio plug that you tap your GPS into, saw a picture of it in a
acc catalog but the dealer cant sell just the plug.

Are you trying to set the rear 12 volt plug up as a keyed source of power?
Prior to 2013; they were "hot", all of the time... :dontknow:
The audio plug... :shocked:
Are you trying to route your GPS sound into the audio system with the MP-3 player input cord?
If you do that; you'll probably ONLY be able to hear the GPS...
Once that cord is plugged in; it blocks out any output from the radio receiver.

When I have my GPS on the byke, I can choose whether I listen to FM, AM, Weather, or the GPS. Assuming that the OP is wanting to hook into that same harness on the back right side of the byke, he should be OK.

:shocked: You're right; I forgot that it'll allow you to scroll through the various inputs...
If you've got the GPS plugged in to the factory harness up front; doesn't it just break-in to the broadcast, when it has something important to say? :dontknow:

I'll write up answer later today. I use my old GPS just like the factory one.

Edited for correction: I just tested it here in the park. It does break in on the other modes, I was wrong on that.

That's what I thought. :thumbup:

He can, but he probably doesn't want to. I'll get my GPS install posted this evening. I think it'll answer all your questions. You're on the right track.

I stand corrected and modified my previous post.

Thank you for the tip I will get one ordered for the wifes RT. Now we wont
have to worry about running down the battery. Nice idea on the tablet, we like
the Zuma for the xm raidio, phone interface and it also transmits to the Sena
headsets. Jim:doorag:
