USB socket

RTS 2012

Does anyone know if there is a mini USB socket I can hard wire onto my RTS? I want it to fit into the same area as the light switches etc. I have one empty spot left for a toggle switch but I hope to install the socket there instead. I would use it for the powering of a GPS (not the 660).

I'm not sure if BRP carries this socket or if a aftermarket supplier does. Perhaps no one carries it for a Spyder.

Thanks

Don't see any USB on their site. Only standard outlets. :dontknow:

J&P Cycles sells one, among with many other vendors. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/362...g&matchtype=&gclid=CPiP0fHw9rgCFchDMgodZTAA0A Google "waterproof USB outlet" for several possibilities.

Thanks. Great site but no luck with what I'm looking for.

How about using this, hard wire it or install a 12v aux socket http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-U...Charger-For-IPhone-4G-1000mA-Mp4-p-26136.html

They actually have micro and mini usb's on their site. But, it appears that all have to be plugged into a powerlet outlet.

I tried to link the usb page; but, it doesn't work. If you type usb in the search function on powerlet's page, it will take you to their usb connections.

Just a word of caution...... Those cheap low price plug-in USB adapters create a lot of RFI (radio frequency interference) and can cause noise on the AM bands and loss of reception on you FM radio and cell phones. I've not only experienced it, I've done lab spectrum analyzer measurements and seen it. I can't believe the FCC hasn't cracked down on them because of part 15 interference violations.

DR Buck,

This is what I was looking at from powerlet.


Here's a mini usb that would hook directly to the battery. Don't know how it would attach to the dash. Anything else would require a powerlet outlet to plug into.

I use a Powerlet outlet and one of their Powerlet-to-USB adapter cables. It pays to waterproof (RTV silicone) the black box on the adapter cable, however. Our Powerlet outlets are installed in the speaker grills on my RT, and on the dash of the GS.

You might take a look at the 3BR Powersports Panel TAPP

I have the TAPP on my GS, love it!

I got GREAT customer service from them.

I got mine at Cycle Gear

I got mine (almost the same as the one in the link) at Cycle Gear in
Modesto CA for $20.00 works great

One of the members of Midwest Spyders makes a special USB and a 12v socket that takes the place of the analog gauges. It is really nice. When you remove the analog gauges the LCD automatically show them on the screen.
