where do i get my power from for my after market GPS. Do I need a cigarette lighter plug in???

I believe the wiring set up is now found in the glove compartment of your RTS. It is in my F3L.

Just attach the proper cable from the GPS to the plug in and you should be good to go. Lots of handlebar mounts around. Recommend to tether the unit, just in case.

If that is a 2019 RT there is a GPS power source unused behind the fuel tank. Remove the right side tupperware back to the saddle bag. The connector is capped off and clipped into the frame. I cut the leads just short of the connector and spliced onto this switched power source. I put the connector back on the frame, so it stays with the trike(free ride). I used this for my USB dual outlet/volt meter in the switch console actually. My dash camera is plugged in to this.

My phone and Garmin GPS are actually getting their power from a dual USB in the trunk and the wires just run forward under the seat along the left side of the central spine. I can provide pictures of that if you want. I am not sure on our new to us 2018 RT-L if that dual USB is standard or an module plugged into a 12V cigarette outlet. The Garmin is plugged into an USB to cigarette adapter that was there when we bought the used bike.

I use my phone and Google maps more than the GPS. I lay out routes on the desk top and send them to the phone. Open the route on the phone and then save it to a home screen. Our 2020 Ford Edge does not have NAV so I started using this method for nav last summer before we bought the Spyder. You can also say "OK Google" navigate to XYZ(McDonalds) in Globe Arizona and when it comes up push directions, and then start and be off with turn by turn directions in your handset. I do keep a stylus pen velcro'd to the side of the switch panel to dismiss a way point in route. You can see the pen/stylus in picture attached.

There were only 2 left when I ordered. Maybe they sold out. Try this address. It worked again for me.

Hey there! This is the intel I've been scouring for here in the forum for my 2019 RTL. Can you tell me anything else that would help me identify this connector with certainty?
How many leads? Just two?
Do you recall colors of the wires?
Any details about the shape of the connector you snipped off?

Thanks in advance!

On my 2018 RT, the GPS wiring was two wires. I don't remember what colors they were, but I think they were violet/yellow and black, based on the wiring diagram.
I purchased these connectors to extend the harness. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014IU2EE2
