• 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.

I don't have an outlet in the frunk so I run it from the rear outlet, then under the seat and I make all of the connections there. No problems and easily removable.
 
I just installed a trickle charge to the battery, then purchased a cable that plugs into the trickle charge pigtail and ran from under the seat to in under the instruments on my RS, should be similiar on ST or RT too, to a dual USB connector and velcro'd to my handlebars. I want to redo the velcro to look better but works great.

You can install one. The wiring and the mounting hole are already there, you just need the socket and install it. I also installed one on the dash, lower part of the left speaker grill, same outlet fixture but had to run a circuit with fuse to that one.
 
There's are dedicated plugs for the GPS under the right side tupperware. All of the connections are identified in the wiring diagram found in the shop manual.
 


Not sure I would wire GPS direct to battery. I have always wired mine to a switched source of which there are many. That way when you turn the key off the GPS also shuts down and then powers up when the switch is turned on.
