Re: [emrat:13424] Installing a TomTom Battery Cable

If you have Canbus get it.  I did on my BMW, it's a small resister they have you install on the parking light.  Pretty easy.

Thanks Bob. The 2CS option might be a safer bet if I plan to do the Powerlet socket later.

The site references a canBUS protective diode option. Should I get that op tool added?

Subject: [emrat:13420] Installing a TomTom Battery Cable

Looking to install a TomTom Battery Cable on my new Speedmaster. Simple black / red wiring, but I don't want to connect it direct to battery. I know there are a multitude of ways of wiring this up, some better than others (eg some recommend wiring it to the horn or low beam). Not sure how many other accessories I might need to install, other than maybe a Powerlet socket, so I don't think I need something that fancy like some of the units that Eastern Beaver sells. 

What do you all recommend as the best (and hopefully simple) way to get this installed without voiding my warranty? What parts of any would I need.Any and and all instructions would be helpful. 

I do have a neighbor who works on bikes so he may be able to help. If not, I also wanted to see if anyone would be open to help with the install? I can bike down / up wherever you may be. I do have some other parts I still need to install - like new handlebars - but those aren't in yet. Hoping not to have to pay someone to do these basic mods (which I have no experience with).

Thanks in advance. And for those on the Ride tomorrow, so I am not able to join. I have a previous engagement with my family. But I do hope to introduce my new bike soon.
