Sat Nav power feed

Yes buddy, take the back off the speedo. From memory it’s on the right side at the bottom. It’s folded back on itself

Cheers Paul, will check it out once my bracket arrives from EP

thanks again

Guys
Quick question, is there a pre wired switched 12v supply in the cockpit area for a sat nav ?

Appreciated

i used a hair dryer to heat up the glue holding the protective cover of the wire. It only took about a minute of heating and it slid right off.

The plug is cover by the other part of the plug. The green point mark is the positive pole. You must used it for the wiring of the DC for the navigator

great link, thanks for that, but on my GS I installed a relay on the GPS powering, before it would suck the battery within some days, so my question is on this connection, will that be a problem or did Ducati make this connection for GPS purpose and already instalede the relay?
Thanks

This is a power on by ignition only connection. There is no power to this connection unless you have the key turned to ignition on or while the bike is running.

It's an auxillary power supply. I bet this was planned for by Ducati for their GPS offering. I used it for my Garmin Zumo and have not had any power drain. Being that this is only powered on when the bike is on you are fine. On your GS you must have had it connected to a constant power. My last KTM had both constant and ignition on power connections up front and in the rear under the seat.

I tested this Ducati connection with my volt meter before wiring everything in. It is ignition on only power and will not drain your battery.

Would this spare aux 12v connector be used for the multi media device ? My bike is fitted with the multi media system and when I looked at the back of the dash I couldnt find this spare aux power supply as I want to connect up my garmin zumo xt2 to my bike ,, any info be gratefull
