Santa was v. generous this year with a fancy-dan TomTom sat nav. Need some advice as to the best wire to tap into for a switched live. Elektrickery is not my strong point - if i can't see it I struggle, and there's the risk of injury... ( I have the same problem with what my wife's thinking) I had wondered about tapping into the live feed for the accessory socket (behind the socket itself) but damned if I can figure how - if at all- the socket can be removed or pulled forward to access the back of it. Your thorts please folks.

Hi Wharfe
there are a few replies on this site about wiring a live feed for the sat nav, otherwise just attach a power plug to the sat nav charger lead and use the power socket on the bike if there's one

Hello Wharfe
If you remove the screen & screen mounting bracket on the Tracer, you can get behind the power socket & you will also find some switched live spare plug sockets already wired into the loom.
I bought the mating connector off eBay, I will try & find the seller for you

Ok Chaps, bodywork off and appropriate wiring located. The socket I'm needing is NOT the male one originally suggested (not on mine anyway; I need a female connector of a different shape / profile altogether) - found the one I need on ebay, item no 202172129404.
Anyway, looks to be a straightforward enough do once the part arrives.
Cheers all for the input.

.....aaand on FURTHER inspection, yes the plug originally suggested IS correct for what I take to be the aux power connections. Both plugs arrved this morning - I've gone for the 2nd "lighter" socket option, and now I know what's where I may yet hard-wire my Roadhawk camera (bought after I got twatted by a truck in September ) using the aux socket. Every day's a school day...

I’m glad it went as planned, it’s easy when you know where the connections are
