Hi all,

I'm a real novice in electric stuff and I need some help on my V7 Classic. I'm trying to connect the charge cable to my bike's electric system. I read somewhere else in this forum that newer V7 have a GPS connector near the front lamp which gets power whenever the motor starts, which can be used to connect the TomTom cable to the bike. But I own a V7 classic built in 2009, I checked thoroughly today and I couldn't find this GPS connector, so where on earth can I tap into the power supply with this TomTom cable? I don't want to just connect to the battery directly, that way it taps power even when key is switched off. I haven't done any modification to the bike so far, and i noticed there is a unused plug underneath the seat, but I'm not sure what it is used for. Can any one help me out?
Thanks in advance
 
I think they talk about it here - https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/gps-installation.14275/

That GPS connector is zip tied to the frame under the left front section of the tank. Remove the plastic cover (in front of the tank) that hides the wires and cables as they emerge from under the tank. You should be able to see the GPS cable and fish it out with a tool.

CAUTION: This is not a generic power lead. It is specific to the newest generation TomTom Rider. You can't just plug your Garmin into it. I suppose you could use a circuit tester to determine which wire is power, ground, etc. and splice a Garmin-compatible connector into the cable.

Use PosiTaps (available on WebBikeWorld.com) to avoid cutting any wires. Just my personal preference; I hate cutting and splicing into factory wiring.

I installed the new TomTom Rider using the factory connector. Powers on and off with the ignition. Having previously owned the first generation Rider and a couple of Garmins, I love this new Rider. Glove-friendly, bright screen. Garmin partisans may not like the interface or that fact that it announces nearby distances in yards rather than feet.

Wow, thank you very much! thats the most extensive description on the subject that i haven't found myself yet. Though I'm still afraid that my older V7 doesn't come with GPS connector (not entirely sure yet, i'll have a better look at it tonight). I think i can still tap on maybe the headlight cable that way. So thx a bunch!!
