Hi all,

I have just purchased an Autocom Pro Duo 300 Super Pro AVi (bike powered) intercom system for my GSX650F. It states in the instruction manual I need to connect the Autocom box to a 12v fused, ignition switched, positive line on the bike (for example the tail light).

I am struggling to find out how to do this, does anyone have any advice or more preferably any pictures that could help? Even if not to do with an Autocom intercom system, but any help/tips about connecting any 12v items into the bike via the battery (ignition switched).

I assume I need to cut the positive tail light cable, splice my positive wire from the Autocom system with it, and insulate it. Is this correct? If so, can anyone help me identify which wire from the tail/brake light is actually the tail light, and not the brake light - as if I accidently chose the tail light, then the intercom would only work if the brake is pressed I'm assuming?

Can anyone help at all?

Cheers
Jason

Hi Jason, I wired my TomTom Rider into the brake light wiring, it uses very little current like your Autocom, so it's the ideal place, works a treat! I identified the wires with a meter. I'll try and take a picture and get the wiring details for you. Bob

That'd be fantastic if you could Bob, I don't have a Multimeter so identifying the correct wire is proving to be a nightmare.

Many thanks,
Jason

Here's the switched 12V supply from the tail/stop lamp.

it's easy, I have used blue crimp connectors. Bob

Like jayzzz, I've got an Autocom system that I wanted to power from the bike. If anyone that reads this is interested, here are some photos from the install.

First, figuring out where to run the headset lead and music lead. I decided to run them along the left side of the frame, and bring them out between the seat and the tank.


The music lead goes up to my tank bag, where I'll hook into my mp3 player.


I also ran a wire to the battery for ground. Autocom recommends this, and I don't expect to wire up too much on the bike, so one ring on the terminal shouldn't be a problem.


I tapped into the taillight for the positive. Instead of using clip connectors, I used a posi-lock connector. No crimping or soldering required, but they make a great connection, and hold tight. Most of the connector is covered by the wire sleeve, but I left one end out in case I need to disconnect it.


Zip tied all of the wires to keep them from moving around, and placed the Autocom unit where the tools usually sit, using the rubber band to hold it in place.



Took it out for test ride with Mrs. seajay70 to get it dialed in, and it's working wonderfully.

you might try easy beaver. they have all sorts of leads for bike electricals
