I recently purchased a TomTom Rider V5 and have been trying to work out the best way to fit it to the bike and would appreciate any hints / advice or a steer in the right direction please?
So the way I think I am going to proceed is to connect it to the F800GSA's power loom near the battery. I just want to be sure that this is a good way to proceed? Here is a pic of the battery guts and I just want to be sure I am looking at the right part...
The connector I was going to use can be found here :

This is it...
I notice however my white connector seems connected to something, can someone just confirm for me if this is just a blanking socket and it is ok to remove the socket, and connect it to the one shown above to power the sat nav?
The other options I was considering are :
- Attach a HELLA plug to the wires of the sat nav charging dock and use the power point at the key.
- Wire it directly to the battery but I would be concerned of this causing battery drain?
Many thanks in advance!
