Autocom wiring

[Silver Shadow]

I've got an autocom wired to my GS1150 but the chap that wired it up has connected it directly to the battery, so I have to switch it on and off when I want to use it.

I'd like to wire it to an ignition-switched live so I can leave it switched on all the time (I like to listen to the radio on the way to work) without flattening the battery.

Does anyone know of an easily accessible ignition-switched wire under the seat?

The autocom switches off when you unplug the headset cable, so no need to switch it off, its automatic.

The guy who wired it did it correctly, leave it alone.

When I was a baby, I used to cry so much, my mother used to put me in a little room, all on my own. The fridge light does go out when you close the door......

Is this the case for all Autocoms past and present? If so why do dealers wire to the back light?

On & Off

On my old rice-burner I wired it to the back light so you could turn it off while riding......

I wrote to Autocom for advice, this is their reply:

Hi,

We do reccomend it goes to a switched live

The rear tail light is a good place

How bizarre, I was instructed by Don (their technical man) to go straight to the battery. I'm seeing Sam within the next couple of weeks I'll seek clarification on the confused messages.
