Fitting Autocom to 1200gs

[Mike Whitworth]

Hi A friend has just bought a 4 month old 1200gs (Lucky B-----d I still have an 1150gs) he wants me to fit an Autocom for him.
Having read all the comments about wireing one up to the 1200 I am slightly confused . I know very little about Cambus tech knowledgeery so please bear with me .
Am I over simplyfing the job by wanting to just take a live feed from the rear light and a suitable earth.???
If that is not possable the grey/blue wire mentioned on the left of the headstock seems the easier and less problomaticle way than hard wiring into the back of the aux socket. ( not having the bike here to have a look at is there a suitable connector on this Blue/grey wire to tap into or is it best to splice into it and solder the joint.

Rear (driving) light for live, battery for negative

join it straight into the back of the aux. socket.
12v as long as the ignition is on. no problems, did it my self.

Back of the accessory socket is the place. I wouldn't wire anything to the back light if I were you, knowing the way the ABS works.

I 2nd that re the rear brake light, thats why I wired mine to the grey/blue wire to the left of the headstock, its the side/parking light feed apparently. Recommended by Autocom tech support

Don't you get any interference with mounting the Autocom above the battery, put mine there first and it buzzed
