Ah yes Master Mustang, keeper of all  Tiger knowledge  :D   :notworthy    .  Man how long have you been wrenching on Tigers?  You come up with all the good stuff.  I am checking that out today.

On a side note do you know if it is possible to download GPS tracks to a Tom Tom?

So I found the plug and it has 13.4 volts across the plug in, so 1 side is to ground.  When I go to ground with a lead of the tester and the other lead to the hot side I get 13.9 volts.  At the battery, I get 14.9 volts charging the battery.  

My plan is to use the test port and fuse it with a 5 amp fuse to the aux power port.

the GPS only needs to be fused for 2 amp I just installed a Garmin 2610 on a Honda trans alp and the wiring was fused for 2 amps
I was a little high on my guess for a fuse rating in my answer to you b4

so here is my temporary setup for GPS.  The aux power is just to the right of the Tom Tom unit.  I stress its only temporary because I need to test out the setup.





the picture is crap cause its from a cell phone, sorry.

Also got my new seat:




How did you wire that amp meter clock on my Tig is useless?
