I have an iPHone 5...I have installed Carlini 16" gangster apes and when I did this I ran an internal USB cable from the battery area (not connected just a USB) and the small jack that goes to my book audio through the bars. I made a small hole (after consulting with Carlini about bar integrity) and have the iPhone 5 lighting jack and the 3mm cable hanging below the bend in the upper pull back area. I have a bracket on order and will mount the phone there (left side).

What I need to do is connect the USB to a fuse and then to the battery under the seat.

Can anyone provide specific parts needed to go from the bike battery through a fuse and into a USB cable?

You will need the adaptor to go from 12v to 5v (thats what the Iphone charges at). Then buy and inline fuse and cut it up to make it work.

 

The one I posted has the regulator and built in circut protection built in.

 

I have two...

For a permanent mount I used a "Tapp Lite" waterproof port. This has an inline fuse between the battery and the USB port and is rated at 1 amp for the iPhone. They also make one in a 2 amp if you were wanting to charge an iPad.

Having the original battery charger cable still installed, I picked up a SABEUS-1 so my wife can plug her iPhone in and charge it as well. Works pretty good and I can toss it to a buddy in need during a ride as well. Again, plugging into the charger cable uses another inline fuse.

Hope this helps!

 

I did the same as you, wire through the bar into the headlight housing, for my iPhone holder from http://www.michaelsstainlessinnovations.com/ . I bought a cheap charger for the cigarette lighter and opened up the case. When I got it opened it had a small fuse built into it. I wired it to run off of the accessory switch so I can turn it off when the phone it not attached. Mounted in the headlight nacelle is clean and dry. I see you do not need the charger for your cable but I thought others might be able to benefit from both installations. Good luck with yours.

 

Great links in this thread.

 

Thanks everyone! I'll start looking over these now for the best option...I do kinda like the idea of running it to the accessory switch instead of having another wire coming off the battery.

 

hence I don't have a cigarette lighter..

Can you be more specific on how you did this? I guess the only challenge I have now is I've already ran the iPhone white cable through the bars and into the headlight area. So I need to be able to plug the USB end into the charger.

I looked in the Touring Models service manual and don't see anything about the auxiliary switch...any guidance would be great.

 

Now this looks like a great option...Since I have a USB cable ran to the battery and just waiting to connect this looks like a great option.
