Hi... Can you use this type of a USB cable and the USB port to power the Garmin Zumo XT?
I have recently purchased an XT and I will install it on my 2022 Fat Bob.
But as far as I know, Zumo XT requires 12V external power to function properly and bright in daylight.
But the USB port on the bike outputs only 5 volts, right?
Actually, I have searched all the forum topics and I couldn't find any 12V external accessory connection to power the XT when the ignition is turned ON.
Since the Zumo XT is powered only by 2 cables ( red&black - power & negative), another alternative is to connect it directly to the battery. But if you leave the device on the bike, It will drain the battery in a short time...
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

You can connect directly to the battery and use a relay to hooked up to an ignition source in order to turn the power off when the bike is not running.

The Zumo XT includes the proper power cable in the box.

I finally sorted out my phone holder location to make it easier to see the GPS speedo etc. Just a quick knock up on the 3D printer to test it out and see if I like it..... so far so good.

Looking for new tires and cannot find Metzler Cruistec, or Night Dragons, or Avon Cobras in our sizes anywhere. Every place is back ordered.
What are you guys doing for new tires??

Front, rear or both?
Dennis Kirk shows the Night Dragon rear in stock,
They also have the Bridgestone Exedra Max, front and rear in stock
As a last resort there is ebay, here is a set of Cruisetecs, but it ships (free) from Italy
