RE: Help wiring GPS

On the newer models there is a switched power line in the headlight nacelle taped to the headlight wires. They even have female spade connectors already on them so it is easy to just crimp male spade connectors (radio shack) on the GPS wires and connect them. Not sure if they are there on a '98.

You can find some very good installation help help over in the Zumo forum here -

RE: Help wiring GPS

I did it just like Wags1 said. The wires are black and orange and, I think black. They are switched to the Accessory/Ignition switch. That means power is on when the switch is to the left or the right. When the switch is off, the power is off. Very nice hook up and very easy to do.
