Lighter outlet use????
The lighter outlet on the 2008 Street Glide, the owners manual says that you should not use this for electronic equipment. I hooked a gps unit up and it sure works fine. Is this a bad idea or just Harley Lawyers covering themselves???
Thank you, Mike

Exactly, they do not want to be liable for you using GPS / iPod / Cell phone so they use that blanket statement to cover their ****...

I hard wired my GPS to the wiring on the back of the receptical. Works great.
Is it keyed? I mean when the ignition is off is there no power to the lighter?

thats correct. when you turn the power off, the lighter receptical is also turned off.
