Power to Zumo550?
I just wired my new zumo550. Went around the Lake Superior circle tour. I wired it into the accessory plug located in the left side cover of my '08 Ultra.
I have constant power to it when my bike is running, I wanted to control it with my accessory switch, that way, when I take off the GPS, \\;I can stop the power going to the GPS holder. \\;The accessory plug has only 3 pins. I only need 2 of them for my Zumo. I've tried just about every combination...any suggestions?

Disclaimer: I don't know if the 08 is the same as my 06.
But I did what you're trying to do. \\; My accessory plug is under the seat by the battery, not the side cover. \\; There's not enough slack to cut and splice the plug, so I bought a Y adapter for the accessory plug and cut the plug off one of the legs. \\; Using a voltmeter, I found the two wires that switched on and off when I used the ACC switch and hooked my Zumo to those.

I have a 06 but I got the intergrated wire harness from J&M for serria electronic, and know who wants to spen more money, but the harness takes care of all those issues. It allows you to have on the ign/*** switch.

I'm not sure about the 08s but my 06 Ultra has an extra pigtail at the headlight under the fairing. \\; I wired my Zumo to it. \\; Check this site, I got the idea from here.
