Starcom Install

[FJRJOE]

I would like to install my starcom system under the passenger seat of

my 2008 fjr.Can you power the unit off the licence plate light/tail light or

it has be suggested the power wire to the brake light switch.Thanx

Starcomm manual specifies maximum input current at 1,000ma (1-amp). The tail light circuit SHOULD be able to handle that much surplus current draw. But I would fuse the connection with a fast-blow glass type fuse of no more than 2 amps. Better to kill the comm system than the light or the control relay.

I wired mine to the tail light. I forget the size of the fuse. Can't check on that till spring thaw.

Here's my Starcomm install with my Blueseas box mounted in the tail. 10 gauge wire from the battery to the Blueseas with a 30 amp relay wired in for switched power. I'm just fine tuning the Starcomm now.

RD & Zumo. You can see the push to talk button on the left handlebar.

Power Commander & Slime portable compressor

All seems to work well. :clapping:
