1200 Iphone 6 Charging

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by ymfb, Oct 17, 2015.

  1. I need to charge my iPhone 6 on from the bike, ideally I would like to add an Auxiliary Din socket in the dash area so it could be used for something else. The bike has a powered sat nav connection, which Snells fitted before I picked the bike up.

    I can solder, heat shrink etc, but I am fairly nervous about cutting into cables, unless I can see they come from the battery, so any photos or idiot guides will be welcomed.

    TIA
     
  2. There is a din plug on the side, maybe use that and route a lead up to the bars?
     
  3. Use your Apple thing as a sidestand puck and buy a decent phone!
     
  4. Im sure we have some Android and Windoz stuff for pucks, why would you waste the most reliable phone we have.
     
  5. does anyone know what cable size should be to run an hella/din socket from the battery ?
     
  6. That's what I did. Works a treat.
     
  7. I would like to connect directly to the battery so to leave the existing sockets for heated clothes.
     
  8. Actually, now I have changed bikes, I have a lead that plugs in to the ducati block just under lhs panel by battery thats a ultimate addons power pack, may even have an iphone 6 charger lead...
     
  9. Let me know and I'm sure we can make a deal
     
  10. I bought this on ebay:

    I most use the 12v socket with a USB adapter. Used for many thousands of miles with no issues.
     
  11. All those eBay 12v to usb things are great. Don't go thinking it's under £5 so must be crap. Not the case. I now have 2 USB ports up front and 2 by the rear seat for the wife. Both running on the touratech ignition based distribution system.
     

  12. is that connected directly to the battery?
     
  13. sorry YMFB, don't mean to take the thread.

    I've been emailing nippy and they suggested a cable and connection, but I was told to use the connection at the battery. still scratching my head

  14. Yes, I removed the bodywork covering the tank and routed it through.
     
  15. What are you scratching your head about?
     
  16. Why the hell he fell for the Apple overpriced hype obviously!!!
     
  17. I like diagrams, clear instruction. Not words, not photos from strange perspectives.

    Sorry bradders.all I needed was 1 product to connect a sat nav to a bike with USB connections, for charging other crap all neatly connected to the bike. Please don't say use the din.

    I know I'm thick but jez
