Show me your Autocom install.

OK folks- for those of you that have the autocom unit mounted and powered from the bike........


.......show me yours


Pointy installs especially welcome, but I'm looking to see the kind of tricks that you all use to make the whole affair easier for yourself. I already have a scottoiler under the pillion seat, so that robs a bit of space but I'm confident that some of you have worked miracles.


Cheers,
Garry

Can you do the same trick as on the curvy and chuck the fusebox tray?

You can move the fusebox on a pointy a little closer to the battery. Mine lives down under the bit of plastic between the seats. That happened when I put the tail tidy on, as the hook for it disappeared with the old snow shovel.

As for autocom, I don't have one, but have a couple of spare +ve and -ve wires on my bike...

I'll take some pictures of mine later tonight. The way I installed it was to ask the nice German bloke at the BMW dealers to do it for free!!

By the way good choice they work really well.

Mine is fitted under the pillion seat, but kinda closer to the front seat (I can take a photo Sunday if you need me to) - I also took the + feed from the rear lights as per advice of the local dealer.

Thanks for the replies so far guys.

I've been using the Autocom for a while now (Pro 7 Sport) and just pop it in the magnetic map pouch. However, with Quedos making preparations for her Advanced test, we've been using it more often and I've got a power lead sitting in the box. I'm just not sure that I've space along with other bits.

Pics would be most helpful.

I forgot to put these up before hope there of some use. The helmet fittings aren't too hard to fit, a bit of gaffer tape helps keep thing in place.

Nice one that man.

That's exactly the kind of thing I was after. My problem is that I have my disklock hiding down there and my Scottoiler is also under the pillion seat. Despite this, I also manage to keep my cans baffle in there in case it needs to go in a bit sharpish and also a visor cleaner and bike jump lead. Must have a poke around the plastics when I replace the alarm tilt sensor!
