Title pretty much says it all. I'm getting one of these (from multiple recommendations) and I ordered but I believe I will not need that if I wire it directly into the ignition - is that correct? What is the best way to go about wiring that into the ignition? Remove the ignition wire from the fuse box and then wire them in together? (I saw a youtube video where a guy did that) Or are there other ways?

I'm trying to keep things as clean as possible and do not want to split into any wires preferably. Ignition-switching is fine, but just keep in mind that it means you'll have to either run your bike, or at the very least have the key in (for accessory mode or whatever) just to charge your phone.

That said, an ignition-switched accessory panel isn't a bad thing to add at all. You might already have switched accessory wiring -- I don't know your bike. You could either ask on some forums about that, or maybe look at a wiring diagram (there would be a legend to tell you what's what) Splicing into wires isn't hard, and normally is pretty necessary to get a 'signal' to your relay. I was able to take a stranded 16 gauge wire and stick it up the back of the taillight plug to piggyback with no cutting at all, but it was all very makeshift as I was doing it; your situation might be different. The cleanest way to do it is to get some shrink wrap and a soldering iron. Fpc Presets Downloaded. A relay has 4 wires normally, and you connect them to: positive terminal (fused), negative terminal, signal (taillight, or anything that has power when you want it), and then your switched accessory (or accessory fuse box, as I did).

I basically did what this guy did, but used a different wire for my signal: All this said, a 2.1A 5V charger will use an exceedingly small amount of power overall. At most it'll use 0.875A, or about 10 watts, and that's only if the device is totally dead, and even then it'll only use that for a couple hours tops. You could probably leave your phone hooked up for days and it'd be fine, since it uses much less power to just trickle charge. Unless of course this is for something you intend on leaving on the bike, like some accessory. If you're OK with only having the USB charger live when the ignition is on, you don't need a relay.

The USB charger takes minimal current and can be tied into most switched circuits on the bike. It's pretty common for bike wiring looms to have a dedicated pair of empty bullet connectors for auxiliary power, e.g. My KLR650 has this and I just wired up a GPS power cord + a voltmeter to those connectors. Your Bandit 1200S may also have such an aux 12V source. EDIT: I actually would prefer to have a USB charger that can be left powered up without the key in the ignition, when I am camping and want to charge a phone or tablet overnight I don't want to leave my keys in the bike. But beware of permanently wiring the USB charger to the battery with no way to disconnect it, because even when there is nothing plugged into the charger, it WILL draw some current.

The only adapters I can find are for charging and for data (not music support) or I found one that connects for USB for charging that has a mini-plug for the headset to play the music which would have been fine, but, there are mostly horrible reviews stating it doesn't work or that it crackles. I even checked with the person in parts and there is no replacement cable that I can buy from Victory either. Only one for the headset so when I get somewhere my phone will be near dead. Has anybody come across these adapters that actually work?
