Hello all,
Been away a while. It’s that time of year when I start to think about pulling my ten out of winter storage. I usually celebrate this with yet another gadget .This time I bought the Chigee AIO-5 Lite system. I actually initially ordered it for my XTZ750 but that did 4 miles in between annual MOT’s so it’s going on the 1200 that did 480m in between annual MOT’s ( life was crazy in 2023). Will report back on the system and interested in anyone who has fitted it.
My question is does anyone know if in the UK we have a plug like the US Eastern Beaver accessory plug in the pic attached that I can buy and plug into the ACC plug on our bikes ? I need to pick up an ignition switched live for the yellow wire on the Chigee unit and I don’t want to splice a wire.
Thanks

Lots of ways to do it but just a suggestion. The aux socket for 12 volt on the right of the cockpit is of no use due to being 3 amp. I removed it and put the switch for my fogs in there. I then connected my sat nav feed to it. If the unit your fitting is ok at 3 amp you could do the same. Also if you have a tyre plugging kit and an electric pump which uses 10 amp i would sort out a feed for that. All mine are SAE plugs. I can use the same pigtail from the battery for the battery tender, heated clothing and the tyre pump. If you want to connect to the one you suggested all you really need are the right pins to connect to it you dont need the plug.

Thanks, I do have a pigtail I fitted in storage after my battery died, my Garmin Zumo wired direct to battery came on and killed the battery after many moons in storage, have now connected it properly to ignition off. I use the pigtail for any heavy lifting. Checking today what amps the Chigee draws.

Rob, thanks, actually ordered one last night. Ordered this Chigee gadget under the influence of “don’t think I need this, but MUST have it” Hoping to get to Morocco this year so will add a lot of functionality to the bike for me.
