Can you show us how you installed the power cables for your heated gear?

I'm looking at adding the GPS Mount and Dual Power block from Lamonster (see link below) using the 12v socket for running my heated gear. Does that sound reasonable (I'm new to Spyders so I'm guessing here)?

Lamonster® Mount 2.0 with GPS Swivel and Dual Power Plates (ALL F3 / RT / Canyon Models)

Lamonster Mount Plate with many options as you have become a custom to seeing here at Lamonster Garage.

I went with a dock from Slingmods.com:

Can-Am Spyder RT Phone Holder / Mount with USB Charge Ports (2020+)

Enjoy hands free navigation when riding your 2020+ Can-Am Spyder RT with our hands free Smart Phone Docking Station

www.slingmods.com

Once it's installed and wired, there are two sources of power at the handlebars.
A standard round 12V vehicle power port on the right, and two USB ports on the left.
Both have water resistant covers that snap into place when not in use.

It has wires to connect to the Auxiliary Power Port on the front right side of your Spyder next to the right front wheel.
You have to remove several body panels to access the port and route the wires from the dock to the power port.

I was using a Garmin Zumo XT before CAN-AM got CarPlay to work correctly.
Here's the dock installed on my 2024 Spyder RT with the mount for my Zumo XT.
The top of the dock includes a ball mount.

We ended up going with the Slingmods version. My Zumo 665 is mounted where your XT is. Looks like it's going to work out just fine for me.

I added a 6 contact fuse block on our 2018 RTL above the battery under the frunk liner. I power the pilot and passenger heated Gerbing gear, rocker switch style usb outlets, cigarette lighter style outlet and GPS powered mount. Here is a link about it I posted back in 2018.

The heated gear for the pilot lives under the seat when not in use, and the passenger outlet is toward the back under the handgrip.

That's a nice clean installation.

I am a big fan of Warm & Safe. Great gear, great customer support, and they offer AMA and ADV Rider Forum discounts. On my 2023 RTL, I ran their 5' fused power cord from the battery along the left side top frame tube, exiting beneath the black center cover in front of the seat. This allows me to stash the cord/connector under the seat when not in use. The 5' power cord is secured to the frame tube with loose tie wraps to allow for movement as needed.

I fabricated a handle bar mount for the dual controller wireless remote (I wasn't happy with their spring clip mount remote case). The controller is secured with a velcro tie wrap permitting solid mounting and quick removal. A piece of self adhering thin foam is mounted to the bottom of the controller for additional vibration isolation.

Would you mind sharing another picture of the port for the passenger, from a little distance to show where you found room to install it?
Thanks!
