Power cable to an AMPS mount

The Montana 700i only used with my snowmobile or ATV. The available AMPS mounts have power cable / data cable / audio cable, all this cables makes a big wire mess. The Micro-USB port does not feel water proof, and I do not like to use the Micro-USB port with the unit installed in an AMPS mount, it also looks like the screen is less bright when charging from the Micro-USB.

Does somebody have a wiring diagram for the AMPS connector pins, I would like ta make my own cable from a 12v-5v adapter to the AMPS with suited power cables lenght. Have hooked up Deutsch DT 2-pin connectors to my sleds and ATVs after the 12v-5v USB converter.

did you just wire positive (4) and negative (5) ignoring the safety trigger (3)?

I have a rugged mount for the 700i and the fuse is only 3a. How can you put 5a through a 3a fuse? Are you sure it uses 5a to charge?

Did anyone get a response on this?could you possibly give a diagram of the wiring you did? Hot and ground cables only? Or did you do something for the switching wire? Many thanks

I measured the 700i in the car mount and connection via USB - maximum power was 6.5W, at 5V voltage that is 1.3A. Although the audio part in the car mount has certainly also pulled something out of it.

So closing value far away from the 3A or even the mentioned 5A.

By the way - fuses are not available for the device, but to protect the wiring from over-scaling in the event of short-circuit. Therefore, the line cross-section determines the fuse, whereby this must of course exceed the needs of the device.

When removing the Convertor from the harness does the grey wire need to go to ground? I want to just wire in a USB connector and then use my USB plug on my bike, The plug already steps the voltage down to 5V

What did you do to get power at pin 4? Did you ground the grey safety wire?

connected my 700i fused to a 12v-5v 3A converter. Two wires only + and - . On screen Battery symbol indicates charging. Measured draw which in 0.42 Amps. however it doesn't charge. in other words the battery percentage continues to fall. Could this have something to do with the signal wire
