Question:

Can you power the unit from the mp3 lead in the left pocket?

 

[depcons]

No. This wire is to play it through the radio system. You have a power cord in the box that needs + and a -, or the cig. lighter plug.

 

[IR Harry]

No. But there is a connector underneath the pocket that is switched and can be used to power a GPS. I use it on my 2730. 5 amp limit, so OK for a GPS.

I went to the battery.

There's no reason to wire directly to the battery with a Zumo and negates the 'auto-on' and 'auto-off' features. It also leaves the power pins on the cradle energized all the time, increasing the possibility of corrosion-generation if the cradle gets wet.

Hooked mine up to one of Lewis's (Electrical Connections) accessory fuse panels and ground block. Works great! 8)

Mine is powered from the switched accessory connection on the fuse box. Cable is routed under the shield on the underside of the handlebar.
