Finally!! 12V socket installed under the seat! DIY!
Step one of customization 99% done! Complete with switch to prevent the battery from draining...
Just a bit of cosmetic rounding off to do around the socket itself, and then its done!

Havent tried yet. Sure i will be able to if i leave the visor a tad open as the socket is at height, but even If I cant I can still put it in the box on the back.

Re: Finally!! 12V socket installed under the seat! DIY!
Just had a look and the helmet still fits in just fine.
Also saw that my front tire was loosing a slight bit of pressure, so pulled out the mini air compressor, plugged it into the new 12V under the seat and quickly inflated it myself Now she is almost set for the long roads!

Re: Finally!! 12V socket installed under the seat! DIY!
Maybe you don't need a battery tender. Hmm
Just a quick connect. Not a bad item to have wired up and available Should You ever need/want to plug in a battery maintainer. A must for me. But then, I don't ride anywhere near as much as others do here. Still, it can't hurt to have one. Hmm...can You now? That was the question

Re: Finally!! 12V socket installed under the seat! DIY!
Pretty interesting. I really really want this in my glove box, but that's a lot more work. Your method here has piqued my possible interest. What does the other side of the battery cover look like, can you pull it out and take a photo?

I have a 2015 PCX, I'm pretty sure the 2013 is the same. Here's mine. I also have the battery tender pigtail leads connected to the battery terminals.

Re: Finally!! 12V socket installed under the seat! DIY!
Alrighty then But....he got a bonus view of the battery tender pigtail and fuse box. Guess what coetzee?
I don't have a plastic push pin to lose Honda fixed that! My 2011 had that pushy pin, I broke it the day I added a pigtail to its battery. Now....The 2015 cover just snaps in place, no pin. Thank You Honda!

Re: Finally!! 12V socket installed under the seat! DIY!
I lost my push pin but had a bag of them from when i owned my Burgman 400. They were smart enough to assemble the entire bike with those instead of tabs and screws. It would take me half as long to disassemble the Burgman as the pcx.
Currently own:
Red 2013 Honda PCX150
Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires
Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs
NCY variator, drive face, and rollers

Not sure of the other years. But I just picked up a 2016 and it comes with one in the glove box. Also the glove box is HUGE. It fits my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with a case on it.

Before I shut my mouth would you do us All a favor and add your location to your profile?
Oh, no worries...none of us will come to dinner unless we're invited (well, ahem....most of us anyway Seriously speaking we come from all over the globe and telling us your location really helps in answering any questions you may have (and vice versa). Tis easy to do, you can simply follow my easy directions right below vvv
Thanks dman and Love thy Bike

Re: Finally!! 12V socket installed under the seat! DIY!
I just got my new PCX and like the big glove box...but how do you use the power outlet as most chargers for phones which plug into the cigar lighter in a car are too bulky to fit in the PCX one...
I also use the Note 4

Re: Finally!! 12V socket installed under the seat! DIY!
I did a quick Google search and came up with a variety of adaptors. Maybe one will work with your Note? http://www.google.com/search?biw=360&bi ... UrbAyrbAh8
