Mod Pod hooked to Parking Light?

If I hook up the Mod Pod modulator to my parking light on my BMW F800ST will it then also modulate the parking light? This may cause a bulb fault in the system because of the voltage modulation?


Just wondering before I start nipping wires.


thanks!

Hi

You 'splice' into the existing wires meaning the parking light will work as normal, but the podmod gets its feed from the parking light wires.

If you need a diagram just yell and I'll get something made up for you

If the ST is like the other F models you could get the plug for the sat nav socket. On my F the sat nav socket is stored on top of the battery. It powers on with the ignition and powers off a short while after turning ignition off.


Beauty of this is no hacking of the original wiring (and it is cool having LEDs turn off as you walk away from bike)
