![]() ![]() Playing around with it, I think it made contact again and that is why it came back on. I surmise that my one-time issue was that it lost the ground connection and ran the internal battery down and turned off. So I cut another piece of the foam and installed it on mine. Note the bottom pin is ground and the middle pin is +5V. I just took a look at mine and could see that the low end of the power cable end was not sticking out of the mount as much as the top end where the screw is. My friend's unit powers right up now when the key is turned on. ![]() The piece I used is around 3/32 thick x 1" x 3/8". Solution is to loosen the four screws that hold the latch part to the RAM ball part and slide a piece of closed cell foam (as pictured below) between the cable end and the RAM ball part and then tighten the four screws. Research on the internet exposed the issue as the bottom end of the power cable end not being supported well, with only a very small screw at the top. May be the the clamps (spring in support plate) are tired. Now i have mounted the new items and the mirrors dont shake any longer. I tried to find out the difference between the 'old' and the 'new' version and compared them - there ist no difference. Both are powered via the GPS 2 cable behind the fuel tank on the right side. Yesterday I received the new support plates for my mirrors. My riding buddy's new unit would not get power from the Trike. Mine had been working well, except once it would not power on. So the internet is full of issues with the power connection between the mount and the head unit.
