12v switched pick off

There are 2 green cables - one of them comes from the accessory-relay.
Be sure to use the correct one - i think the other one is for abs

to choose the right one check the following:

1. Turn your rocket off -> check: cable should not have any voltage
2. Turn ignition on -> check: cable should have 12-14V
3. Turn ignition on + take out the accessory fuse -> check: cable should not have any voltage
4. Turn ignition+engine on, connect a mobile phone to the usb under the seat and check that its loading
5. Turn ignition+engine on while loading mobile phone -> cut the green cable -> check: mobile doesn't load anymore

For 1-4: you can pierce a needle in the cable - no need to cut it
Maybe a little bit paranoic - but i want to get sure

 
on the new rocket everything seems to be CAN based, has anyone tried these vibration switches?

Yes, I read your post, thank you. I remain a bit nervous about cutting wires and impacting warranty. I have already has two recalls and over 1/2 dozen trips to the dealer on the rear brake issue. Giving then ANY excuse to void warranty is something to avoid.
 
Oh - ok
Maybe a voltage triggered relay is a solution for you. There are fixes one available which turn on at 13.3v and turn off at 12.8 - that's nearly perfect for the rocket. You can connect it directly to the battery (fused) and connect the relay input to the supply. You only need to detach 2 connectors when going to your dealer.
There are also completely configurable ones available - where you can choose both voltages on your own.
When you don't know how to connect it, give me a hint.

Both use a permanent drain off 10mA
