After searching through various forums all I could find is: you need to insert a relay, use your reverse button to interrupt the speedo input to the GPS blah blah. Well a little comment caught my eye about on the 2010 and newer Goldwing not needing all that work. So I gave it a try,
I cut the speedometer input wire at the plug just where the wiring goes into the trunk a 6 wire connector with a (white wire/black stripe) on one corner I cut this wire then ran the two extended wires (speaker wire works great) to my pocket on the right side, installed a switch just above this door, I used a switch that has a cover you open to turn on. Went for a ride. at any speed with cruise on I uncover, then flip my switch (now the wires are disconnected) give it a second and push my buttons to turn on my GPS , BINGO! GPS is on now I lower the cover on the switch which recloses the wires allowing the GPS to read input again. I used this style of switch because the covers come in various colors (mine is Carbon Fiber), most of these switches are metal, location gives some weather protection, mostly I can't inadvertently bump the switch and turn off the system.
NO MORE STOPPING!
