Aux Buss + Intercom and other powered goodness

Don’t mean to clog up the section with Aux Buss threads but Im going to anyway……
I installed Painless Performance Circuit Boss 7 with 3 constant hot and 4 "aux" hot circuits.
I have used this unit several times before so I stuck with what I liked. I originally purchased a Blue Sea 7 circuit unit but oped for the Painless unit for several reasons.

1.The unit is smaller.
2.The wires are potted and attached.
3.Comes with relay controlled Aux circuit/
4.Has a "weatherproof" cover.

I gobbled up the circuits immediately with : Rock Lights, Front light Bar, Front driving lights, Lighted Whips, Intercom, Rear Light Bar, .
I used tinned Marine and Aircraft wire exclusively.

Intercom: I installed a Rugged Radios "ultimate"4 place unit with DSP and the Bluetooth unit for music.
Very pleased with the performance of the unit, can communicate with everyone clearly without raising your voice.

Listening to music is clear and the VOX works killer to lower the volume when you speak.
I plan on pairing a 2M radio with it for backcountry Com.

Small single led

When several of us ride together we ask all to ride with the headlights on so we can see each other thru the dust. On my old RZR I had some "Audi style" lights I put in the headlight housing. I just bought a 900 s and want a few single LED To let others see me in the mirror without the Brite of the headlights. Any ideas?

GPS not connecting with satellites. Fixed!

My 2015 900XC was not connecting with GPS satellites on the interactive display model. After much research I have found that other people are having this same problem. I checked the wiring on the front firewall and sure enough the GPS receiver under the hood was plugged into the diagnostics port. I unplugged it and plugged it into the plug going to the display and it worked. Hope this helps others having this issue.
