Hi all, first thread here so be gentle with me OK?

I'm planning a solo trip next year from the UK to Nordkapp. I've managed to sort out the difficult logistics such as the lack of ferry services (going to travel freight instead - much cheaper and there's a route from Hull to Kristiansand).

However, I'm looking to make sure I've got power to the essential devices on the trip [ipod and cellphone]. Since my bike doesn't have a cigarette lighter style socket installed, and to be honest I'd rather have hardwired cables fitted under the seat I'm in a little bit of a dilemma - whilst I can still just about wield a soldering iron, my knowledge of electronics per-se kind of petered out after leaving uni some *mumble mumble* years ago.

If I obtain flyleads for my phone and ipod with 12v car connectors on the end which I then hack off - is there anything that I need (aside from the fuse) to wire in? If anyone has a handy circuit which I can work to that would be an even greater bonus

iPod is a standard G3 iPod with Dock and the phone is a Sony Ericsson K800 if it makes any difference. The iPod will be cabled into my Autocom for the audio and the phone will be hooked up for audio via Bluetooth so only power is required.


Many thanks in advance,
Stumpy.
