Freewire Power Adapter
There are some posts on here requesting that the Free wire come with a USB power adapter instead of a cigarette lighter adapter. I would like to add my vote to that request but to also state that it would make much more sense to have a USB-Pin power adapter than a USB-USB one. The Freewire I just bought came with Cigarette-USB which is pretty useless as I cannot charge the device while riding. Much more useful would be Cigarette-PIN or (preferably) USB-Pin. These latter two options would allow for charging while riding and using the auto-on/off feature.

I have also requested that change, the issue there is usb are lower voltage than the 12v lighter. My suggestion was to wire the connector to the loom where the light is getting power from using the factory mtw connector. Get rid of the coiled wire and shorten them to a leight the would allow to remove the glove box. Remove the din connection plug and use the same method to wire that to the loom connector. Finally provide a split seal for the hole where the lighter was. And provide mounting instructions to install Freewire in the box or (in my installation) the lid. wire is out of sight along with the freewire thus reducing wet and theft.

I would just like to know what the power requirement is. Lighter is 12 volt, usb is 5v. Is the charger output 12 or 5 vdc?

I don't like using the cigar lighter jack to permanent mount the freewire. There is no keeper for the unit connector and no keeper for the cigar lighter. It is inviting intermittent operation.
