Next, secure the cable to the back side with two cable-ties, as shown. This will keep it from moving around and breaking wires while the connections are made in following steps. Here's the top view of the two cable ties. Don't worry about that crooked white connector on the BN-180 -- it can be pushed firmly back into place at any time during the build. Here is the completed wiring, per the original diagram. All connections now made, including the _12V (red in this case) wire from the AUX cable to the diode on RAW. UPDATE: The Pro Micro gets too hot when completely encased in heat-shrink, so I have now cut away the enclosure from the first 2cm or so back from the USB connector, to allow it to cool. The photo does NOT show this. A bit of clear heat-shrink tubing is melted around the assembly to lock everything in place, making for a nice and slim protective enclosure. The completed GPS accessory, which can just be plugged into the mount and left to dangle; no other form of attachment is necessary.
