What kind of plug is on the viper for a heated shield? Is there a cigarette plug or a RCA type plug.....or no plug in at all?

Yamaha makes a plug that goes in there and it has the proper connector to plug your heated shield into.

There is a two prong plug inside of right side panel. It has male and female end on it. I went to local car parts store. Advanced auto in trailer section and bought matching connecter so I didn't cut any factory wires. Been great all year

Bcporsche that is good news did not really want to get a cigarette to RCA type converter.
I have hooked up RCA female plugs to access in past, but recent sleds ie vector and venture had RCA built into left handle bar grip area...but guess can hook up another RCA plug glad to hear easy access. Is this a fused circuit?

Was thinking about buying the Yamaha RCA receptacle and wiring it to my Viper. Then I found it costs about $100. GMAX makes a cord that will plug into the Cat 2 prong plug and has an RCA at the other end for heated shield. Could be longer but it works.

Are you saying there is a cigarette plug on the viper? I should have been clearer in my post.... I have both style plugs and I am getting to ride a viper this weekend and I did not know if the viper has any plugs from the factory on it. My Apex has both.

Yes there is a cigarette lighter on the left side of the gauge.

This is what you need. http://store.arcticcat.com/product/6610 ... SHLDTXIPFP
It connects to the accessory plug on the sled and has a rca connector on the other end.

The bigger question is which ones have the plug std and which ones do not? I know the DX models for 2015 have both, but I thought the std models did not in 2014. I don't recall seeing a plug for a shield on the RTX SE that I rode, but I did not look hard and left my cord in the helmet bag figuring there was none.

I may have misstated as i can't seem to find the documentation any more, but I swear I saw it. Cat has better documentation and as I recall the ones with the heated seats get the extra doo-dads.
Why Yamaha couldn't post some nice pics of the cockpit online is beyond me. Not even in the brochure. No spec chart, nothging.

Cat LXR:
Push-button reverse, dual halogen headlight (2-bulb), front bumper, adjustable handlebar, deluxe digital gauge, electric gas gauge, low oil light, coolant overheat light, coolant temp, intake air temp, battery voltage, low fuel light, clock, high/low hand & thumb warmers, accessory outlet, mid-height windshield, electric start, rear storage bag, heated seat
Nothing about the shield plug.
Doo GSX has both maybe that is what confused me. To me it's a no brainer to equip DX machines with both like cruise control and power windows on a car.

I would not trust Cat specs, Cats now come with dual carbides, I saw a 2015 XF with the plastic plates to deflect snow on the back of the tunnel.
