You wanted a clean 12V supply for your custom electrics. The only clean 12V supply is provided by the regulated 12V output for the wireless bridge. Eric mentioned that for your application the regulated 12V supply does not offer the 90 Watts you need; only 20 Watts, and it's also by rule exclusively for the wireless bridge.

In the end, if you want a regulated (clean) 12V supply you will have to provide it yourself by attaching to the unregulated outputs (the ones with circuit breakers you add in yourself.)
