Installation pics of GPS using spare connector under dash
There has been much talk recently about this connector and its usefulness as a switched supply. to set the record straight, Its certainly nothing to do with diagnostics at all. That was a red herring from a dealer somewhere.
Its a 12 volt switched supply and works the sat nav and my heated grips perfectly. I have done a pictoral walk thru for anyone considering using this as you can really tidy up those wires with a bit of effort. I can't cut my supply lead down for the Zumo as its not just a 12 volt supply, it has mic external receiver and headphones in it as well (see pics) I found that by removing the headlight cowl it was possible to house the sat nav cables and the hot grips control box behind it and well out of the way. I didn't have access to a male plug so used 2.5mm spade connectors with the sat nav and hotgrips soldered on. They each have their own fuse for safety and all is well. Spades are very secure and insulated from one another before being wrapped in insulating tape Al. |

200 miles later with grips on full all the time and sat nav switched on, all is well so you can be sure that the connector can supply the current needed.

I found putting my Garmin 350 up on the top bar above the clocks (a perfect site for the satnav) it wobbled and vibrated far too much. How do you get on with it?
In the end I fitted it to the centre of the handlebars. Also, I used the "mystery" 12v supply to switch a relay which then fed the satnav, a voltage indicator and for a future fitment of heated grips. The connections and wiring is tidily hidden within the grey plastic between tank and headlamp unit. The relay is supplied direct from the battery which also feeds an always a 12v socket - fitted to the L/H grey plastic. I'll try to get some pictures.

Recently, I asked here, where this spare 12v plug is. I got my answer, so decided to give it a go and connect my GPS.
It took me 5min !! Removed black plastic cover. Found the plug. As my GPS cable has got a line-in fuse I just sided bare ends of my GPS cable into the slots of the plug - job done!! Insulated all with tape. Nicely hidden behind plastic cover. Cover back. Off you go.... |
