gps installation on r1200rt

[kdiver]

I have mounted my garmin zumo and now I would like help on connecting the electrical power. I found what looks like an unused circuit terminated on the frame in front under the headlights. The square terminal appears to have a cap on the end. Is this in fact a spare terminal and are special connectors required. If so, where can they be purchased. 2006 R 1200 RT. Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

Congratulations, you have found the elusive BMW GPS Plug. Yes there is a plug/cable available.

 

It is called a Maintenance plug, and the part number is floating around this Forum, or also look on the Zumo Forums as well:

Thanks for the help. This forum is impressive.

Do an extended (2-3 year) search for P/N 83300413585 (or "Repair Connector"). Cost is about $20

My dealer couldn't find his -585 cables so sold me a 61.11.0.415.843 cable instead. The 843 is evidently commonly used on the Authority bikes and is longer and more expensive than the 585 - so don't get it unless that's all that's available.

We only need to go as far as the Archive for Hexhead Maintenance and Parts thread.
