3rd time round with this part, used initially to power a set of schrodie running leds and a wireless charger on a k1200r. Now used to power a quadlock wireless charger on both s1000r and f800r .Easy fit, does what it says.

Made connecting up my TomTom Rider 550 a breeze. Only fiddly bit was finding the connector on the bike. Which on mine, I now know, is located on the RHS near the headstock, and is just about reachable without having to take any panels off.

Makes wiring a Tomtom or Garmin so easy. Plugs into the connector on the loom used by the BMW Navigator. I read the instructions incorrectly and struggled to find an unused connector. Contacted Nippy Normans and got instruction from them which enabled me to get it all fitted within 5 minutes. Excellent service !

Just a bit of cable, but so useful to connect my TomTom 550 into the BMW wiring loom. No need for cutting and splicing wires, just unplug the BMW satnav feed and plug this into it. Easy peasy!!

Yes this is the cable you need if you want to remove the BMW navigator mount on your sat nav rail and plug in another nav. I used it for my TomTom rider. Simply unplug the existing cable and plug this one in. One wire is redundant, you just use 2 to wirre to your eisting sat nav cable

The lead does the job and gets 4 stars for doing wa=hat its meant to do. Frustratingly no instructions but the leads a marked up so easy enough to identify. When I say marked up they are not marked up as Positive, Negative, Earth. Just each one is a no 1 2 or 3 for example not what or where they go. But it was figured out and it works so happy days. Saves a small fortune over buying the BMW satnan.

Like all pre made leads of this type - they appear expensive for what they are - but they're invaluable. Unless you have the right connectors, a crimping tool and plenty of spare time - just bite the bullet and buy the pre made lead. Works perfectly - as designed for the job - and will save you lots of time and lots of swearing!

I bought this to wire in an after market phone holder/charger for my phone and it works perfectly. Well worth the money spent to avoid wiring straight into the battery. Power cuts off shortly after the ignition is turned off meaning I don’t have to worry about a flat battery

Connecting Lead Direct to BMW Canbus System Craig Simpson on May 17, 2022

Rating: 5

Excellent item making it exceptionally easy to wire in a TomTom or Garmin Sat Nav direct to the BMW canbus system. Simply use prepared connectors to join the power lead from your device to the connecting lead (make sure to read the instructions on NN website), clip the lead into the relevant connector on the bike and hey presto ignition switched power for your device. Not a cheap item, but BMW’s are not cheap bikes, so don’t buy cheap kit.

PLUG AND PLAY LEAD FOR CONNECTING TOMTOM/GARMIN INTO THE BMW Andy Smith on May 04, 2022

Rating: 4

i got rid of the standard garmin sat nav that bmw use with the bikes i just couldnt get used to it. i have the tomtom rider 550 and like it. When i changed over i ha to hardwire it into the bmw which was a pain as the sat nav never automatically switched on or off, so the battery could drain if you let if on for a while. i purchased this little plug and play lead, very easy to install and simple wiring. now my tomtom works as it should and powers up and down with the ignition. It seems expensive for what it is tbh and i think there are cheaper versions on ebay, but will they do the job as well. Plus for the price it is, its not worth getting stranded with a flat battery somewhere out in the sticks.

It would be a crime not to use the already available canbus system on the BMW motorcycle, I have previously used this item for a Sat Nav and as my current navigation was on direct wiring to the battery, I thought it was time to have an ignition switched system and thus is perfect, it also has many other uses, but you will need to see the blurb for that, reasonable price too but gone up as was £12 few years ago but I suppose the long term it's not too bad. Get one and try it, they also re sell too if you change bikes.

Very effective if somewhat overpriced connecting lead for my garmin onto my BMW K1200S canbus plug. Efficient service from NN. As long as you know how to solder the wires and have all the kit to do it (shrink wrap etc), a relatively straight forward job but a bit of a faff with taking off the body panels to house the loom. Wires are labelled so this makes connection a breeze. Took quite a while to complete the job but SATNAV now turns off with ignition and will never drain the battery!

This lead is simplicity itself. The three leads are easily identifiable and soldering them to my Tomtom lead made a good connection. The lead then just plugs staight into the plug provided by BMW near the headstock of the bike. You then have a GPS that works via the ignition.

The owner manual for the F800GT does not explain where the plug is for this lead:, When looking forward on the bike, The Plug is normally strapped to the right-hand side of the battery by a fiber strand. This lead and plug can be moved and held by a tywraps, and this socked-lead then fed through the fairing to any specific point to fit a GPS. Lead polarity as indicated works on the TomTom 400. This plug remains powered for several minutes after turning the main switch off.

This connecting lead is a great piece of kit. I normally plug the sat nav into the auxiliary power socket which in hindsight was a pain. The socket you need to connect the lead to is near the horn on the left side looking from the front of your bike. There is a similar socket near the headstock which is a little further back this is NOT the socket you require. The lead has worked as described and after turning the ignition off the TOM TOM 400 shuts down automatically after about 15 seconds.

No more flt battery because you forgot to turn off your sat nav... it will now ask if you want it to stay on or it will turn off automatically after 30 seconds. Great bit of DIY kit.
