You will need
1 BMW canbus plug(If you have trouble finding one PM me I can get them)
1 GPS power cable
Small amount of 4-5 mm and 3-4mm heat shrink
solder
soldering iron
heat gun
wire strippers
wire cutters
Unroll the GPS cable and cut off the inline fuse. The canbus system will protect the GPS unit. If you really really want to keep it in but I don't feel there is any need.
Thread the end of the GPS cable though a piece of 5-6mm heat shrink about 15 cm long then bare the ends of the wires
On the BMW socket there are 3 yellow wires numbered 1,2,3.
1 is negative/earth
2 is spare/pulse
3 is positive/ live
Cut number 2 short but not too short you want to be able to tuck it in the heat shrink later. Trim 1 & 2 thread on the 3-4 mm heat shrink as shown
Tin and solder the wires Black to wire 1 Red to wire 3
Cover the joints with the heat shrink and gently play the heat gun over them
Slide the larger piece of heat shrink up over both joints remembering to tuck the tale of wire 2 in the top and repeat with the heat gun
Thats the cable complete
The cable plugs into a matching socket attached to the wiring harness located around the headstock. It is covered with a black blanking plug and can be hard to find. The blanking plug has a sprung clip at its base which needs pressing while you remove it.
