1200 GPS Accessory Socket

[BobJ]

Been waiting for 2 weeks now for NOG to get me one of these so I can hard wire my GPS via the plug tucked in with the wiring loom near the head stock. Does anyone know of a dealer with a ready (or quicker) supply as I think mine's got to be shipped form Germany Yes, I know I could remove the tank etc. etc. and connect straight to the battery but if there's a specific socket there for GPS why not use it I say

I have the same problem. My dealer informed me it is classified as a workshop only part and not for resale to the General Public, and since the recent post showing it's existence BMW dealers have been receiving a LOT of orders for it.
I hope you have more success than I have. I hope the stocks have just been depleted with the recent demand.

Sorry cannot help.

Hi Bobj, My dealer wanted £45 For the little plug in your photo. I ended up wiring mine via the ascessory socket to the side of the seat.

seems to be a lot of difference in dealer attitude to selling this item,one i rang two dealers and one said not available buy a whole lead for e85 and the other guy said no bother will have it in a week at less than a third of the cost.it pays to shop around and says a lot about how dealers value customers

D'oh!

That's an excellent photo documentary of how to make the useful Canbus cable, in the <a href=http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=117400>"sticky"</a> Stumpy.

I just wished I saw it before giving 50€ (roughly £30) to my BMW dealer for such a cable only yesterday!

Lesson to learn, always take a look at the technical pages before visiting the BMW dealer and parting with too much hard earned cash!

BTW - How much would this cable have cost if I'd made it myself, considering I've already got a GPS power cable to butcher? I can also source all of the tools at work.
