1200GS GPS socket (headstock)

[ericthebrave]

Is the factory wired gps socket on the 1200GS (the one near the headstock) meant to power off with the ignition? Mine seems to stay live (if i stick the GPS in the cradle an hour or so after leaving the bike it shows its still connected to external power)... or is there a special way to turn it on / off.

Thanks

My factory wired Navigator 2 through that socket turns off with the CANBUS after 30 seconds when the key is removed. I suspect yours may be wired differently to standard.

It's supposed to switch off within about 60 seconds of the ignition being turned off. There is/was an issue with the software having to be updated to ensure this happened.

Mine stayed on indefinately until the dealer loaded new software.

I believe it's been discussed at length elsewhere here.....

was this the thread you were thinking of?

Its an intermittent problem on mine, sometimes it switches of, and other times it doesnt. Plus, when i start the bike the quest powers off and then wont run on bike power through the gps socket. I'll have a word with the dealers this week and see if it needs a software update.
