[jacko]

just purchased autocom active-plus, before i start sawing,cable tieing, sticky tapeing it to my 1200gs anybody got info for my pics would help, also was going to use 9v battery, did not want to interfere with bms space ship wiring unless there is a easy option again pics please. my last fiddle with my bm resulted in ringing international rescue(bmw 0800) were a kind technition sorted it out over the phone,after fitting touratech handguard add ons i had no brakes, the brake lever was fouling the guard whitch then shuts the servo brakes down. so keep it simple. jacko...............

Easy Peasy

Easiest place I have found is te pretty useless bracket between tank and front seat that, I think, is designed for the manual. If you still have the big O ring thatfits the bracket, it wraps round an Autocom a treat.

For power I originally just plugged it into the accessory socket but found it sometimes cut out when the bike was started - and stayed out. Now take the power straight from the battery (WITH IN LINE FUSE) through a relay.The relay is switched from power taken from the GPS connector which can be found semi-covered by wiring loom covering to the left of the headstock. You could just as easily power the relay from wires soldered to the back of the accessaory socket or there is also a switched supply avialable on the diagnostic socket (at rear of the tool tray).

thanks for the speedy reply job done, the hardest bit was fitting the head gear in the helmet

if you do end up using 9v battery for power.......

don't worry if the sound on your walkman (assuming you use one) goes fuzzy through the autocom...it is simply a sympton of the batter going flat...just change the battery...

thanks steveuk if you use 9v battery how long do they last?

Not long if using Mp3 player on loud. Maybe 2 hours max from my Pro7 sport with a 9v alkaline battery, hence going over to bike power (taken from rear of on-bike auxiliary socket).

not sure-have had mine hardwired for a year or so now ...i was only reminded the other day by a colleague (who had just bought a brand new set and was complaining about sound distorion) using 9v battery the other day....
