BMW Motorrad Heatup Vest

[LakesRider]

Hi all - apologies if this is a stupid question...

I have a BMW R1200GS (2008) and I bought a secondhand BMW Motorrad HeatUp vest. From what I can see, this will be fine to operate from the DIN plug under the left hand side of my seat, as it is 35w max draw (~3A).

The vest has a small round plug, so I need a cable that has a DIN plug on one end and a small round socket that will fit the vest controller on the other. Are these a common size?

I have looked online and I can see these cables for other makes of heated gear, e.g. https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/mo...20080?gad_campaignid=17349036866&glCountry=GB

I have no idea if these will fit the Motorrad HeatUp Vest.

Does anyone know where I can get the correct cable, what these small plugs/sockets are called, or even if the cables for other heated gear will power my vest?

Thanks in advance all

Phil

I use one of these OptiMate O39 Din Plug To DC... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00Y38X0FC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Amazing, thank you. So that Optimate DIN Plug is compatible with the socket at the side of the seat?

If your bike has the BMW standard din socket, then yes it will fit.

It should come with a double female adaptor, to allow correct connection to the vest. I slipped a bit of heat shrink tube over it and the vest plug, so as not to lose it.

Thanks, that's worth knowing.

Ignore my last, the controller will plug straight in. I put heat shrink over the controller connector to stop me losing it off the vest.

The amazon listing includes a full sheet showing the cables and uses - really helpful. Thanks.
