Of no use to most of you but here is a copy of a thread I posted last month. "If you are in NZ or OZ and are looking to buy a plug for the BMW accessory socket then Jaycar (www.jaycar.co.nz) stock these Merit plug NZ$5.90 Cat No PP2090 and panel sockets and adaptors. I have just bought one so I can put my bike on a trickle charger over the winter months. I also bought a panel socket as mine is getting a bit tired. I dare say they are a lot cheaper than from the dealer and are in stock"
