Connector Pin Broken

[Searanger]

Hi Guys
After a fault in which my navigator switched off after a few minutes each time I tried to use it I cleaned the pins with a pencil eraser and noticed that one of the flexible pin connectors on the bike harness side of the connection was broken - as these pins are bent to provide contact pressure this is obviously the fault.
Has anyone else experienced having to replace this connector - does it involve removing the complete harness and replacing it?
Mine was dealer fitted so I have not investigated how complex (or easy) the job is - or where to get a quick replacement.
Thanks

What type of Navigator do you have - a I, II, II+, or III?

You can order a replacement motorcycle cable for any one of these from Garmin - they are not expensive, about $20 or so. It should not be too difficult for you to replace it, there are only 4 wires used - two for DC power, and two for the audio output.

I have a 11 and my concern is the cable seems to be part of the GPS mount rather than a removable connection - I assume $20 does not include the mount!

Power suply for Nav 2 is a removeable cable plugs into nav unit and back of unit fixed to bike [back of extra buttons] round plug. If you have a 1200GS and unit is only powered with ignition ON then its a standard lead and plugs into bike near front of fuel tank. Hope this helps.
