has it got a blue /red and a blue/ black wire??
Part of pre wired system for BMW alarm the Big Orange plug does some of it too!
That one will bring on the indicators if you apply a positive feed

Yes i think i remember blue /red and a blue/ black wires but i don't understand the: "That one will bring on the indicators if you apply a positive feed"
Main question is: can I borrow electricity from that connector to power my GPS or additional ligts ???
Thanks again.
Nope it will only be positive when the indicators are switched on and then it will be on - off - on - off etc etc
Look for a grey with a Black stripe that is the sidelamp circuit you can use it or green with a black stripe which is ignition live
My preference is to use a wire to switch on a relay to keep any extra load from the bikes wires
The relay feeds your circuit by making and breaking a bridge across terminals 30 (Battery positive) and Term 87 which is the load circuit
The bridge is switched on or off by another positive circuit either using the sidelamp or that ignition live to terminal 85 and terminal 86 to the frame
the wire TO terminal 30 should be fused as soon as possible after departing the battery positive terminal

Thanks a lot for all the info... but i think you're speaking chinesse to me
I'm complete useless with this kind of things... so at least i know now i can't use the plug to power my GPS with is know connected directly to the battery.
It's a ZUMO 550 and i left the mout on the the bike and i kinda think the conection is draining my battery even when the gps is not connected (may be i'm wrong) and that's why i was looking for an easy way to connected using a "ignition live" connection.
Thanks a lot for the info and i will try to find some kind of tutorial for dummies about "how can i connect my gps to a 1150GS" wit A LOT of pictures.
Bye the way, excuse me for my english it's a little rusty.

The connector wont drain the battery if the gps is not mounted. I've got mine wired into an accesory socket, never had a problem.

My Zumo is connected directly to the battery on both of my bikes using the supplied wires. Even if I leave the Zumo connected but powered off there is no drain on the battery. Even after not being used for a few weeks as I found out last winter.
To save yourself some hassle I'd say leave your Zumo wired the way it is.

Certainly do not use that connector to power lights, the current is too much for the loom. At best you should only tap into the loom to control a relay and draw power from an additional fuse panel or direct from the battery.
If in doubt get a pro involved as you don't want a fire in the loom.
