Is the accessory socket on the 1150GS a standard "cigarette" lighter type socket?

I am after one of these for my MP3 player for when I go on trips.....but not sure whether it will fit.

Nope, it's not.

You can get an adaptor from any BWM dealer or from Nippy Norm or similar for about 7 quid, but the BWM type (powerlit or various other names) is different.

If you try a search for power socket, you'll find many pages of info and some good links to suppliers.

no, it's slightly different. might be a called marine plug.

i got a dual plug from motabitz in ferndown that fits both the 1150 socket + ordinary car cigarette lighter sockets.

THIS place has the male and female (standard) BMW type plugs

When you say standard "cigarette" lighter type socket, do you mean a standard type plug or a cigarette lighter type one?

 

[John Armstrong]

You could always replace the BM socket with a cigarette type.

It's actually the official DIN standard 12V plug for outside application. All other bikes are using the wrong type according to DIN and the EC...

Bateman - WTF is it? Just a charger?

Cut the male end off this..............

And connect up to this..........

And you should be able to connect it up without any fannying about!!

Bateman - WTF is it? Just a charger?

Its just a charger, but has a USB connection at the end so I can charge, for example, an MP3 player that needs to be plugged into an ISB socket (eg iPod shuffle, Q-BE). thought I could take it on my bike trips abroad.

Wozzer - I also have the Q-BE, hence the reason I was looking at this. Available on amazon - just type in USB Charger. Its £5.49

I ended up buying an International USB travel charger which has a number of different plug adaptors, and a USB socket on. Obvioulsy can only be used if I am somewhere with a plug though.
