I got a 660 off a chap on here, a couple of years ago now (thinking about it, probaby 4, because the last 3 have disappeared). It was in a Touratech mount, silver frame with a spring loaded 'lid that telescopes upwards to permit removal of the screen, after you press the release button. It is on my X Country.
For the old nail X Challenge I wanted a mounting so I could use the same screen uniit... I bought a Touratech lockable mount that was for the 660. Again off a chap on here. It came and is all there and everything, but it is different. My other one I have to press the 'on' button for on/off, which is fine, in fact I quite like it, it is simpler and there is just the power lead to plug into the under seat electric socket. This 'new' one has a very complicated wiring setup that involves 4 different wires coming out of a sealed rubber block that takes it all to the mounting unit. I have asked him, but he just unwrapped it from his F800GS and sent it as was. I have cleaned all the wires and the unit and everything, but I don't know how to plug it in. There is no straightforward plug into the cigarette lighter socket wire - he said it was wired so it came on and off with the ignition key, other than that he couldn't help.
I can solder a cigarette socket plug on if I knew which wires to use. Can anyone help at all please? As in how do I recognise what wires I need?
