Sat Nav connector
Hi, I’ve just purchased a 24 plate, I like to use a Garmin XT for Navigation so went to connect to the usual white connector plug down close to the left fork like on my previous 21 model but it’s connected to something. Anyone know what it’s powering and is there a different connection somewhere other than straight to the battery so it runs through the canbus system and shuts down with the ignition please

The rear power socket can be used as a +ve switched live with the -ve connected to the battery.

Treat yourself to an Hex eZcan. That way you can add upto 4 items to your bike. Like extra lights or Denali Horn and so on. You can set the sat-nav to turn off itself from 0 of 60 seconds delay.

Have a check up front behind the headlight the navprep pre TFT was connected under there maybe the 24 plate still has that connector too

Re: Sat Nav connector
On my 2023 Rt the white connector was still available but was tucked right down at the headstock just in front of the left side of the tank/frame. It did have another plug inserted but this was just a blanking plug. Can't see that there should be any difference for your bike, mine has all the options apart from the hipster 719 mods

Re: Sat Nav connector
I’ve used the same plug on my 21 model that was also fitted with a blank, but the new bike has a cable attached and can’t see where it’s going. My 21 model also had every extra fitted so I’m stumped.Loopers wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2024 11:35 pm On my 2023 Rt the white connector was still available but was tucked right down at the headstock just in front of the left side of the tank/frame.
