What is this plug?

Can anyone please help me identify this plug? What is it for and is it supposed to have a cover?

This is taken from the left side of the bike, just under the tank.

Air temp sensor? Maybe the plug off the charcoal cannister? Did you by the bike used?

Interesting! Is that the circular diagnostic socket I can see too? I'm almost sure mine has a cover on it and no wires plugged into it. Is that something you fitted?

No idea what the plug you are asking about is for, sorry!

If I clearly see on the pics,
the plug is for draining and removing air from the fuel pump. I know this because I had to put it away while removing my air box, and the RSD software indicates the plug is for draining the fuel pump and fuel system. What I am not sure is how to use it and when.....

Bought the bike brand new. I just came across this "plug" while I was trying to pigtail GPS to the battery, looking how I can tuck the wires. Thanks.

Pdm 60

Think this should probably go here.

I'm wiring in a PDM 60 into my NineT - one of the wires needs to connect to powered ignition line (so that it only switches on when the ignition has been turned on). Does anyone know a safe electical point I can 'posi tap' into it?

The wiring harness on this thing is a bit of a mystery

This is the Aux plug. Here you may mount a Navi, or something else.
The female plug you get from BMW or cheaper from Touratec.

Agree with this. You can find the auxiliary plug under the tank on the left side - roughly around the area immediately behind the front indicators and down from the BMW tank badge. You should find it zip-tied to the frame and should be able to get to it without removing the tank. I used it for it's intended purpose as a Sat Nav power feed. It's wired through the canbus system so it powers up when you turn the ignition on and powers down about a minute after the ignition is switched off.

Any other easy to get to place besides headlight?

From the factory GPS plug would be be vote, see this thread for details.

@Lost Rider Yes Sir, that did cross my mind. However, if one wiring in a light of a type (Such as myself) GPS plug stays on for 2 minutes after bike has been shut down. This may or may not be desirable to have light on for extra two minutes draining juice from the battery, as i understand it would.
Of course positive spin on this would be to call it official car lingo - Home Safe (or something like that) Light and pimp it out as a safety feature that lights your path to the house and than goes off in 2 minutes.

PS: Are not you proud of me digging up old relevant thread instead of starting a new one?

What about the running lights from the rear plug?

The Home Safe Light (like that name) extra feature is exactly why I just did that on my 12R with the additional lighting wired with a relay that's off a delayed circuit. I have the same thing through a PDM-60 solid state power distribution block/relay on the Husaberg. If BMW did it though, that option would cost $169.

I like two minutes to get settled and have no concerns about my LED Aux lights being on for two minutes, and can always just hit the bar mounted kill switch too. Been doing it for years.
Now, if someone was to be using a high power non-led light that could be different...
In that case to be safe I would probably just tap the tail light circuit and run a wire up to the relay.



A gold star for you, nice work.




Think we should merge this into the Wiring Thread?

... GPS plug stays on for 2 minutes after bike has been shut down

Not wanting to be a typical German correcting everyone but it stays on for 1 Minute only.

I did the same, connected my Kellermann Running-Light/indicators and the LED tail-light to the GPS plug.

Kind of cool parking the bike, walking away while the running- and tail light is still going (Tail-light is dimmed tho, used a resistor to dimm it down; and don't forget to use a diode if you connect the GPS supply to the tail light!).

So often that people yell out... hey your light is still on!

anyway... my five cents.

Great work. Now, as a genuine amateur electrician, what's the SIMPILIST way to hard wire a radar detector to the nineT? I have already used the GPS plug for the GPS. SIMPILE ��
Thanks.....

Get a plug for the accessory socket under the tank on the left side.

 

[Bert1989]

Like to hard wire it with out the "cigarette lighter" adapter. Is that what you meant?

You could just splice into the wires feeding it. You might need the receptacle for something later. It's a DIN receptacle, not a cigarette lighter socket.

 

[Bert1989]

Excellent. I'll tap into the DIN circuit. Thanks

 

[GSJOEL]

Does the BMW part have posi lock connectors like Touratech, or bare wires at the ends? And if you add an SAE or Coax connector to it can it be used to power heated gear? I know the stock accessory socket can't.

Thanks
