Very helpful for tomorrow's project, thanksThis connector is energized when the bike is powered on. It turns off about a minute after the bike is powered down.

It's a common situation with modern machines. After powering down, systems stay in power for a while, as residual capacitance is exhausted.This connector is energized when the bike is powered on. It turns off about a minute after the bike is powered down.
I think it is on a relay, I can hear it click at the same time my driving lights go out.It's a common situation with modern machines. After powering down, systems stay in power for a while, as residual capacitance is exhausted.
SUNUVAGUN. It may be that my partial hearing loss keeps me from hearing the relay. Thanks, HF. But now I'm wondering why the OEM would program a delay such that power shuts down on the accessory power source after killing the ignition.I think it is on a relay, I can hear it click at the same time my driving lights go out.
I think I read in the manual the accessories are shut off this way to protect the battery from going dead if you as a human forget.SUNUVAGUN.

Where is this switched accessories connector you're referring to? What does it look like? It would be so much easier if you posted a picture of the connector.I power my Tomtom Rider off of a switched accessories connector under the left side cover.
Hey, Mucker, I did reply to your post sometime ago asking kindly for a picture of the connector you were talking about and I got nothing but silence.I power my Tomtom Rider off of a switched accessories connector under the left side cover.

What happened? Has the cat got your tongue?
You need yo face to the East and talk much, much louder.Like I said, I wasn't aware...
Thanks for letting me know.
It will work and not interfere with the CanBus system. The brown wire is ground the other is 12 volt positive. It will remain on for a few minutes after the ignition is switched off by design.So I am in the process of finalizing adding a sound system permanently to my bike. I need an accessory wire that is off when the bike is off to tap into. What wire do you folks use?
Is there a recommended wire to tap so as not to interfere with the systems electrical? Will the accessory port work, if so, which or either of the two wires should I tap into? I tapped into positive and grounded the way stated above. Now I just need a keyed wire to tap into. Please advise!
I did send you a private message yesterday.Just wired in TomTom nav. Nav wires go to oem switched aux plug already fitted under LHS cowl inside the battery cover. 3 pin female connector on the bike (only 2 wires used) plugs into BMW supplied “repair plug”. See photos. Super easy.
