Looking for the TomTom connection
« on: October 13, 2017, 08:31:24 PM »
I ride a 2015 V7 Stone. I was told to look behind the headlight, tucked next to the fuel tank. After a good 20 minutes of looking, I couldn't find it. I decided to check under the seat. Above the battery, there is a little socket it has a white wire with a blue stripe and a Blue wire with a green stripe. The socket itself has 3 tiny holes. This is not the battery Tende, that has one plug and one socket and is zip tied next to the side cover.

Is the plug near the battery, the TomTom plug?

Also, does anyone know the BMW part number that uses the same plug? I'd like to use this plug to charge my phone

If just for phone.

Go to mc shop ask for phone charging kit.  Two terminals that attach to battery.  Red to red +  Black to black - Then a fulable link that end in UBS.  Plug in phone.  Same pigtail can be used to hook up battery tender.  Simple.

Believe under seat plug used for diagnostic readings.

Tom Tom plug on my 2013 V7 behind well hidden behind headlight.  Hot only when key on.  Special adapter to attach to TT base.  Don't bother yet if you don't have TT.

 What is the Tom Tom you speak of ?
Sasquatch Jim        Humanoid, sort of.

It's a GPS unit for bikes, like a Garmin.
