I have aquired a sat nav system through work. I have just been to Pidcocks and they want £65 for a lead to connect to the bike. As anyone done it , preferably a bloody site cheaper. I have the earphones and lead,so just require the power connection.It is a shame to just use it in the car.

Err, lots cheaper - £12.45 suit you?

Look here - http://www.lynks.co.uk./cables.html

Scroll down to the pDpo. I use this on my GPS V but the SPIII is identical in terms of connection for power and data.

I'v added a socket to the dash area on mine and added a BM plug to the power lead above so that when the GPS is off the bike there are no cables left hanging.

Any other GPS questions just ask - I seem to have acquired enough knowledge to reach anorak status.

[Edit] Thinking about it, you can't just wire this into the battery - you will need an inline fuse of 0.5A (check this rating). I've put mine between the battery and the power socket.

Adam,

that is my sort of cheap.Thanks a lot for the help. I have been told to use the stick on mount provided with the car kit,do you agree? I have a lockable Touratech mount,but no bracket to fix on the bike.

Personally I wouldn't use the stick on mount and Garmin bracket - I've read of people watching their expensive GPS leave the bike and bounce down the tarmac.

Rob B uses a Touratech mount (and possibly Chris C as well) but there is also the RAM mount and Saeng mount options.

I had access to a relatively cheap Saeng and was going to give that a go but decided to stick with my V and RAM mount in the end.

With the RAM mount you need a yoke clamp in place of the U bolt mount and this clamps to the ignition barrel.

For the Touratech you need the "Anbauadapter BMW R1100S Sport"

Go to the online shop, BMW, R1100S and then scroll down - 4th item I think.

Rob,

thanks for the offer. We are a long way apart,so I will explore other avenues first,but may get back to you.

Adam,

checked the touratech site as suggested. What does "high steering wheel only " mean,and will this bracket fit a standard `S`

I think that means the high bars option where they're above the yoke but I vaguely recall Mike's (Boxertools) bars being the standard below yoke set up and that looked ok - Mike, can you confirm this is correct?

Adam

Mike,

I have the locking mount so only need the mounting bar. Can you confirm it fits the standard bars.

Its a terrible thing, age.
You know where your going,

Mick

Reg,
The locking mount fits the standard bars on the mounting bars as in my last post.

Perhaps a polite word in the right ears about the merits of exciting motorcycle racing compared with the tedium of 22 men kicking a bag of wind about ( Im a Leicester fan).
