Need mating connector for wire under BMW insignia above handlebars

[tlippy]

Anyone found where to buy the mating connector, preferably with a wire pigtail?

What year and model do you have? My '13 GT doesn't have a lighted roundel.

The connector is under the plastic part with a BMW round symbol - just above the key. I see a connector attached to the black bar running parallel with the handlebars. I think this is the connector people talk about when adding things to be switched ON/OFF

The connector is for adding the BMW GPS. I have used it to power my cell phone and Garmin GPS using the BMW part # 61128544442, just spliced in to the end, there are 3 wires, one is positive powered on with key, one is ground and the other is for speed pulse as I recall, not used.

I bought one on eBay but you can find online or at a BMW dealer.

I cut the plug off stripped the ends and hard wired my gps soldering and using shrink wrap (each wire) the brown wire is ground and there is no third wire behind the plug.
I also hard wired a socket and usb port under the seat using the same method

Here is what I did with mine. (see link below for earlier post) Purchased the connector and pigtail so I could return to factory condition if electrical issues or other and dealer might blame on the accessories or to resell. You could also just make a connection to the live and ground as JUSTSCOOTIN did, nothing against that, it will work.

Ah, now I remember that wire. I used it to connect to a socket on the lower handlebar cover that powers my Gerbing heated jacket and gloves.
