Finally got round to hardwiring my Quest cradle to the bike (GS1150). A BMW mechanic told me how to do it. For electro-numpties like myself this is how:
Take off the plug from the GPS wire, get a 'Scotch lock' to tap the hot wire into the green and white wire (think its a brake light wire?) under the RHS frame below the seat. Then connect the negative wire to one of the seat mount bolts as the earth.
The GPS only works when the ignition is on too.
After going for a few runs with the GPS on, its working well and so far nothing has burst into flames yet which is always a good sign...
