RE: Charging a Nav 6 - 2

When the bike is running the charging is fine. But ignition off and there is no charging going on. If you're not going to ride in the next couple of weeks you need to remove the nav and hold the power button down so the power off option comes up on the screen. That gives you some additional time until the battery goes dead.

Thanks Bob,
Other issues?

Thanks for the heads up, I have left my Nav 6 on the bike, after initially having a few issues charging it, it appears like others have said it won’t charge from a PC, but chargers fine with an iPad charger, so installed it fully charged on my R1250rs just before the lockdown managed one trip out and since then (3 weeks) its been sat on the bike with a BMW trickle charger connected.
Interestingly when I turned the bike electrics on yesterday the sat nav leapt into life and is still showing a full battery, but I’ll keep an eye on it over the next week or two, but I wonder if bmw have been clever with the canbus system to to charge the sat nav when on a canbus charger?
