I didn't see anything about this on the forum after a search. The owners manual covers it on only the vaguest way. Does anyone know what the onboard power socket is rated for? I was talking to a riding buddy of mine. He uses a Gebing heated gear set up of a jacket liner and gloves. It's a very similar set up to my Mobile Warming set up of jacket liner and gloves but without the worry of battery life. Also, I hear the 12v gear is way warmer than 7v. He has his set up hard wired. I assume that the purpose of the power port on the right side of the seat is to plug in heated gear or similar but the manual doesn't give a rating for it. I don't mind hard wiring in either but why if the port is there and will support it. Also, if anyone would care to make a heated gear recommendation I'm listening. My wife is looking for Christmas ideas. I'm tired of dealing with batteries and the batteries and nearing the end of their useful life and need to be replaced anyway. |

Zitat von Davidnapo im Beitrag #1 You currently have a 7V battery system? If it's warm enough, try a voltage converter and buy a fused lead for your battery Werbung: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115064997950

Zitat von Davidnapo im Beitrag #1 For many years a lot of us used the port for heated gear and tire pumps but when BMW started using Canbus the port could no longer run those. About all the port is good for is a Canbus compatible battery maintainer. The easiest thing is add a pigtail direct to the bike battery. Back in the 80s we used 12V heated vests and in 2003 both of us started to use Gerbing 12V jackets. Last year we changed to Warm and Safe Generation Waterproof. We like the feel of the material and they look nice enough to wear off the bike at night. The Red Waterproof has been on sale for $169 and when we bought our we used a 20% off coupon code from ADV forum. I'll look to see if they still have the discount code. We also changed to remote controllers when we purchased the Warm and Safe jackets. Here's the link for the jacket https://www.warmnsafe.com/collections/12...liner-in-colors https://www.warmnsafe.com/collections/12...ng-power-sports Here's the different controllers. The controllers can be used with other brand heated gear. https://www.warmnsafe.com/collections/heat-troller Lee (2).jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Lee.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Lee |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #3 The last post in the discount thread was Dec 2021, so I don't know for sure if it still works. https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/warm-...reased.1431793/

Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #6 BMW used to sell a cable that went from the power socket direct to the battery. We had that added on our K1300S. Didn't do it on the R1200RS because the socket is on the wrong side for heated gear. All the heated gear I've seen has the lead on the left side of the garment and I would not like a cable laid across my lap to plug in on the right side of the bike.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #7Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #6 I have an SAE lead that plugs into the socket and I then plug my Keis jacket into the SAE lead. It's this connection that disconnects if I forget I am wired in if I dismount. The Keis lead is on the right but not exactly difficult to run the SAE lead under the seat so that a pig tail pops out at the front or left side as needed.

Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #6 Since the DIN (BMW) connector is fairly uncommon in the US, I've never considered the CANBUS limited outlet to be something worthy of attention or upgrading.
