Default RE: GPS to accessory switch

I'm going to wire my GPS to the accessory plug under the seat. I know I have to get an end at the dealer to plug into the accessory plug. What does this plug look like. Are there more that 1 plug under the seat? If so how do I determine the correct one(I know nothing about meters, etc). I'm on dangerous ground here

Thanks
The plug is the only one there that is unused with a rubber plug in it from the factory.

What you need is the mating plug for it and the 4 wire connectors too.

72114-94BK (1) Sealed socket housing $4.50
72154-94 (1)Secondary lock 4 socket $0.70
72191-94 (4) Stamped and formed socket $6.96

Easy to put it together, just check the wiring for the proper terminal in the bike socket, they all do something different.

There's no point in using up the Acc. switch on a GPS, as it should be powered when the bike is running. The GPS has an on-off switch, so all you need is power when the ignition is on and if you want if off turn it off using the GPS switch. Go to your Acc. switch wiring and splice into the O/R (orange with red stripe) wire in series. This will give you power whenever the ignition is on. The O (orange) wire is switched. I used this wire because it was convenient, but you can use any wire powered by the ignition switch, like the lighter. Then ground the GPS wherever it's convenient. Diagram is attached.

You can splice into the ACC wire without cutting it. Just peel back the plastic insulation about 1", then wind the bare wire of the GPS + wire around it. Place a piece of heatshrink on one wire and slide it out of the way, then solder the connection. Finally, position the heatshrink and hit it with a match to shrink. You could cut the Acc. wire and use a solderless connector of some sort, but it may not hold over time.

like the pics/diagram glide.
Advantages to acc switch are that zumo's on/offis 2 buttons that have to be pushed similtaniously, on acc switch 1 switch only to turn on/off,zumo draws power even when bike sits if directly wired,no spliceing,ezy/clean to run wires under tank trim and around switch faring(nodissasembly req),who cares if mounts left on bike?when time comes? clean removel.
