The link above will show you two alternatives. I am "runnerhiker" in that forum, just like here.
The Wunderlich adapter is the easiest way to mount the XT if you have the OEM BMW GPS mount.
The MotoPump will be a sturdier mount because it has fewer parts, less weight, and more rigid mount. I ordered the BMW plug pigtail mentioned in the YT video but I don't have it yet, I'll get it tomorrow. When I get it, I'll compare it to your picture to see if it matches.
One comment about the CanBus. On my S1000XR, the BMW Nav looses power immediately upon turning off the ignition. The Zumo XT mounted on the BMW GPS OEM mount does not loose power immediately upon turning off the ignition, it takes a variable length of time, 30-60 seconds. That means the CanBus recognizes the BMW Nav as a GPS, but it only sees the Zumo XT as an accessory connected to the electrical system.
