To all of you who responded to my initial inquiry regarding problems I experienced with connecting my Zumo XT using the BMW provided plug: Thanks very much and sorry for my late response as I have been away for quite some time with no access to this forum.
Thank you for the enlightenment on the subject of late shutdown/powering off of the Zumo XT.
And to sum up what I did: I ended up ordering an original mating plug from BMW as opposed to the one I originally ordered from EBay (a product from China that had same pin arrangement but mechanically I am not sure it made sn absolutely positive electrical connection/continuity with the Mari g plug that comes with the bike. I also had another new Garming power cable with the DC-DC converter and used it instead of the older one…All this to eliminate any faulty connections/soldering and such. The short of it is that system now works well. Indeed the Zumo will shut down when switching off the bike. However I have noticed it took no less than about a minute for the Zumo to also shut down following turning off bike’s ignition.
Again, thank you alll!!
