Removing the BMW Motorcycle Navigation Cradle

#bmw #bmwmotorrad #gps #bca
Are you tired of staring at your empty navigation cradle on your BMW motorcycle. In this video I will show you how to remove it.

This video is great. Thank you so much. I did this job in less than 10 mins!! Couple of tips:

If you put the windscreen in approximately the half way up/down position you can just thread the cable out of the fairing without needing to unscrew anything.

2. If you rotate the cradle on the bar about 90 degrees it’s much easier to take out the 4 screws and catch them in your hand.

Great video! Thank you!

I think the 'Dummy' is a splitter, for a USB socket. Just a wild guess. Also I think you was able to use the "dummy' connector's cover to cover the loos cable connector instead of the tape.

Thank you, this is the first video I've seen that shows how to remove the dust cover. I've had the bike 6 months and didn't know how to remove it.

Great video. I need to remove my cradle and thought it was going to be more complicated. Good to see that it’s pretty easy before I start installing my Chigee Apple car play unit. Thanks

[paulberger]

Thanks for this video. Your approach worked like a charm on my F750GS.

Thank you very much.

I was worried about the double plug, but thanks to your video I'm not afraid anymore.

Appreciate that. Going to replace my BMW Nav 5 with Galaxy tablet.

Just bought my 2023 GSA last week. I’m going to remove the NAV cradle over the weekend. The BMW aftermarket cradle that costs $260 does not fit my iPhone 14 Max. The 3 cameras on the iPhone stick out too far to fully seat within the cradle, so off it comes. Ordered the Wunderlich cross mount with the NAV adapter. I will attach my Zumo to that. My cell is attached to the bar via the Quad Lock mount.

Very cool video .... I'm putting my quad lock in it place as it has map's and other stuff

Thanks for the help, just wish I'd watched before I removed all my side panels off 😂

Thanks for the video!

Do you know what that white connection is called? I want to connect something else to it.

Thanks for the video! It helped a lot! But I have a question and I need your help, please: after removing the "cradle" cable connected to the motorcycle, Did you have any message on your TFT dashboard or not? I mean, an error message or something like that! Did you have any problems after removing it?

I have sold my RT and want to move my Navigator 6 to my new bike, a 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere 1200. If you're not using your Nav cradle and want to offload it, I'd be happy to buy it off of you. :)

Hello. I want to mount this cradle on my c400x. But I have a question. Does the key cylinder only works with the motorcycle key or does it fit any key? Also what does it lock?

[aashmanhome]

I have the 2022 850GS, where this connector is stuck to the frame or frame shroud. I gave it a nudge or two, but it's not releasing the connector and since it is so tight over there. I am unable to see the push to release clip. Any ideas? Other than to remove the front fairing?

sweet - thanks - time to remount my phone holder

[dgomes]

Why remove the cradle. If is great for mounting a nav or phone or CarPlay device.

Without screwing around with wiring

[snypher]

Is that type o plug available so I can connect other GPS on the factory wiring just like that?

[ixsmaelable]

Is there anything else that can be connected in that thing? Who the heck uses a single use gps screen? It’s not 1999
