Canbus USB Charger build for my BMW F800GSA

[@racesportfan]

Hé hé.. eindelijk de can bus gevonden dankzij deze video 👍🏻

[@myveryownchannel]

Lol, I'm like you, use a lot of heat shrink, it just looks pro 👌

[@iTor]

Thank you very much for this video! I think you have inspired me for mounting a USB charger for my phone on my F800S :)

[@tobias2044]

Thank you very much!!

[@fcbmaciej]

Works good! Thanks !!!

[@HussainHH989]

Good job my friend, Thanks

[@hythesailor]

Thanks for the very helpful video. I hope to do a similar installation on my F800GT as it does not have any power sockets apart from the useless one by your ankle!

[@limanuno9]

perfect, thanks for your help! Good video.

[@nikolaosberatlis3942]

Great video. You mentioned that wire number 2 is obsolete but I read on a forum that it is also positive and it switches off when the ignition switches off without any delay. Do you know if this is true?

[@TheCuRe-Mauritsje]

Hey, the second wire is for the control of the wonderwheel (its a dataconnection). Never tested if it works as a direct switch off wire but my guess is that it wont function like that. I would just let the canbus system let it turn off by itself

[@emiloles9873]

Super your English is also superb Dankawell

[@martinlynch2676]

Thsi is great but I have the optional Motorrad Garmin Satnav fitted to my R1200R and this socket is used. I am looking for just a CanBus friendly option to run a USB charger off of to power my phone.

[@Zilimanjero]

I have an 2014 F800GS.. Did the same operation and strangely if I have my Leds turned on at the tim of shutting down the engine, they don't go off after 60 secs. They stay on forever (did not test forever but long enough to risk draining the battery). If Leds are not on at the time of shutting down the bike, Canbus works fine, cuts off the power from both mini cigarette lighter and from Leds after 60 sec as intended. Even stranger; Leds on, bike shut down, Leds still on (after 60 sec), I turn off the Leds by a switch manually, ohhh Canbus remembers its function and cuts down the power after 30 sec or so.. With this setup, Canbus has no use in my case because I have to turn off the Leds with a switch anyways. I am planning to use a relay instead- which I resisted at first.

[@jaymzkerren]

Thanks great idea. I do have a question and please forgive my ignorance. What stops you from tapping into the power from the “cigarette” connection ? I use a aftermarket charger in this connection to charge my phone but it really gets in the way of my tank bag. Is this why you don’t use it ?

[@MauritsRademakers]

yes you could do it by splitting the cigarette connection, but because I dont like splitting the wire if not needed and the connector is nearly near the cigarette wires I went for the plug since I had to remove the cover anyway, I also dont know what would happen if you charge the battery through the cigarette plug (canbus charger) like I do when there is something else splitted into the wire. but yes, splitting/ tapping into the cig connection will work ;)

[@Demonwicked]

Thanks this helps!

[@rgabriel73]

Maurits, great video thanks for sharing. Quick question, the charger unit you are using has a built in converter from 12v to 5v correct? If so, is this necessary? I ask in case I want to connect a USB mini or Lighting cable directly to the canbus adapter instead of the USB charger socket you installed. Thanks

[@marcelobybike]

Hi, how can you say that numbet 01 is negative, 03 positive?

[@dermotjones]

can anyone assist me in putting one of this on my 2020 S1000 RR? Seems no one makes accessories for the S1000 RR

[@fcbmaciej]

Hi, I connected navi 7 moths ago and works perfect but now I'm going to connect one more device (USB Charger 2,3 Amp). Is it one more plug to do the same solution or can I solder another one to the same cable adapter ?

[@MauritsRademakers]

there is only one "spare" plug available im afraid, you can try and add it to the same wire, but, the canbus system will shut down the plug if you draw to much current. just a simple test at home should do the trick, connect the charger to the same adapter, start the bike and connect the NAV and connect something to the charger, if it shows charging your fine, if it doesnt just undo the usbcharger and turn the bike off and on again, that will reset the Canbusplug. to be honoust you should be fine, the Canbus plug is rated up till 10 Amps and ill doubt if the navi and charger will draw more then 5 Amps total

[@michaeltoohey6858]

Very helpful. Thank you. Does the USB port need to have an inline fuse or does the can bus system cover any electrical usb future problems

[@MauritsRademakers]

hi there, there is no need for a fuse if/when you connect through Canbus, the canbussystem will shutdown the power to the usb if there is any issue

[@FAC-zx1hu]

Im going to use a oem plug and I would like to now how can I identify the positive and negative cables on the bike plug. Do you know about the collors of each one? Thank you my friend!

[@MauritsRademakers]

do you mean that you want to split straight into the CANBUSplug already on the bike? a simple voltagemeter would tell you what is positive when you turn the bike on, do keep in mind that the canbusplug on the bike only is suited for navigation or usbcharging, it has a max output, so dont be putting to much accesoires on that connection, if you need more power connect it directly to the batterij with a fuse in betweeen

[@FAC-zx1hu]

@@MauritsRademakers great! Its Just for a USB charger! Thanks!!!

[@philiproyffe8022]

hi, have you had any issues with this system, I've just brought this model and would like to do as you have done, I've heard that extras into the electrical system can cause problems

[@MauritsRademakers]

if you connect something directly on that canbusplug there is no issue, its ment to be used this way. if you splice any other cable on the bike then you can get issues with the system. goodluck 👍

Great video,I’ve bought the bmw lead to do the same job What voltage is your usb please as I’ve found I need 5volts to power my tomtom Would this be ok

that charger was a 5 volt one, worked without issue

Dank Maurits

[@alexanderramirez1105]

Nicely done. I ‘be searched the price of the canbus wire and it’s quite expensive...isn’t it?

[@iTor]

I believe you are referring to an official BMW showp. How much does it cost? I have tried searching for it elsewhere but no luck.

[@iTor]

OMG I found it on Ebay for 15 euro, plus 7 shipping!! Expensive.

[@8meadrise]

At a BMW dealer it's about £10 . And at motor works.co.uk about £12 +£4 for shipping. Expensive when you see what it looks like but does a great job. Brilliant tutoring ,btw.👍👍

[@m.henawy]

Sorry but i dont understand why you did all that ? you simply use a relay and take the signal from the cigarette charger

[@MauritsRademakers]

Amateur solution or Professional solution! I could of also just connected it straight onto the battery. its better to split the currents drawn from the bike then using it all over 1 connection. Theres more than one way to Rome!

[@m.henawy]

@@MauritsRademakers if you say so. I just thought there is any technical gain.. Connecting directly is armature way i agree but once you have a relay.. This is where you use engineering concepts.. Professional is how you do the wiring and connectors

[@joaomoreira4668]

Can you please tell me, what is the "part number" of the "CAN-bus part"? Thank you.

kun je op deze manier ook je gps aansluiten ??

[@MauritsRademakers]

Pascal de Koning jazeker, de canbus aansluiting is zelfs speciaal daarvoor bedoeld zodat de dealer gemakkelijk achteraf er 1 kan inbouwen, de BMW garmin cradles bevatten deze stekker standaard eraan
