3a is max you can get from AUX as far as I know. If you want more, you need to either tap into headlight, or go to battery directly (not recommended).

Thanks Zoo, this was my guess/reading too, seeing QC 3.0 is 3.1A it should be ok to do. The wires on BMW cable is small so if I need more I will look at the other way.

BMW cable with SAE plug > new SAE Lightningfast QC3.0 mounted somewhere when it arrives is the plan for now.

I suppose a 12V USB adaptor can be plugged directly to this connector or I need to wire a relay and wire the USB adaptor to the battery. Thanks

BMW calls that third wire a pulse or trace wire and it's for timing. If you connect a BMW navigator up, you can utilize all three. The other BMW bikes use it for maintaining clocking while in a tunnel, let's say, when connected to their accessory port and the S1000rr uses it for the lap timer as stated. I experienced no negative CAN bus effects while having them all hooked up on a BMW navigator.

IF using a radar detector or non BMW branded Garmin, only use positive and ground. I like OEM looking mods so I had mine professionally soldered, wrapped and heat shrunk, plus it allowed easy removal of the unit while the cradle and wiring stayed attached to the bike...

If you dig, you'll see pics in my for sale post for the navigator....

Is there any chance anybody could call out the wire color code for these wires. I find it obnoxious that no one mentions the color of the wires and what they do. How do you all ******* sleep at night?

Well jackass, I sleep quite well actually.

And I find it obnoxious that you didn’t think to just plug it in and observe the counterparts on the mated connector considering it’s an industry standard color scheme and the wires are all the same color on the OEM pigtail.
