Took me a little while to find these connectors from the post I was able to find on this forum. I hope these pictures help shorten the time for someone else. First round is the Aux connector location. I included a picture of the Eastern Beaver Accessory Adapter with the positive and negative wires labeled. My Accessory Adapter came with white and black wires. The heated grip connector is bare to fit the mating connector. The Aux connector has a cover that must be removed to use. See posts #46 & #47 in this thread.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but are you saying that you installed something using these locations? I've been interested in adding heated grips, so if this will help make the process easier, I'm all ears!
Here is a thread http://www.stromtrooper.com/dl650-2012/71221-2012-heated-grip-install.html I had found about Heated grip install and I looked at it but didn't find nice pretty pics marking the where the connectors are, which would have helped me in locating the connectors. So I was attempting to give back to the community I have been lurking on and gleaning info from.
That aux connector... what is that connector type called? I'm wondering what kind of connector I'd need in order to plug into that aux connector. Thanks in advance for the info.
The typical connector you describe is an SAE connector. You aren't going to find one of those on a Japanese bike. You're more likely to find Japanese connectors on a Harley.
I just sold a Harley a couple of months ago. A lot of the nuts/bolts that I worked with on that bike were metric. Wouldn't have surprised me to find some Japanese style connectors on that bike, too. :mrgreen:
The aux connector doesn't supply enough power for heated grips. You'll blow the ignition fuse. Use the heated grip connector. Don't ground to the frame. It can cause corrosion with a combined steel and aluminum frame. Check the wiring diagram with the grips. The blue and white wires go to the switch. The red wire goes to the heated grip connector negative (black/white on the bike). The hot wire to the switch goes to the heated grip connector positive. (orange/green on the bike).
Just bought & installed the same shelf, but w/o the voltmeter. Where did you plug in the sockets? One to the aux plug & other to the heated grip plug? I've found both thanks to your helpful pix in this thread.
I saw in another post that the heated grip plug is only hot when the ignition is on. How about the aux plug?
I used the aux plug for everything on my shelf. I just put two wires in each crimp terminal to run to the next item until I reached the last item to wire up which I just put one wire in that terminal.
There isn't a separate part. However, there are two sources that will fit. A Suzuki horn lead will plug into the heated grips connector. Part number 36852-06G00
Also An Eastern Beaver VStrom heated grip adapter from VStrom will plug right in to the OEM connector. There is a $20 minimum order there though.
H4 Dual Headlight Relay Kit FUSEHOLDER BATTERY CONNECT<-- I guess due to warranty, this would be the best solution for me, don't really want to hard wire it so it can be removed if needed.

I just bought a set of Hyper-Lites for my 2013. I lifted the seat and started poking around in the taillight wiring. That's when I discovered an unused plug. It's a six wire plug but only four wires go into the plug. Anyone know what this plug is for, and what the four wires are?
If you can get the AUX plug/connections&Seal on it's own, why can't you get the VStrom Heated Grip Adaptor plug on it's own? or am I blind?
Also if he recommends the Posi-Lock Connectors or Soldering solution then why not sell the H4 Relay Kit with the couplers?
The the power leads for the relay kit connect to the battery or a fuse panel, not bike wiring. Posi Locks are not appropriate. The only connection to the bike wiring is the coupler that connects to one of the stock headlight connectors.

I want the plug only and not the attached wiring, why would I need the wires if the wires already come with the heated grips? I just want the compatible end plug which connects to the loom.
The way I read it was that you cut off the stock couplers so you don't have 2 dangling away hence the reason why you would need the posi locks or soldering option.
So you want the plug without the wires? I didn't get that from the plug alone statement. Wire to wire connections are more common. The connector is the 2PO90, the top one at 090 Connectors
You can cut off the stock connectors but most people just use the male coupler in the kit and tape off the unused female connector. That allows using the stock wiring if selling the bike or in case a problem occurs. If you want to cut and connect, you could order Posi Locks.

Yes, well I figured instead of chopping up wires and due to the bike still being under warranty, I might as well use the existing plugs if they're there. And it keeps the cost down.

I just got my Eastern Beaver order and had a question on the Aux adapter. Should I splice an inline fuse into the setup? I was just planning on hooking it straght to the power outlet, but I think I saw a thread that said the OEM outlet has a three amp fuse with it.
It runs off the 10A ignition fuse. You might want to run the device you are adding through a 2A or 3A fuse of its own to keep a short in your added wiring from cutting out the bike's ignition.
