I found the Heated Grip connectors under the RH fairing below the fuel tank; I found the Heated Seat Connector attached to the Battey cover. I found another connector behind the battery in the Battery well.

What is this colorful connector? I know it cannot be the GPS connector still looking for it, but is this one the connection to the ECU? Maybe?

Ah! I reviewed the circuit diagrams; read the manuals and online docs; and reviewed several blogs ref: the GPS connector. Some said that the tank did not have to be removed; some said that they could fish the connector from between the forks and tanks; some said that the connector was tie wrapped behind a support. Well, I looked for several hours last nite and this morning I tried to find the location based upon one persons pictures. So, I decided remove the tank about 5" back and then looked underneath and there it was..the little green connector tie wrapped in a bundle but not tie wrapped to the frame. So had to snip the tie wrap and pull the GPS connector for easy access. The connector must have been randomly placed during install. I have no clue what I am going to do with all of these power connections but now I have options for heated grips or heated seat or heated jacket or some other gadget or whatever. I don't use a GPS or iphone, but I need a power outlet or two for options.👍

I do have to make an appointment to get the new/latest OEM software upgrade. I checked with the local MG dealer (120 miles away) and did a VIN check and the bike needs a software update as it has never had an update. So onward and upward! 🛸
 
Be aware that GPS connector has limited current available. Not enough for any heating accessory. Check your schematic and I bet you find connectors for heated grips.
 
As John stated above, not every wire or connector is capable of providing the AMPERAGE necessary to power those types of devices.

Things are not interchangeable like that.

Oh yeah...got it. I did find the heated grip and heated seat connectors as well. All three connectors - GPS included use the single 15A for all. The one item that I would like to connect is a small mobile CB radio. I have not looked into its power requirements, but possibly have it and use as needed on that circuit. Just use that on the circuit. We'll see.
