BMW R1250GS removal of OEM Sat Nav cradle/power supply ,install of Garmin Zumo XT mount/power supply

This is a step by step guide on how I removed the OEM GPS Sat Nav cradle and power cable on my BMW R1250GS and replaced it with a Garmin Zumo XT mount and power supply.

It should take between 1 hour / 1 hour 30 minutes.

I didn't want to have my phone on display on the bike, don't find it as good in sunlight as the Zumo, plus don't want it stolen whilst at traffic lights either !!!!! Yes I can simply put it in my pocket when I get off the bike, how amazing is that 🤔Each to their own though with locking things etc.
