Mystery electrical connector - 2004 R1150R

[Motociclista]

Greetings ...
I recently bought a 2004 R1150R.
There is an electrical connector part# 968405 purpose/function that I have not identified.
I was told by BMW service that it is "probably" a connector for a GPS unit. Perhaps this is for an older Motorrad unit?
I searched for a while, but still, I am stuck.
Any idea?
PS: I am looking to put a GPS on the bike ...
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
(mods, please move the post if not in the right forum ... thanks.)

Where is it located on the bike?

Where is it located on the bike?

The plug is located right under the headlight, about a foot-long wire. The hint about being "possibly" a GPS power connector is the handlebar mount for GPS.

Maybe JVB ,Jim Moore , or GSAddict will chime in. Those guys Know these boxers!!

I have a '02 r1150r and haven't seen that connection

The GPS connectors I've seen are 3-pin not 2-pin (at least going back to the BMW Navigator II). The 3rd wire isn't used if you have a non-BMW GPS, you just need power and ground. It usually has a cover on the connector and might be wrapped in tape. Here is the male side of the GPS connector - available from your dealer or various online vendors.

AH!!!!
Thank you so much for the clarification! Going by elimination now, the plug I have could be for additional lights.

Looks like a sensor connector. Probably for a temp sensor that your bike doesn't have.

No idea on the connector, sorry. But that’s a near-perfect copy of my own wedding ring, go figure.

Those are actually two rings ... one is my wedding ring, and the other is my father's with his wedding date inscribed inside.
