Honda 350 Forza 2022 Power Accessory Socket for Garmin Zumo

[FrankB]

I traded my 300 for a 2022 350 assuming it would be straightforward to transfer the Kappa screen, the accessory bar attachment and the Givi rear rack. I was wrong! The Kappa screen and accessory bar will not fit and, for the Givi rear rack, I had to source some Honda grab handles from a later 350 (Honda, in their wisdom, omitted the fixing holes in the grab handles on my model year!)

But this post is about how to power my Zumo Garmin. The 12v power socket in the front compartment is now a USB-C socket and I cannot find how to connect the Garmin. I have soldered a USB-C cable to the Garmin cable but get only 2 volts which will not start it up. The USB-C socket is working and charges a mobile phone. It seems all this USB stuff is not simple wiring and replies on microchips or whatever. So far I cannot find a cable with USB_C to Garmin plug to fit in the cradle holding the Garmin. See photo.

I know I can simply connect the Garmin adaptor to the battery but the USB socket is at the front and easy to route the cable. Wiring it from the battery means routing it through the bodywork.

Has anyone solved this problem?
