Additional variables are 2.0 &3.0 as far as data , some Charging also vary in amperage 1.1~2.1A Believe all stay at 5VDC. Just something else to check for. Splitter may have different values per port

Put a data blocker on it so it doesn’t try to take over your plone

I would be using only 1 device at a time.

So for the 2 items I saw on Amazon which one should I go with?

[VegasDan]

The USB port is a Type A - not type C.
Type C is for newer devices with a plug that is a small rectangle with rounded corners.
Type A is the large square plug with square corners - thay has a definite one way insertion (has an upside and downside).
The type C is universal and will insert either side up.

So what should I get now that two I showed are incorrect

On another note, USB connectors explained. What I need is type A male to type A female. From those female I can plug I type A male with a choice of various ends of cables I already have. I use no C type at all.

Ok here we go,
I removed the cable and billett connector, it looks like it is a La Monster set up and I have been in contact since Monday and am waiting for a replym they had to send my question to the shop I guess.

This is the setup I believe:
https://www.lamonstergarage.com/lamo...er-motorcycle/

Since my bike has the HeliBars the cable was apparently too short and what it looks like it actually overheated at some time and the PO had glued the cable into the connector and its not coming out. So I would need a new billet connector and longer cable.

My thoughts since I have zero use for BRP gone and I can still use my cell for a backup music source I can just leave that in the trunk on charge cable.

I installed GO, made the BT connection then uninstalled GO but I still have use of that BT connection. So the cell can go in the trunk or even fits up front glove box as it fits NP.

Returned the OEM power /mp3 cables to the glove box. From there I have my MP3 connected through the 3.5mm Mp3 plug and can plug that in to charge or just leave the thing plugged in.

Now to use my Garmin Zumo I unplug the 3.5mm plug and power cable and plug that into my real bluetooth receiver (shame on GO)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TSN82BR...roduct_details

Pop the Garmin on the mount and Im ready to ride. Just a note the BT receiver can be left on the power cable or if you leave it off its go for up to 10 hours on a charge. I did a test yesterday and it was still going after 7 hours.

At some point I may replace the cable but again I never have use for the cell sitting there and it looks like that connection is not waterproof.

Last question is, is the La Monster setup waterproof? Perhaps the setup got wet and and caused a short which caused the overheated connection?

I still may opt for a extra power cable in the glove box but its pretty simple just to disconnect and reconnected the devices I want to use.

Thanks all for the suggestions, I was not aware of the new USB connector sizes and you saved my a few dollars from buying the wrong cable.

My brain hurts after all this

[Escorial]

I ordered this so I can keep the Mp3 player and BT receiver charged. This should all fit in the glove box. The cell will be in the trunk on the charger.

Enough of this ;-)

My apologies, It is indeed USB A on the bike.

The one you ordered will plug into the bike. I'm not sure about your other devices though.

[Escorial]

My devices are all A usb with mini usb on the other end. This stuff all of sudden got so confusing! I made sure that the splitter did have the female ends so i could plug any A usb cable in with different ends, mini , micro , standard blah blah blah

I blame it all on the discontinuation of Windows 7 ( joke)

Thanks again all!

I thought you didn't use your phone on the bike? Why do you need a Bluetooth receiver?

[Escorial]

If you looked at my post, it's for my Garmin Zumo XT that is only BT, and as we know, BRP's NO GO is very very very BT impaired!

I still can't believe in this day and age they put stuff like that on the market.

I did remove that cable for charging my cell on the bars as well as the cell mount.

As mentioned I installed GO on my cell, made the BT pairing, then uninstalled GO but kept the BT connection.

So I can use the cell as a backup music source from my trunk.

Had the GO been a functional BT setup, a lot of this mess would not even be necessary.
