Hi; Has anyone installed the optional 2S002027 USB port into the dash opening on the mandello. How is it installed and where does it plug in to? Thanks

On my V85 TT I had USB on the dsahboard and I had to install additional USB under the seat, there is just plug and play socket.

With V100 it is exact opposite, there is an USB socket under the seat and plug and play socket on the dashboard. Installation is 5 min work. You can even use the USB socket from under the seat. Why they switched the positions I don't know, but solution is fast, simple and unexpensive...

Installing the factory dash USB is super easy! You buy the part and it is fully plug and play. You unscrew a bolt that holds the little panel on the left side of the dash on, remove the rubber insert and replace with the USB and there is a plug further down that you plug into and that's it! I think it took me 10 minutes because I actually read the directions. LOL!

Thank you for the reply. Where does it actually plug into?
 
You will see a connector in the lower part of the front cowl that has a cap on it. It is detailed in the instructions and was very easy to find. It is ready to go as soon as you plug in the other end of the USB into it and they go together with one of those weatherproof connectors. Everything needed is included in the kit and super easy to do.
 
Thank you to everyone for the information on this. Being a cheapskate, I decided to follow Jan's suggestion of relocating the USB connector from under the seat, rather than buy an additional unit.

That was complicated by the fact that I had to remove my Hepco & Becker luggage rack and panier frames, to then remove the tray under the passenger seat in order to disconnect the USB unit. Fitting to the front was easy; just removing the two bolts that retain the left hand panel, in order to access the electrical connector behind.
 
so......there is a usb plug under the passengers seat which is totally useless since no modern phone can fit in there...is there a second under the main seat? I'll have to check. My dealer was supposed to install the USB in the front panel but forgot. They're sending me the USB plug and I'll do it myself. Thanks for the posts here. Btw; god I love this bike!!! it's glorious to ride. I have had mainly baggers the last 20 years (with the exception of one cafe racer a few years back). Just got my Mandello V100 Bianca and am having a hard time keeping under the 4500RPM for the break-in period. It's a joy. Peace
 
No, nothing under the pilot seat. There isn’t any spare space either.

The dash mounted one is good, I have it, but you need a perch to hold onto the phone for you.

Carrying space on the V100 is virtually non-existent.
 
I would think that the intention of the USB plug under the rear seat is to run a charge cable from the plug ,under the edge of the seat to a tail bag or top case. But if you carry your GTM rear wheel socket there as I do, you are pretty much unable to use that USB plug as the 65mm socket sits against the USB plug,
I will be relocating my USB plug to the front location.

That is exactly what I do and it works great! It is my understanding that when you install the optional front USB socket the two USB plugs are on the same circuit with one fuse. I have installed the front one but usually only plug my phone into the rear one and place my phone in the tail bag.
 
I'd like to relocate mine from front to rear - while the front access looks straightforward, how do you remove the rear one? Thanks.
 
Removal of the rear USB is straight forward, remove the plastic that holds the rear USB in place, the connector just unclips, push/wiggle the USB out, swap the blanking plug from the front to the rear. The connector for the front USB is labelled USB, so you cant really go wrong. (famous last words)
