2012 R1200R Nav iV install...Where are the plugs in the wiring harness?

Just to forestall the inevitable: I already went thru the tech library and didn't find an answer to this one...

I'm going to have to install a Nav IV on a friend's new R1200R. The Nav IV comes with a pair of specific, white plugs on the end of the wiring harness, one male and one female. Does anyone know exactly where in the R1200R wiring harness they have buried the matching receptacles for the Nav IV plugs?

Thanks!
 
This is the connector on a 2011 or 2012 R12R. On the 2009 model, it's more buried. In the photo below, the connector (w/red wire) is zip-tied to the throttle-side frame under the fuel tank. Remove the cap, plug it in and your friend is ready to roll.
