Mystery connector on 2019 R1250GS

[neil_b.]

I'm hoping to get some help with my (new to me) 2019 GS. I've removed all of the bodywork as I install a few accessories, and have noticed an empty electrical connector on the forward LHS of the bike, just below the LH air intake and above the left radiator (see Photo 1). I don't *think* this is a provision for a GPS since the bike is equipped with the GPS prep kit, whose wiring and connector I've located on the RHS. I'm also thinking it's not a provision for auxiliary lights since the bike has those wired in already as well. Photos 2 and 3 show the front and back of the (3 wire) connector - it also had a weather cap that I removed for the photos.

Any help solving this mystery would be much appreciated, thank you!

Can't tell the gauge from the pic, but the wires look like they can handle some current. There is also a BMW silver label further up that might have a part number on it. Maybe for a second rad fan in very hot climates? Take a DMM to them and see if there is power or ground.

Do you have the BMW LED aux lights?

For Globalrider - I have the battery disconnected for other things right now, so no way to run a meter. That said, I'm assuming the brown wire will be ground and one of the red (or red w/stripe - to be honest I can't discern what color the stripe is) will be power. I've added some photos of the silver label, but I've had no luck so far searching the part number (which I assume is the 8 395 601-01). I've also added one more photo of the connector, this time with its weather cap.

For mneblett - The bike came with BMW aux lights that were said to be dealer installed after the original purchase, and a search of their part number confirms that they are LED. That said, the wiring to these aux lights is intact, and they work, so I am assuming that my mystery connector is for something else entirely.
I've added some photos of the lights as well.

Thank you both for your responses.

Plug for the audio system on a RT??

Ooh, that would make a lot of sense. Not that any of this matters in the long run, I suppose. I just don't like unsolved mysteries. Thanx!

So here's another stupid question. Again, I have this new to me 1250GS (2019) apart for the first time, and I've only just noticed that its cooling system includes a radiator fan on the RHS, but not one on the LHS (where my mystery connector resides). I didn't pick up on this when globalrider mentioned a second fan on his reply above so is my configuration of 1 fan standard, and is a second fan a option offered by the dealer? The LH radiator casing certainly has the plastic "hard points" for mounting a fan on that side.

When I look at the 1250GS/GSA parts fiche it shows two radiators and one fan.
I don't know if a 2nd fan is used in other markets.
