Installing carplay and type C chargers in Z900 2027

Installing carplay and type C chargers in Z900 2027

Last bike I had came with a USB port and I thought it was so basic that I never questioned if the Z900 had one, because of course it would have one....

Surprise surprise, it doesn't....

Had to read the manual and cut a few cables, but I managed to install two ports for USB type C (keep insta360 and Ace Pro 2 charged for long rides) and a carplay for maps, music and notifications.

The whole set up was around ~48 USD (880 MXN). Could've gone to a workshop, but they quoted me at almost 300 USD, so I took to Amazon and started cutting cables.

ACC could be easier to access, I had to unscrew the front screen and pray I was cutting the right cables. Would've loved it if it had an ACC connection next to the battery, but nothing a little tinkering can't fix.

Joining the club with some light mods

Bought a brand new Z900 2027.

I had been on a wait list for like 4 months, and bought a luggage rack in anticipation, which I installed on day one.

I know some people don't like the look of luggage on naked bikes, but I dont mind it and it's very comfortable for me where I live, as I need to take my laptop, gym clothes and whatever else daily.

Last bike I had was a Z500 2025, and while I still love that bike, I felt a bit limited by the engine, so the Z900 is perfect, being the basically the same bike with more power and more technology (love the riding modes)

I didn't check and turns out my Z900 doesn't come with a USB charger, so I had to buy an aftermarket one and do some electric tinkering, but now with that, the insta360 mount and all the luggage, I can say this is the bike that I wanted.
