Hi, Thanks for the add!
Just upgrading from a Zumö 550 to XT.
Does anyone know of a converter from the 550 power plug, wth the two screws to the XT power plug?
To avoid having to retire the unit for power from the bike ignition.
Thanks.

You need to use the power cable supplied with the XT. it smooths the power steps it down to the right voltage, behaves like a fuse and guards against polarity reversal.

Apart from that the connectors to the mount are not the same style.
