can anyone point me to a supplier for a replacement plug to go into the OEM connector under the nearside panel please? Or maybe even the type of connector. Thanks very much.

You can get the connectors from CPC. Make sure you order the right 'end'. 02R-JWPF-VSLE-S - JST (JAPAN SOLDERLESS TERMINALS) - 2 WAY HOUS FOR JWPF | CPC
Guys, does this go straight through from the connector to the sat nav wiring as someone told me that there are voltage differences between the sat nav and the output of this oem port?
That connector supplies 12V. Most sat navs designed for motorcycle use are fine with that; if you're wanting to power something that's got a USB connector, you'll need an adapter for that, which shouldn't be left permanently connected. What sat nav are you wanting to connect?
If you're using it with the standard bike mount, connecting it to the port under the panel should be fine. (But check your manual, obviously...) There should be a plug already in the connector, with wires in it that are covered in heatshrink, so you can connect your mount to that if you don't want to buy a new connector. Or, if you're not sure what you're doing, there's probably somewhere on the forum who lives nearby that could give you a hand. It's not a complicated task; it takes longer to get the panel on and off than it does to do the wiring, especially if you're got the Ducati engine bars on.
Did I read somewhere that TomTom Rider units use 5v or have I imagined that? I don't know, I've only ever used Garmin.
I see there is a new TT Rider about to be released. Looks nice, though cant see any specifications as yet. http://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/rider/index.jsp Both Garmin and TT units will operate and charge at 5V via USB. The cradles however supply more, and in the case of Garmin it has 8-28 Vdc supply range. I believe the TT cradle will operate on both 12 and 24Vdc systems, so expect it's much the same as the Garmin.
The Active Mount for the Rider uses +12v ie when the pins on the back of the unit are used for the power supply. If using the mini USB on the bottom of the unit then that is +5v.
Just to chip in with the 12v/5v situation. I have the mini USB already on the bike from the previous owner. I have ordered a converter from eBay (below) but i'm now thinking i'll be providing 12v to my iPhone rather than 5v. Question is, will my iPhone step it down as some suggest or will it die? It's a new 6 Plus so i'd rather not kill it but i'm willing to try it out for the sake of it. USB TYPE A FEMALE TO MINI B 5 PIN FEMALE CHARGER CONVERTER ADAPTER UK | eBay
Your iPhone will need 5V on the USB. Why risk it? I've never seen a USB cable yet that supplies 12V. I fitted an adaptor similar to this DC/DC Converter Module 12V To 5V 3A With USB Output Power Adapter 15W Regulator | eBay to charge my phone. I have another with a flying lead connected to the sat nav output under the tank to power my sat nav which also requires 5V.
