Recently picked up the Ducati Desmo 450 MX and I ordered the power on wiring kit so I can access the tuning app with the bike not running. It didn't include instructions and I haven't been able to find any online. Can someone help me with where I connect it?

FYI, thius my first bike with an ECU, so it's got a lot more wiring than I'm used to. I haven't been able to find by looking at the bike where it plugs into.

Thanks!

Google Ai came up with this. I couldn't find any info directly but worth looking to see if it is actually correct...

Step 3: Install the Power-On Wiring Harness
  1. Locate the white factory connector plug hidden behind the front number plate. If the bike is brand new, it will be protected by a black rubber cap—slide this cap off.
  2. Plug the Power-on wiring accessory (96681931AA) directly into this white connector. [1]
  3. Connect the other end of the Power-on harness to your Wi-Fi module's main wire terminal. This bypasses the typical 150-second engine-shutoff timer so the module receives constant power from the battery. [1, 2]
  4. Neatly secure the wiring using zip ties, ensuring it doesn't pinch when the handlebars turn lock-to-lock.

Thank you!  I tried searching for it, but didn’t see anything. Much appreciated!
