R18 B
Hello, I would like to connect my Quad Lock inductive module with a bare wire that allows 15W charging for my phone (only 10W for USB connection model)

Is there a free accessory socket somewhere at the front of the R18B?

Yup. The cigarette lighter type is on the instrument dash at the left hand side. It has a flap to keep it shut. It is number 3 on the diagram.

Thanks.
But I would like a permanent connection somewhere behind the dashboard to keep this socket free
 
Same socket; you can disassemble the dash and route the wiring from the Quad Lock and electrically connect it in as a parallel circuit.

It's only the two wires I assume, a (+) positive 12 V and a (-) Negative ground connection. See call out bubble No.5 within the below image.

Also attached is the TFT Screen Protection instructions documentation.

You can use the installation instructions documentation from the BMW Motorrad site: SERVICE/MANUALS/INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
