"Lock" a Bosch Nyon 2 head unit to the bike

[Aushiker]

I am curious as to whether anyone has come up with a way to secure a Bosch Nyon 2 head unit to the bike (Supercharger 2 in my case).

I am looking for ideas to 'lock' the unit to the bike for ducking into shops, overnight camping etc.

Something other than the screws that attach it to the mount?

There is no secure mounting of the unit itself. It slips into the mount attached to the bike. The mount is 'permanently' attached to the bike rather than the head unit, hence the question. I hope that makes sense.

There is no mounting screw like the original Kiox?

I am not familar with the Kiox but there is no mounting screw ...

@Aushiker is your R&M one with a custom mount in the handlebar, instead of the stock Bosch mount? If so, I have no idea...

If it's the standard mount, there is a m3 security screw you can put into the mount that prevents the release mechanism from moving, effectively making the mount and Nyon a single unit.

Standard mount, but thanks for your help. You seem to on to the very solution I was looking for.. It looks like the same approach is used as with the Nyon 2. I should have read the manual

the problem is I find you can have issues if you never remove it. I had it screwed on for awhile and I came out on the coldest day found it dead. the battery connections can stop working if it does not get removed once in awhile.

Why not pop it off and put it in our pocket for security. We used to do that with our trip computers in the olden day.

I should hope so, it's the same Nyon that you have . I think my photo was from the retrofit installation guide rather than the owners manual.

What BlackHand showed was what I was referring to.

Okay. What threw me was your reference to a mounting screw, this is not a mounting screw. The head-unit mounts without the screw.

Andrew: Do you lock your Wahoo ACE to the e-bike or drop it into your pocket when shopping or camping?
