Well thanks!! And after looking at that it got me thinking, my headset speakers seem to have lost about half volume, thought it was because I was listening to the exterior speakers so loud. I'm going to have to remove my bo harness and plug the bikes harness directly into the HU again and see if it gets louder. If that's the case I'm going to have to send this one back. Starting to think splicing would have been a better idea.

 

GreatSteaks...you the man! I'm cooking with gas now!
I did a continuity test on frt & rear coming out of the HU
Sure enough the frt was bassackwards, which you know is BS!
I moved all 4 wires on the frt channel to correct it, fliped the stripes with the solids.
It sounds loud clean & clear!
BT needs to get there act together, I gotta wonder how many
Of these they got out there that's F'd up?
Thanks again man & Happy Easter.

 

That doesn't make sense. If you swapped all 4 wires then on set would still be out of polarity. But who cares, it fixed it, lol.

 

Got the bike out on the road, sounds OK..I guess.
I'm not 100% sure its 100% correct? Its way better than it was.
Correct me if I'm wrong...I checked the rears 1st continuity both the center (striped) wires came up negative, the 2 outer wires (solid) showed positive, which I believe should be correct. Then I checked the front, the 2 center wires striped came up positive and the 2 outer solid wires showed negative which is just the opposite of the rear channel.
So I moved the inner wires to the outside to match the rear continuity.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks again Great steaks!

 

Put one set of wires back like it was on the channel your having trouble with. You were suppose to just switch one set. Trust me, Just try it.

 

You're welcome.
I did the splicing because I didn't have a choice at the time. If you know how to solder it's not hard at all, just time consuming. I have pics if you're interested.

 

These issues are starting to bug me, I went through a lot of grief getting my system running smooth. Now I have more doubts that my system is 100% correct. I agree BT seems to be having some serious issues that need to be addressed. Maybe Bill will chime in on this thread.

 

I hope Biketronics gets this figured out. I just ordered my speakers and amp for my 15 limited on Friday. Last thing I want to do is have to change wires around after the install.

 

Well, the head set wiring was fine in my harness, it was my headset, my wife's worked fine.

If you know how to do a continuity test with a multi meter(preferably with an audible alert for no resistance) you should do it on the break out harness, that's where the problems seem to be.

You fold the bo in half so all the pin holes are facing you and all the thicker rectangle pins are on the same side. I attached a double sided alligator clip jumper wire to each meter lead. I clipped a small safety pin to one side for the small holes in the female side and clipped the other lead to the male side of the harness pins. Just remember, the right and left sides will be the same but the top of one side of the harness will be the bottom on the other. This all should have been done and qc'd at the factory. But to give BT a break for me at least, they rushed my order out the same day I ordered and told me it all depended on how fast they could assemble a bo harness as that was the only part they did not have on the shelve ready to ship.

If you find a problem, look at the above diagram and if it's one of the speaker wires that are backwards it's an easy fix at the HU side of speaker plugs.
