Here's the link for the part. It shows that it fits 2019's, you're good to go. You just need to find a dealer that can program it properly. If I remember correctly, its aux 3 they need to turn on.

Update - had the 3.5mm audio jack installed when the bike went in for services. While they were opening the fairing, I also did the antenna delete with the fairing antenna. Audio jack does not function. Called the dealer, the service rep said to try activating the iPod prior to turning on the bike. No dice. The input does not show in the selection area for radio/bluetooth.

When they installed the 3.5mm input wire, did they program the head unit? The dealer has to use their Digital Technician to flash the radio to recognize it. If I remember correctly, they have to enable Input #3. At that time, they can also name the input. When flashed correctly, the input shows up in the Media menu.

It took my dealer 3 tries to get it done correctly. 1st time they enabled Aux 2, no worky. Next they enabled Aux 3, but didn't do the "save" procedure. Third time was a charm.

RD......Bare in mind, that the Ipod Classics have a hard drive in them which will not be good if mounted on the bike because of vibrations. it will lock up the ipod!! Someone else with more knowledge on Apple products might be able to chime in on this. But I remember reading about it when i was trying to do the same on my old bike. I ended up using an ipod nano instead.
Good Luck
Jay

You can just put music on a usb flash drive. no need for an "mp3 player"

Yes this works but in some cases the audio from a good iPod will sound better due to the EQ controls they have.

I was planning on leaving the iPod in the little box where the cable is located. I use playlists, so once it starts it keeps playing for hours,

THANKS! Can this be done without removing the fairing? Or is it something easy for them to do? Reason I ask is that I can take it to my local dealer if it is something inexpensive to do. MY dealer that did the install is 4 hours away. SO if it's a cheap fix I will gladly pay the local dealer a few bucks to do it. Otherwise I have to have MY dealer pick up the bike and I won't see the bike for 3 or 4 days.

It's easy to do...pull the left side cover only. A guy that's good with the Digi-Tech is probably 10 minutes tops. Just let him know it's Aux #3 that he wants to turn on. He can also name the input, so when it shows up on the menu it can say Ipod, Garmin (whatever you're plugging into it). My local dealer charged me nothing, but I also bought the input pigtail from them.
