Default Rear Speaker Wire Breakout

I'm installing an aftermarket stereo on a 2010 Ultra Limited. I've learned that the rear speaker wires are not on the main audio harness, they are part of the harness that connects to the CB radio. I'm trying to find a clean way - without cutting into the factory wiring - to connect the rear speaker wires to the new stereo's wire harness. I've found the Hogtunes breakout connector, but that is the wrong side of the harness - it would plug into the factory head unit. What I'm searching for is the 'male' side of this harness, that would plug into the factory wire harness.

Does such a product exist, or are there any other alternatives that don't involve cutting into the factory wiring? I'm not interested in running new wires back to the tour pack.

Are you installing new HU, amp, and speakers? Or just a new HU?

You can buy the plug and pins at the dealer I am sure. But they'll likely have to order it. I'd not worry about cutting factory wiring, odds are you won't go back to stock though.

Run new high quality speaker. That 18 awg Harley wire is garbage. Details matter.

New HU for now... will be doing the speakers and adding an amp in the future.

I have a SCOSCHE wire harness for making the new HU work with hand controls if you're interested. PM me. I went back to stock HU from my Sony,,, I only had the XAV100.

I used https://garagebaggerstereo.com/produ...aker-t-harness
This one is for 14 and up but they probably carry the one for yours.

I got an iDataLink Maestro SWHD1 with the head unit for the hand controls. I've been very impressed with this unit so far - very easy to program, and adds the option to set other actions to a long press on any of the buttons.
