Thanks for the help. Got it all wired up. I was just about done and over torqued the new clutch cable Now have to wait for a couple of weeks for a new cable.
Since I have to wait now, it gave me a chance to go back and clean a few parts that you normally can’t get to. And do a better job securing all the wiring harnesses. I guess I can turn the ACC on to see if I have to have the radio flashed. Might have to do that after work today.

 

Definitely check it. Like I said mine works fine and I did not have to have the radio flashed. If you have the two headsets just plug them in and have the wife (or someone) check it. If you only have one right now you can plug into the rear port and listen to the radio.

Also remember what positions the speaker switch does. I have gotten on the bike several times already, forgotten about the switch and wondered what the hell happened to my radio.

* You are also going to have to adjust the VOX settings (Will be frustrating at first, especially sitting still), and the intercom and CB volumes. These have to be done individually and can only be done when the radio is in each one of those modes.

Good luck.

 

Well, no dice, it’s not a plug and play system. Radio message said “intercom disabled, see dealer” So looks like a trip to the dealer in a few weeks after I fix my clutch cable mistake.
Got a ship date for my clutch cable of 17 July 2011.

 

That sucks. I guess they pulled the wrong radio off the shelf when mine was built. Sorry to hear that.

 

Finally finished! Took the ride to the dealer near Mannheim Germany (Rhein-Neckar GmbH, Harley Davidson). Great friendly dealer rolled the bike in and hooked it up and within 15 min he was done. He even switched the radio to International software so I can receive European radio stations. For some reason they use a different frequency than in the US. Hooked up the 7-pin cables and it WORKED! I cannot believe I hooked everything up correctly. Now to order some IMC motorcom headsets (half the price of HD) for the helmets.

Thanks for the help and information.

 

Congratulations on a successful installation!!!

i just had this kit installed at the local HD dealership, but after i got home i noticed they did not install the PTT switch for the passenger. the rear connection is there. Is this very hard to install?

thanks
Randy

 

Check the part numbers. The kit I used had the switch. You may need to bring it back and ask where the rest of the parts are.

 

Yes take it back and make them do the job right...You paid for them to do it!

 

nice write-up and pics as usual.
