Getting Ready to install my new sony radio in my 2001 Electra Glide.. Does anyone know what wire on the Factory Wiring Harness that is 12v always on wire?

thanks

 

noone know what wire on the Factory wireing harness the provides a constand 12v>?

 

Aren't you using the biketronics kit? I thought they were strictly plug and play?? Plug it in to your stock wiring harness and you're done.

 

yes I got the BikeTronic kit.. but I just got the mounting kit without the module for thumb controls. so I need to fine a wire that is 12v always on

 

I can't tell you by memory which wire it turned out to be, but I can tell you how I found it. I kept testing the wires in the radio plug with the ignition off, with a fluke multimeter, until I found one with voltage. But If I were you, I'd order the handcontrol kit and wire it properly. The use of the hand controls is a VERY nice feature, that I wouldn't be without now.

If you don't want to spend that much money and feel comfortable splicing into the factory wiring, you can buy a Pac Swi-X ( Pacific Accessory Corp- Steering Wheel Interface ) to interface between the deck and hand controls using infra red transponder. That is what I did and it is much cheaper at about $50.00. It works with almost any deck made that has IR remote capability.

good luck....

 

I am going to get the module funds just low atm all the stuff I am buying.. but I need to find that 12V cont wire
