Thank God things have come a long way in the 5 years since this video. Now there are a ton of plug and play radios for Harley that keep the handlebar controls.
Installing a Kenwood head unit on my '13 Street Glide. Had the wiring harness all soldered up and realized no place to plug in 3.5 mm jack. Called these guys about 5:30 Friday afternoon thinking it would be Monday before I heard anything. 15 minutes later I get a call back and Chris walked me thru exactly what I needed to do. TOP NOTCH customer service!
Robert Luebke Having the same problem. My headunit doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack either. What did you splice the female jack to?
So what do you do with it? We're do i plug it into or slice into? Ty
Thank you for showing us a very detailed, hands on explanation of every wire and how to make all the connections.
Loved this Video. appreciate the fact that you actually demonstrate everything that needs to be done.
I just watch this and thoroughly impressed. This is giving me all the confidence to do install of an aftermarket head unit myself on my 08 UC.
Great video, very helpful and I replace my stereo myself. The install was completed by watching your video. Thanks.
Very nice clean job! No short cutting here. I will be buying from you for sure!
Awesome, thank you!
I purchased my Sony MEX-M72BT from Fat Head Cycles this week for my Electra Glide. Awesome product and great customer service. The kit and process is completely plug and play! I was totally impressed!

Very good video for us electronically challenged baby boomers! Lol. Seriously, this is straight forward and a very good and detailed video, the best I found on this subject. When you order these items online, it is sent with a lot of items which you don't need ( he throws them on the floor, lol) which makes it confusing. A couple of minor changes I would make as follows: I would use weather proof spade connectors ( they have built in heat shrink), I would state that you could carefully use a heat gun on heat shrink tubing ( I would not suggest a bic lighter, lol), and I would use split wire loom to wrap my wires in ( instead of wrapping tape around them) just in case there was a problem when you hook it up or for future access to wires if there was a problem. I would all seal the ends of unused wires or spade connectors to prevent corrosion. All in all, this was a 4 star video Chris! Thank you...
Bro.....you seriously saved me. That video cleared up every question I was struggling with
I just replaced mine watching this video. Thank you
I just followed your instruction and installed a Sony DSX-A415BT. Excellent! Only thing is my handle bar controls are not working. The instruction said I needed too program the ASWC-1.
Follow up: called axxess customer service. Took less than a minute to get HB controls working properly.
highly recommend just getting a jensen harley radio. 100% plug/play no splicing wires or a wire kit needed. not even a mounting kit needed.
Tim Henry what kind of Jensen radio are you talking about? Is it water proof or no? Thanks in advance.
Tim Henry what kind of Jensen radio are you talking about? Is it water proof or no? Thanks in advance.
the best tutorial ever!!!!
Great video. I have an '04 CVO and you mention that this doesn't work for those. Is there any way to make it work? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Just got done watching and ordered the same setup. Do you have a installation video?
Thank you for this video, your expertise is appreciated.
Solder is king
Thanks. Good video. I have a 1988 FLHTC I will figure something out. There just isn't any Internet info for me. Not a lot of vendor support anymore either.
Great video. Answered questions with the aswc1
Vielen dank fur das Video aber wird das radio nicht beleuchtet oder wieso wird das orangene kabel nicht verwendet
I have an older cvo how do you hook up the tour pack speakers and amplifier?
Good instructions but still stumped on where to tie in the rear speaker for a 01' ultra..
I see the rear speaker wires but if i tie them in won't they be bypass the control unit...?
Watched your flick was very help full until the end, when you said it wouldn’t work on a CVO street glide, or did I miss something, is there a unit that you sell that will work on a 2011 CVO street glide.
Cheers groove.
I have an 08 flhtcuse3 110 I just bought the Sony m72bt head. Will this work on my bike and what do I need to install it?
Great job thanks for the info!
Thank you for the info & taking the time.
If I have the blue/yellow wire it says to hook it to the female brown wire and tape off the brown/ white wire. Then put the male jack included in the metra harness into the female. Just include that in the taped up harness. So I will not plug anything into the back of the head unit except the pin connection? The only whole I have on the back is antenna and MIC
HELP!!! I followed your vid exactly...only problem is what do I do with the four wires for rear speakers?? which wires in the large harness do I intercept? Thank you so much for your video!!!
Rear speakers on a 2005 ultra classic...harness for CB u want
Rt rear - white with black
Rt rear + Brown
Lt rear - lt green with black
Lt rear + drk green
Ok so how do we wire into our rear speakers on an 07 Ultra Classic? Never showed that
I'm wondering that same thing
Nice clean solid work. My kinda peeps. Ty Sir.👊🏻😎🇺🇸
What can I do if there's no place for the 3.5 mm Jack in the back of the radio that I am trying to install?
The radio is a PYLE PLMRB29B.
Do you need the control retention device if you don't have the controls on the handlebars? My 07 Electra glide was a PD bike and doesn't have radio controls
You do not have to have the controls on the handlebars. I have a wiring harness that will allow you to still have a plug and play setup without the controls. Drop me an email at sales@fatheadcycles.com to discuss further. Thanks for watching
Awesome job
What did you do with the second plug harness that you pulled from the stock radio
Will i still have the use of my intercom (not CB) with my pillion?
We have an ultra 2010 with harmon kardon amplifier, how do we connect aftermarket stereo head unit with the amplifier
I have a 2007 ultra classic I installed a after market stereo like 2 years ago with everything needed.The controls on the handle bars were working good but now the controls on the handle bars not working properly any suggestions thank you
Got this radio but it had a bigger separate power & ground wire so i connected straight to the battery and made direct connection for the ground and it turns on but my bike wont start now
I have followed the video. now I want to install it in the bike well when I took the fairing off I have the two wiring harnesses to remove from the radio. I understand that one is going to be connected to the harness I made watch the video. but what is the other harness and what do I do with it?
I’m wondering if it is possible to use a auxiliary splitter to also be able to install the microphone and will it work with this exact setup?
I can’t find that radio did they stop making it? Do you have any other recommendations?
How do i find the rear speaker wires on an 09 flhtcu. What colors are they?
Great video!
do my new radio volume will go up and down with speed of motorcycle as it use to do my factory radio?
Speed volume is not retained by any aftermarket head unit.
Thank you @@FatHeadCycles
Quick question.... what would you recommend for a head unit that is comparable to the Sony MEX-M70BT?? Hopefully you see this post.
My bike is an 08’ Road Glide.
How did you get the Speedo and tack blue?
Nice work. Thank you!
Which Handlebar Control Retention would you recommend using on the 2004 Electra glide ultra
Great video... where does the blue and yellow steering wheel control wire get attached to?
If you bought the ascw1 kit then the blue/yellow wire hooks up to the female headphone Jack that came in the kit. The bl/y wire hooks to the brown wire on the female adapter. Tape up the brown/white because you won't need it. Then simply connect the female end to the male end that came with the wiring harness adapter.
I have the same setup. I installed it and now the aswc-1 does not recognize the down buttons on the handlebar. I check on Harley forum. They state to ground the pink/white wire on the clutch side to the lighter. I have a 2003 Ultra Classic. Any ideas?
This is a tough question to answer without more information. Does your ASWC-1 harness have a pink/white wire? The reason that I ask is that Metra changed their harnesses do make that wire unnecessary. Either way Ive got you!
I have the ASWC-1 without a pink/white wire. I’ve tried grounding the system directly to the negative side of the amp with no difference in situation. Any help would be nice.
Could you build this kit with a different single din deck?
Any idea on a 1992 Electra Glide to keep handle bar control?
will these faceplates and harness work with a Sony DSX-A415BT ??
Great videos 👍Where would you run the yellow wire for the Sony m100bt. Thanks
I have 2012 road glide with dealer installed speaker lids with amp from the stock radio company. How do keep the amp with a aftermarket head unit? Do you have a video on that? I figure it same as the cvo bikes.
Do you know where I can get a radio harness for a 1994 flhtcui
enybody a solution for Electra 2011 CVO. I installed Kenwood, but I don't get any music out of the speakers
So what becomes.of the factory large harness .. radio connector on right side of stock stereo is it left hanging and dormant .. this is the very large connector that doesn't have anything to plug into with an aftermarket
Yes, if you have an Ultra the connector is tucked out of the way after the rear speaker outputs from the new head unit are tapped in.
I’m having trouble getting my controls to work, I have everything install exactly how u showed and it’s not working? Can someone plz help me out. I have a 01 electric glade with a kenwood head unit
Fantastic
Slide the head unit in from the rear? Now we're getting somewhere
What radio adapter do I need to fit an aftermarket radio on 1990 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic? Thank you.
What did you end up using I have an 89 and want to know what I need Thanks in advance
Is there just a wiring diagram? Some previous owner cut the plugs out
What color is the wire for constant 12v on the bike side
Same question…
Thanks for the video. My harness (23 pin harley harness) has 2 black (pin locations 11 & 19) and 2 yellow wires (pin locations 10 & 20), so I have one of each left over. Which do I solder with the radio unit harness and what do I do with the leftover wires (if anything)?
Hi! I have the same problem, how did you solved?
Thank you
I have 04 road king I need to connect to Electra glide front fairing is there an connector adaptive to Electra glide handle bars
How do I get the pre-wired assembly? 2013 Roadglide Ultra. Will the CB bolt back on top? Do you have good speakers for the fairing? Thanks for a great video!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately there is no way to retain the CB Feature with this radio. As Far as speakers and getting a head Unit send me an email Fatheadcycles@gmail.com and we can put a package together that meets your needs. Thanks for watching!
If wiring an amplifier into this same setup, would I then just not connect the four (white/gray) wires into the bike harness and run those to the amp from the head unit harness and from the amp to the speakers?
Cody O'Leary if you are running an amp the 4 wires do not have to get connected to anything. You can connect them to the harness Incase you ever want to take the amp out. Will not hurt anything. I would connect the headunit to the amp with rca cables. That is going to be your cleanest signal.
Great video, my question is what would I need to do for an 06 CVO Ultra Classic? I removed the Amp and harness already, I want to still use the rear speakers. Would it be easier just to redo the wiring and power source? Thanks again
The quickest way to do this is to run new wires to the speaker pods
Good work! Please answer- I've got a 1997 HD Electra glide ultra classic from Japan.. I want to change the head unit... Does this wheel remote control is good for me?
My head unit has two connection wire group like - [::::] [::::::]
I think that it should work but I am not 100%
the video is well done. i purchased the system in the video, BUT i have the 2010 Ultraclassic CVO with the amp. At the end of the video it was said that this will work for everything EXCEPT the CVO with the Harley Amp. what needs to be done to make this work with the Harley amp or can I eliminate the Harley amp?
My Kenwood radio doesn't have a "remote" plug in on the rear of the head unit. What do I do?
(Very very good instruction!) HI is There any codes for the stock H/D CD or am/fm radio since the display all work fine just no sound whatsoever I have 2005 Road Glide FLTRI it just stop working i was playing a CD on accessory the motor was not running when I was done I turned the off the ignition next day no sound the display works fine Thank you
I do not believe that there are any codes per ser for the radio on a bike of that age. It unfortunately sounds like your radio took a dump.
nice video.
Thank you so much for watching.
man you have great prices
I have a 1997 would this work for mine
Why dont you use the orange illumination wire? Thanks
Because it does nothing with the older bikes. Thanks for watching.
What about the pink and white wire?
I have two questions for you on this does it retain the push to talk feature that is built in the bike and does it affect the factory alarm. My bike is an 09 FLHTCU
By Push to Talk I assume that you are referring to the CB. You loose that feature with any aftermarket head unit. But this plug and play kit will not affect your factory security system in anyway
Will this work on a 2014 ultra limited? If not, can someone direct me to the kit I need?
Great video. My question is about hooking up the rear speakers on my Ulta. Where do I tap in? Thanks in advance.
Rear speakers on a 2005 ultra classic...harness for CB u want
Rt rear - white with black
Rt rear + Brown
It rear - lt green with black
It rear + drk green
@@mikesnyder5103 On my 2004 Ultra classic it's the opposite - Right rear is green and green with black line, left rear is white with brown stripe and solid brown. The stripes always represent the negative wire.
Will this work on a 2013 flhtp?
Do they make these for an 89? Can't find them anywhere
Well this stuff work on a 97 ultra
I have no power to my radio all fuses are good what’s wrong
do not use CD player for Harley too much vibration
I have a 90 ultra classic what radio and peripherals will work to up grade it and still be ale use the controls thanks in advance.
What did you end up doing I got an 89 ultra
Does It play CDs ??
How can I unmute radio on a 08 StreetGlide?
Wicked
Is there a way to.unpin the rear speakers wires from factory harness ? Or.is it easier just to cut and slice I would like the kenwood deck to power rears and amp to power fronts and lowers
I normally just cut into the harness that provides signal to the rear speakers. I just make sure to leave myself enough to reattach the cut if the customer wants to return the bike to stock in the future. Thanks for watching
@@FatHeadCycles can u tell is the color of the wires...seems noone can figure them out
Rear speakers on a 2005 ultra classic...harness for CB u want
Rt rear - white with black
Rt rear + Brown
Lt rear - lt green with black
Lt rear + del green
I have a 2013 road glide CVO You're saying this will not work on mine
The issue with the CVO bikes is that it will not turn the factory amplifier on. If you have an aftermarket amp you are golden.
Is there a harness you can get for a 4 speaker system on an Ultra?
Since this video came out we have developed a plug and play ultra harness. Give us a call. 301-825-9007.
👍
How you get the blue light in the gauges like in the thumbnail??
We had those gauges done by WWW.gaugemods.net
Do we lose the intercom functionality with an aftermarket radio?
Yes. You'll lose CB and intercom function.
Where’s the 3.5 mm wire go 2010 Streetglide
Good video bit too much talking as opposed to getting to the install portion.
