And how do you remove it properly?

If you don't do it for a living every day, the easiest way is use two soldering irons. One on each end and it will lift right off the board. 

[Mr John DEUFF]

OK thanks for your precious advise.

Very good instructions. Worked the first time. Suggest everyone get a 10 magnifying loop and a bright light before cutting the trace. (Especially if you can't see well like me). I wedged exacto knife blades under the 6 tabs, to hold them open, as I worked them off. It was easy and fast. Just be sure to NOT push them into the faceplate circuit board. Thanks A Million.

Is the TIP of the AUX Plug Right Channel or Left Channel? Somewhere I found a picture on the board but can no longer find it. THANKS!

The jack tip is (-), the middle is (L), and the inside portion is (R)

[QUADRK]

The TIP of the stereo plug is Left +
the Ring of the stereo plug is Right +
and the long barrel furthest away from the tip is ground.

on the jack looking down at the top of the plug with the front opening toward you,
the front contact on the right is ground.
the contact on the left side of plug is Right +
the contact on the right side near the back of jack is Tip Left +

Hope this answers your question.

Has anyone tried this method:


You need to tell the radio that you have some thing plugged into the Auxiliary Input Port. One way is to cut a circuit trace on the PC board. The other is to remove a component from the circuit board. I suggest the latter but I will tell you how to do both. The latter  process will eliminate the possibility that you damage the circuit board by cutting to deeply. If you do cut the trace then do so very lightly. Using an X-Acto knife with a new sharp blade gently scratch across the trace to cut through it.

NOTE: Be very carful not to cut to deeply as this board is multi layered. Cutting to deeply will result in your cutting other traces and this will cost you money to repair the circuit board. It is best to think of yourself as making love to a new girl friend, use light smooth strokes. Make a few passes with light pressure and then use the blade to lift up and fold over the trace.

The best way and the one I suggest will be to remove the component. Use of a small pair of needle nose pliers will help in the removal process. Heat one end of the component while pulling the component up and away from the circuit board.

Does anyone know what doing this accomplishes:

All I want to do is get the XM and MP3s to play through the HK Radio WITHOUT the use of a cable from the side of the Garmin 665.

In a word, you can't.  The reason for putting the AUX jack in the back of the radio is to better hide the stereo patch cord from whatever device you have running from the output of the device.  You still must have the cord, it's just hidden better than running it to the AUX input on the front of the radio.  But, if you have the dash mount on your SEUC, the harness for the 665 (I assume that's what you have) should have a connector inside the fairing, if I'm not mistaken.  You'd have to run a patch cord from that output jack to the new input on the back of the radio.  Everything would be hidden.

But, I haven't seen the harness in person, so I could be mistaken.

Why don't you send bissjim a PM... that is his product/website and he's a vendor here.

Yes I have a SEUC 2011 and it came with the 660 that I upgraded to the 665. There is a cable from the harness but it is hooked up y the NIM  device so I think it is for the GPS when she gives me turn by turn directions. The only other similar connector (unused) is for a mic.

As d00d mentioned, it would be best to contact Jim (bissjim) to be sure, as he may know a workaround to plugging a cable into the side of the GPS to accomplish what you want to do.

On my '06 I just ran the patch cord from the GPS output into the clutch cable grommet for the fairing and would push it in out of the way when not in use, using a 90 degree patch cable connector on the GPS end.  If there's no way to feed the wire through the dash mount hole, you may be stuck doing it that way, which isn't all that obtrusive, IMO.

The Aux to NIM document shows you how you must connect the GPS output to your Auxiliary Input on the radio if you have a NIM. The only way you can hear Xm Radio, MP3 songs, a phone call, weather and traffic alerts from the GPS is by using the auxiliary input on the radio. The external microphone jack that you have from the GPS is where the HD Bomm plugs in. The HD Bomm lets you talk on the phone using your helmet microphone.
