I appreciate all the help guys. Yeah, I plugged my old iPod into the 30 pin connector... nothing displays on the radio. Same results with the brand new iPod nano with the lightning/30 pin adapter. Looks like I have to start chasing wires. If you can think of anything that I am not doing correctly, please let me know. I'll have to spend some time this week/weekend, chasing the cable down until it disappears into the fairing. I called my local HD, they told me to plug in a few different devices and see if anything comes up; if nothing happens, cable change/wiring harne$$. From what I was reading in previous posts, it could be the NIM too. Thanks again!

Just a thought on this,, check to make sure the iPod harness from the saddle bag to the wiring going to the head unit is plugged in. It might have gotten unplugged when the saddle bags were off and never plug back in.

Already checked that connection, cleaned the connector, still no help. Gunna take the seat off and check the wiring further. Thanks!

You old classic may or may not work.  It has a hard drive, not flash memory.

When you plug any of them in, do you get a choice for iPod on the head unit?  If no, that means its not even seeing it at all.  You may have to check all connections, including those in the fairing.

It was a newer iPod and a brand new nano. No, nothing comes up on the head unit. I even plugged in an iPhone! Anyhow, I am going to take off the seat this weekend and start from there. Thanks for the help! You must have a huge garage!

There is not much under the seat that I am aware of.  I have had four bikes now with this iPod set up.  There is the plug in the bag, the plug out side the bag.  Then if I remember right it goes under the seat, and under the tank in the big plastic run for cables up to the fairing.  I believe the next plugs are the NIM or Head Unit.

My garage is 25 wide, with one stall 23 deep and the other is 30 deep.  In it are one car and five bikes.

Thanks for the info. The 30 pin connector in the saddlebag seems fine, as does the connector outside the bag. This is my first bike with a fairing; hate to tear into this thing for the iPod, but I want it to work. I also don't want to pay HD $1,000 in labor plus parts either!
