So I tried to follow this procedure on my 2012 SESG3. I checked my wiring over and over again and I realized the instructions here don't connect up the CAN +/- wires.
I tried following the instructions in this post and it does not get the CAN+/- connected. The LED on the NIM did not light up.
How is the NIM supposed to operate?

Phil,
I'm not sure which of the several different "instructions" you tried to follow in this thread. One "instruction" is to create a 6B connector to allow use of the non-Ultra Overlay harness (NUOH) which includes a 6A connector to the 6B connector created. The 6A connector of the NUOH mated to the 6B connector makes-up the connector 6 referenced in the NIM and Ipod instructions that is "separated" and between which the Ipod and/or Nim harness are connected in series. Since the NUOH 6A connector includes the CAN + and - wires from pinouts 13 and 14, the CAN wiring is supplied to the Ipod and NIM modules when their harness is connected in series.
A second "instruction" refers to the use of the 69200033 harness. This harness was intended by HD to be used on a non-CVO NIM or Ipod installation because it supplies the 35 wire connector not otherwise used on non-CVO bikes (e.g. Street Glide, Road Glide, and EG Classic), and is a more economical way to make the necessary connections to the HK head unit w/o the many other connectors included with the NUOH (for CB, rider and passenger headsets, etc.). For an SESG2/3 application, the harness would also require a 6B connector to be added to the bike and is used much like a NUOH but without all of the connectors (for CB, rider headset, etc.) found on the NUOH. The instructions for the 69200033 harness refer to making the wiring connections from the 6B connector (chambers/slots 4 and 5 to pinouts 13 and 14 for the CAN + and - wiring--see steps 3 and 4 of the instructions.
The third "instruction" is the wiring diagram and parts list with explanation supplied by a tech at an HD dealership for adding XM. Instead of supplying power and ground, and the CAN + and - wiring via an added 6B connector and NUOH or 60200033 harness to an XM module, that wiring is supplied by splicing the SESG2/3 Ipod harness wiring. The third instruction is to create a harness: one end connects to the XM module connector with two branches--one to the splices in the Ipod harness, and a second branch to the 35 wire connector already on the SESG2/3's head unit for connecting to the XM-specific pinouts; a NIM installation would be the same except for the NIM specific wires connecting to the 35 wire connector, and the connector to the NIM.

If you clarify what wiring you did, it's likely you can get the help here to make the NIM work on your SESG3.
