Title: "How To" HK 06 and up Aux Jack to back of radio
Post by: hd-dude on January 02, 2007, 10:05:17 PM
Let me start by saying that this is not as easy as on the 05 and earlier radios. TCnBham sent me his radio to make this modifcation so thanks for being the guinea pig Terry. I can't take all of the credit as I solicited the help of Paul from Hawg-Wired to get this done so thanks to Hawg-Wired as well.


Here goes:

Remove your radio from the bike. The CB and XM module must be removed as well. There is a rubber strip around the radio that is not shown in the pics. This needs to be removed as well to gain access to the screws and plastic tabs that hold the facceplate on.

First pic is of the top of the radio. You need to remove the two T8 torx screws and the top of the radio can be lifted off. There are two screws on the back edge of the radio that hold the XM and CB modules in place that are also removed.

The next step is to remove the radio faceplate. This is done by releasing the 6 plastic tabs around the radio. Release these with a small screw driver by gently prying them up. There are two on the top two on the bottom and one on each side. Once released the face of the radio will come off.

Bottom Tabs...The two on the sides are not shown but you get the idea...

Here is the front of the radio removed. Note the orange rubber seal around the backside of the radio faceplate. make sure this does not come out as it seals the front of the radio at the jack.

The next step is the wiring [smiley=nervous.gif]. You'll need a good fine tip soldering iron for this. Here is the right side of the input jack. The black wire is the common (-) and the red wire is the left (+)., shown soldered in place.

Now is the tricky part.....There is a solder trace on the PC board that needs to be cut in in order to have the radio stop at the aux position with nothing plugged into the front panel. Here is a close up of the trace that has been cut. To cut the trace use a x-acto knife with a new sharp blade. gently scratch across the trace to remove it.

Title: Re: "How To" HK 06 and up Aux Jack to back of radi
Post by: hd-dude on January 02, 2007, 10:25:32 PM
I drilled a hole and used a gromet to protect the wire. DO NOT USE A PANEL MOUNTED JACK!!. The HK radio isolates the ground from chassis. Most all panel type jacks will connect the ground to the chassis.

That's it.......Thanks again to Paul at Hawg-Wired for helping me figure this one out and to Terry for the used of the radio.

Thanks Brian....It is a b*tch to get the faceplate off, when releasing the tabs the others like to clip back on. Cutting the solder trace will be a bit of a chore as well, don't cut the wrong one...... [smiley=oops.gif]

Yep, the seal would be in the way getting the face off.

The radio will go to UPS in the AM on its way back to you....

Two...I tried, and may try again, but the damn things are hard to get lined up without cross threading!! The bracket is so close to the radio back there, I can't get my mouth held right to get them started with my fingers.

I'm glad you got it back together and its working, It really cleans up the look without the wires there.

Pick yourself up a set of these for working on the bike, They are worth there weight in gold!

They are made by Bondhus and availible at most hardware stores.

I would have sworn I did not cross-thread mine, but the one on the starboard side in the back there never would tighten down once it went in.  POS.

Craftman (and others) have these that have proved to be occasionally handy too.  Ball end on the long end to help with the problem discussed here but an extra tool end out the side of the t-handle that can used when more leverage is needed for a tight fastener.

I have a set similiar to those that i do not use. The short end on the handle is always stabbing you in the hand when in use. I just find them to be an uncomfortable tool.

They were cheap on sale one time ($19.99).  I've found them handy when faced with a tight fastener.  Haven't really experienced the problem you describe in regular use though.  We must grip them a little differently.  Have another set (without the extra tool end) with a bit larger grip that I do use primarily though when don't want the extra leverage.

I've got the regular L shaped set with ball end on the long side...they work OK with a pair of good pliers.  Certainly not as comfortable as the T handled ones though.  A good pair of Lineman's Pliers serve many purposes...hammer, cutter, and gripper... ;)

If any 08'ers want to do this, you have to remove the GPS module before you can remove the radio's top;

1. Remove these 2 screws.
Title: Re: "How To" HK 06 and up Aux Jack to back of radio

Does this mod allow the GPS sound to interupt the radio or is it to allow you to plug the aux in the back instead of the front only?

This mod does not affect the way the HD GPS system works at all. It is done to allow aux input into the rear of the radio.

An alternative to this method (which I'm guessing will void your warranty) is to use a simple RF modulator (http://www.teptronics.com/fmmod.html (http://www.teptronics.com/fmmod.html)) using an antenna Y cable (http://www.audio-discounters.com/40-uv43.html (http://www.audio-discounters.com/40-uv43.html)). Then just patch your audio device into the modulator. This allows you to listen to your audio device on an unused radio channel (like 89.9). Everything else on your HK radio will work the same.

I did this on my 07 a year and a half ago. This is how I can listen to my Zumo. It's worked flawlessly and it's fast to install and does not alter the bike equipment or wiring. For power to the modulator, I just used flat spade plugs and plugged them into the unused power connector that's in the headlight bundle.

That might be true as far as it goes, but.. you would have to be tuned to that station in order for you to hear the directions or whatever from the zumo. I'm after some way to hear the directions from the zumo while I'm listening to the CD player/XM/AM/FM on the bikes radio. I've already got AM/FM, CD player, XM, & weather working on my bike's radio so I'm trying to get the zumo to "seamlessly" interface with it and not move all of my features (that already work) to another device.

Thanks for the thoughts though. :)

You will still have to have the radio set to the "aux" setting to hear the GPS. You will not be able to hear it with the radio in any other position (CD/XM/FM etc).

Maybe so & maybe no.. I keep thinking I should be able to use the bluetooth to interface the two of them somehow.. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree but both devices handle "bluetooth".. you sure would think they could talk that way while still in another radio mode.. I'm just too cheap to but the HK bluetooth module to try it.. :-\

Both methods (using AUX or using RF) result in the same thing. Neither will do exactly what you want though. At least with the ZUMO, you can listen to MP3's (from the zumo) and still get the voice prompts, use the CB and intercom. My understanding is Harley's BT module is far from compliant and will only work with certain cell phones. Some time ago, I had started on a design to plug into the sidecar intercom connector to connect other devices to the system. I stopped after I didn't find enough need for it.

Here is a close up of the trace that has been cut. To cut the trace use a x-acto knife with a new sharp blade. gently scratch across the trace to remove it.

I'm in the process of doing this mod on my 06 ultra for my Zumo.  I believe I have cut the circuit board trace correctly and have attached a photo of my work but when I reinstalled, the aux audio mode did not appear unless i plugged into the front of the radio....so I've done something wrong.  I've cut completely through the board trace, even exposing the metal sheet of the board.  Is additional cutting required to the trace running parallel to the one I cut....which is closest to the front of the radio.  You do say to cut the solder trace...im not really sure what you mean by this.  It doesn't appear as if I have as much solder in that area you show above.  My pics are horrible but hopefully you can identify what needs to be done.  I'm an engine builder....if it doesn't have oil running through it...im lost.  Please help!

Thank you very much.

Kevin;

Its really hard to tell from your pic if you've got the trace cut. I think there are some shadows as well. The trace is solder over copper so when you scratch through it you should see the fiber board after you get throught the copper. These boards may be multi layer so you do not want to go too deep into it.

Can you provide a closer pic to review?

even with macro on, xtra lights, etc...i can not get a better pic.  i'll describe it better though.....  i dont think ive cut thru solder.  there are two parallel strips that come out of the back of the socket and turn left.  i used a knife and cut thru the one closest to the front of the radio approx halfway between the socket and the first small black chip (i guess).  i cut thru the green, the stripe, and partly into what appears to be a piece of sheet metal.  this may help...am i supposed to be cutting something other than that stripe im referring to?

i'll keep trying with pics.

Looking at the pic its hard to tell if your throught the trace. I marked your pic where you need to cut. When using the razor you should be able to see that your through it when your into the fibrous PC board material. Hope this helps....

Just finished mine and it works great.  Few things I learned along the way....I did find the grommets at Radio Shack, (different sales person, an a different day).  I was able to leave the rubber seal around the front of the radio on, just fliped it towards the front.  I used flat toothpicks on the bottom and side face plate clips to hold them open and not lock back on when I tried the top.  I also used a jewelers head band magnifying lenses to see the circit board while cuting the two dark green trace lines legs for the Aux Jack.  I found the stick on zip tie holders at Home Depot.

Thanks to all for your imput, and Jim for all the details.  Anyone in the Lancaster CA. area wanting to try this, Let me know.

So is there a way to do this and have both the front and rear audio jacks work??  I would hate to not have the front work at all.

I'm a bit confused by the diagram.  The soldered red, black and yellow wires, are they from the the cable going out the back, or otherwise we would not see this connection?  If so, I assume that the ground is connected and won't have to be secured to the frame. 
Also the trace you mentioned that  has to be cut, if this is cut how does the connection still stop at aux if nothing is plugged in? Does the the new cable make it think there is something plugged in?

I'm going to have a radio tech do that locally so I want to be able to give him the right info.  Do you do the ugrade for others? If so, what would it cost and where are you.

Thanks, Framemaker

1. Yes
2. The unit will stop at aux when you cycle thru the inputs (FM, AM, CD etc). Previously it would only stop @ aux if there was something plugged in.

What happens if you don't cut the trace. Sorry, I guess I'm still a bit confused, but becoming more enlightened. :o)

Framemaker:

The trace gets cut to allow the function switch on the bars to stop at the aux position even though there is nothing plugged into the front jack. It does not prevent the front jack from functioning in any way. You can have a device plugged into the front and rear at the same time but only one can be on or you will overdrive the inputs to the unit.

Yes, The cables going out the back are soldered onto the board, this is what I added for the rear jack. Yes the ground is connected and you DO NOT connect it to the frame.

Yes I can do the upgrade for you, i'll PM my info.

Wanted to give you an update.  Took the faring apart and removed the radio and the attached xm and cb modules.  Printed all your info and took it to a local electronics repair shop after several discussions with the tech.  Used all new shielded cables, he left me about 3' feet of excess out the back.  Added a 3 way splitter and used electrical tape to make sure the connection was secure.  Rerouted all wires from gps, radar detector, and Ipod.  Used cable ties to keep them from possible harm by the steering head.
The result was amazing,  absolutely no engine noise or interference.  The stereo seperation is the best it has ever been and volume is clearer and louder. 
If anyone can solder well or knows a good electronic tech, I highly recommend the modification.  Clipping the trace works exactly as reccommended and both ports work fine.  However the front stock port is too weak to use for long periods of time and will create static and engine noise. Not sure if you want to attempt to replace it as well.

Thanks, Framemaker

TANK;

You will still have to have the radio set to the "aux" setting to hear the GPS. You will not be able to hear it with the radio in any other position (CD/XM/FM etc).
[/quote]

TANK: Are you looking for these features :nervous:? (sorry my poor english :()
For my Ultra 2008 I purchased from Kennedy Tech (www.cellset.com) an Amp Module Kit (www.cellset.com/95436.html) and harness (www.cellset.com/GPSHarnesses.html) to connect my Garmin 2820 into HK system. I paired my cell phone via bluetooth into Garmin. All works good (except a just hearable buzz from Garmin while screen light isn't at minimum). I am able to hear Garmin prompts and take and receive phone calls with the radio in any  position (CD,FM etc) via HD headset. Phonebook is visible in the touch screen of Garmin and I can make and get calls by touching the Garmin.
My fellow have Zumo 550 installed into same kit and there is no buzz at all!
And Garmin bluetooth accepts any cellphone with BT

If you strip one of the radio mounting screws out (on the clutch side of the radio opposite the heat sink) can the nutsert be replaced by taking the top cover off?  Is the nutsert available from Harley for the HK radios as they are different than the Radio sound radios?

The wire color is diffferent on different cables. I use a meter to verify which color goes to which segment on the connector.

Just saw this Don.  It ticked me off as I was a dumbarse.  If I ever take the radio out again, I will have to use a hacksaw blade to cut the screw (between the bracket and the radio).  I will remove the  radio lid and see if I can use a locally attained nutsert.  Otherwise, the radio will go back in with 3 screws.  The nutserts were easily replaced for the old Radio Sounds.

Ouch, that sucks.  Hopefully the sert spun before the bolt got too tight so you'll have a little wiggle room to get a blade in there once the other three bolts are removed.  Don't remember the mftr's name.  But somewhere before I've had some much thinner than normal sawzall blades.  They don't hold up long.  But for a specific need they're very effective.  Will see if I still have any and if so put something in the mail to you.

Usually you can get the nutsert at a local autobody supply.  The collision industry uses them in repairs since the auto mfrs use them in  a lot of places.

I'd make a few calls to verify.  If you take the cover off the radio, you can hold it from spinning and re-tap it, I had to do that once.  Learned to be very careful after that.

You can try to wedge and twist a small screw driver between the bracket and the nutsert to hold it while you try to remove the bolt, don't mangle the radio case.  lol...   :nixweiss:

Good luck.

I'm new to the forum and to riding a Harley. I am, however, a bit of an adventure seeker and so this mod was a "challenge" I couldn't refuse.  I love my Zumo and I hate loose wires hanging off the dash so I attempted this mod on my 08 105th Anniversary UC. It was extremely easy (with all of the above instructions) up UNTIL.... the cutting of the trace. I didn't have an exacto knife and my eyes are a bit "aged" so I broke out the JUMBO magnifying glass and a razor blade. I just wasn't feeling it so I stopped and thought about it. I decided if I left the trace in tact and used a "dummy plug" in the front then all should be well. So I cut the male end off of a plug, left about 1/4 inch of the rubber on the male insert and coated the cut end with "liquid" electrical tape and let it dry. It works like a champ as far as the radio recognizing "aux" and the Zumo MP3's, directions, etc. are clear as a bell. I would like to get a small rubber washer to fit between the plug and the aux port so it will be water tight and I can just leave the plug in.

NOW, from all the "experts" out there let me know if I'm about to fry something by doing this. I feel like it's OK because the "dummy plug" isn't powered by anything but then again I'm no electronic guru... I have a pic but am not familiar enough with the site to get it to attach. UNLESS it attaches automatically when I post this. I guess I'm truly electronically "challenged"!

Anywho, be safe and keep those ideas coming!

I don't know what he used but you can use this:

1/8" Stereo Phone Plug:

(2-Pack) 
Model: 274-284  |  Catalog #: 274-284
 
comes 2 in a pack, just put some RTV or expoxy in the end to waterproof it. You can also check Wal_Mart for a 1/8" stereo extension cable and cut off the jack end. But the part above is a good price.

The easiest way to get the parts is to but a 1/8" stereo extension cable and cut it to length. The only other part you need is a grommet where the cable come throught the radio case. Both of these can be picked up at Radio Shack.

Thanks for going to the trouble to give the details  and the pictures were great. It would be nice if Harley would get on the band wagon sooner than later with this. A usb port in the back would be great. I don't guess that you know how to wire one of those in ?

I just attached three wires to the front jack unit. However, I am still having trouble understanding about cutting the trace. Am I suppose to clear the top surface or all the way through the green board? Help!

Thank U

Just the copper trace. You do not have to cut very deep at all. The copper trace is only about 1/4 as thick as a piece of typying paper. Just make a couple of cuts with the razor blade.

Well I took every thing a part and was able to fix front jack. I put too much solder lead on them. I melted them and blew them away with air compressor. It works now. However I was not able to align the orange seal perfect. So I went to local Harley dealers to check other new bikes. Guess what the new bikes' radios were not perfect neither. So I am very happy with the final result.

thx once again

Here are the pictures.

First impression on Zumo 660.
Nice unit, starts fast, good MP3 player. Easy usage.
Fairing mount, clean installation, but GPS pointed some what outward than I wanted.

Rear AUX port works better than I expected (took me another 1 hour and half).
Boom cellphone connector, It works, but cellphone volume is somewhat low.

So far so good.

I'm going with the handlebar mount.  I have the HogTunes HogPod ,so fairing mount is not an option.  You can always put a plastic plug in the hole, or glue/ silicone something like the CVO coin, or a pin, get creative!  Drill a smaller hole and forget the grommet.

Also, for this radio mod, how long should that cable be. I don't want longer than necessary and realize this length will depend on the rear ports cable. Since all you guys have already completed this project ... suggestions, please?

I ended up with a throw away cable from best buy installation service. It had a 90 degree on both ends but the price was right. 3 Feet long was plenty in length. Some day I may change it but all is well. I should add, I went to a jeweler to look though his glasses at the traces. We both agreed they were cut. After installation I discovered the rear Aux jack didn't work. Pulled the radio again and let a "kid"  look at the traces. (no glasses) He said the rear one wasn't completetly cut so handed him the exacto and held my breath. HE FIXED IT. I love this mod!

Thanks HD-Dude.  I had my fairing apart to put in the J&M Speakers and decided to add an aux input to the rear while I was at it.  The instructions you gave were wonderful and the mod works great.  The actual parts inside the radio are so much smaller than the photos led me to believe, but I got through it.  Had to buy a kit of precision screwdrivers that had a T-8 torx in it because the smallest I had was a T-10, so now I have more tools as well...thanks again
Carl

SOOOOOOO does the software version matter to select the aux channel because w/v8.9 when you plug in it selects aux?  I am not clear on why you need to break the trace at the radio?  Will the front no longer work?

Also has anyone done their LEDs or have a photo of how many and where they are on the faceplate?
Title: Re: "How To" HK 06 and up Aux Jack to back of radio
Post by: bissjim on April 22, 2010, 07:35:12 AM
Breaking the trace fakes the detection circuit in the radio into thinking you have plugged a jack into the front connector. If you don't have a jack plugged into the AUX input connector (and you don't fake the detection circuit)then you won't be able to select the AUX input on the radio.

The front connector will continue to work also.

I don't think the version has anything to do with it.

I am not sure what you are asking with your second question.

There are 26 LEds behind the LCD and 15 behind the buttons (2 different types) You need to remove the conformal coating when working on the LCD LEDs. When that coating is heated by the soldering iron, the gases contain formaldehyde....nasty stuff, so be careful. You then need to re-coat the removed conformal coating with a flexible waterproofing material. Do not use lacquer based waterproofing, it will crack with the vibration the bike is subject to and become useless. Good luck

If you use a 3 wire combantion and a fitting from The Shaft just solder them the same as the board.  ground is pretty easy to figure and once you solder the left and right it would only mean left and right are reversed no big deal right?

Now is the tricky part.....There is a solder trace on the PC board that needs to be cut in in order to have the radio stop at the aux position with nothing plugged into the front panel. Here is a close up of the trace that has been cut. To cut the trace use a x-acto knife with a new sharp blade. gently scratch across the trace to remove it.

Is this solder trace in the circuit that flips the radio to aux when something is plugged into the aux jack?  If so, how does this work?  I noted that the radio will flip even if the other end of the cord is not connected to anything.

I am trying to find a circuit that will flip the radio to aux only when the GPS has an audio output.

I'm not an electronics expert, but having done this mod I  would say the circuit you cut somehow "senses" when there it something plugged in to the front port . By cutting it you short circuit it's function as it will also work if you insert a "dummy plug" into the port.

You do not have the jack on the back of your radio. If you want one you need to do the Mod. If you wanted to listen to MP3 files or made a phone call via the GPS then you need to run a cable from the GPS to the Auxiliary input on the front of the radio. To make or take a phone call you will also need a helmet microphone interface such as the HD Bomm or equivalent, the Cell Set. Doing the Mod allows you to plug into the jack on the back of the radio so that you do not have to plug into the front Aux input port. The Mod just cleans up the looks you really do not need it if you plug into the front Aux port on the face of the radio.

Special Note:

If you cut TOO DEEP when cutting the printed circuit board tracer so you can have AUX always on the radio display ...
You will end up with only 1 of the 2 stereo sides working during the use of the AUX selection, otherwise the radio and everything else works properly.

And then you can send your radio to Iron Cross to have him repair the circuit board ...

$ 150.00 for the repair
Repair Circuit Board that I cut too deep, L900-C918 & CP402  (DUH)
Install Audio Circuit Anti Vibration Mod
Reinforce the J900 Connector & Aux Plug
Reinforce the Conformal Coating & Power Distribution Circuit
Reinforce the Faceplate PCB Liquid Mod
Upgraded software from original 8.19 to 8.22
$  40.00 for the Aux Rear Plug install
$  15.00 for return shipping

The board is multi-layer. For all you non-electronic types, that means in addition to the circuit you see on the top and bottom of the board, there are 3 layers of traces layered in-between. Layers are a bit less than 1mm from each other. Two things can happen if you cut too deep. You can cut one or more of the lower layer traces, creating an open in one or more of the aux channels, or....and this really is a pain...you can push the upper layer into the lower creating a short. When the second happens, all sorts of components blow.

Please be careful when cutting.

When I was going to college they did not have multi layered circuit boards, just a few simple single layered ones and they were few and far between, military had a few. Any ways I digress. I had a lab teacher who told me way back then that it was best to think of yourself as making love to a new girl friend when you are cutting traces, very lightly with smooth strokes.

You can download the instructions for the Mod here:

www.hdbomm.com

The existing wires stay in place.

Run a 3.5mm stereo extension cable from the Audio Output of the Zumo and plug it into the newly installed jack on the back of the radio. You should be able to select AUX on the radio after you plug into the front or rear port.

Email me if you have any further questions or need assistance.

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.

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.

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.

All you need to do is us a Y-harness on the audio out from the GPS.  One leg then goes to the NIM and the other to the AUX.  Have it on my bike and works fine.   :2vrolijk_21:

Yes...that should do it, along with the mod to the radio to have a AUX input on the back of the radio if you don't want a cable on the front AUX input.  But you will have to have the radio set to AUX for the MP3 or XM from the Roadtech to play.

Yep! That's what I want. No wires plugging into the side of the GPS or the front of the HK Radio.

Looks like I need to run to Radio Shack for the parts listed and an extra cable to cut off and solder to the AUX connector for the rear cable AUX mod.

Did anyone end up with a stereo cable with one black one red and one bare? I have all the luck!

We have seen that. Bare is ground, and the last one I remember the red was the left channel. Best to check with a VOM to be sure of the colors.

Thanks! Which is right/left on the plug so I can trace back?

If you do not have a a volt/ohm meter there is no way to identify which color wire is left or right output. The reason for this is because not all cable manufactures follow a standard wire coloring spec.

The bare wire will always be the common or ground. If you are not a music buff you would not know what sound is supposed to come out of which speaker anyway so it will not matter which color wire you use for the left channel and which for the right channel. Just pick you have a 50% chance of getting it correct.

Those links are correct. Tip is left, next section right, and third ground.

All I'll have to do tomorrow is solder those in and put it back in the bike!

Anyone doing this (if over 50) buy a nice magnifying glass!!

Thanks for your help. I have it all done and it works fine. Pretty stressfull work for me!
If I did it again I would use the male end out of the back of the radio. That would plug directly inot the NIM. I had to use the patch cable and the left too much cable that was not needed.
665 still does not have enough volume for me. All settings are 100% but not sharp enough for me at speed. Sounds great in the driveway.

Felt the same way, installed a boostaroo and all is good. Actually had to lower percentage out on 660,

I got to get the bike out to ride again today 70 degrees here :orange:
The volume thing was solved by two things. !st was a garmin update last night.
I rode against the directions so that I could play with the volume some. It was much better after the update. I did find that you can adjust the directions (Miss Jill) separate on the head unit. This is separate from music volume.Try pushing your volume control (on the bars) up WHILE she is giving directions. This will raise bluetooth and direction volume through the speakers. I missed getting that earlier. Jill will blast you off the bike if want her to!!

Auto parts stores, good hardware stores, Lowes, Amazon, Waytek, Painless, Jegs, Summit, R...., ok, lots of places.  Did you try Googling "zip tie anchor?"

I did this mod and the sound works great but I was wondering if anyone else has the issue that I am seeing.

sometimes when I start the bike it will switch itself to aux when I was listening to FM before I shut it off.

This happens even with new radios, nothing to worry about. If it gets to be a pain in the butt for you just send the radio in for repair.

The folks at Iron Cross Audio are nice people and will be happy to take care of you.

Iron cross does this mod for those of us who don't feel like disecting the radio.  Seems worth it to me.  They have great service and turn around time.  Tony is a great guy to work with.  His blue tooth mod is good too.   Stuart
