Sweet and the pictures really help - just finished hacking my friends and it works GREAT!!!

[hogheritage04]

Couple of questions: 1. The description you are showing, is this on the Harmon Kardon radio? 2. What should I ask for, for the connector cord that comes out the back of the radio?  3.  Are you saying to cut the brown wire so that it will stop at the AUX postion?  Why is that?  4.  How hard is it to get the radio out of the dash and what is required to get it out?  Appreciate the help, I have a Garmin GPS hooked up and have had to tie into the front AUX port with the wire hanging around my bars. I've been wanting to get that wire behind the fairing since I got the bike.  Thanks again. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Jim, I will be anxiously awaiting you doing an HK radio, as I need to do this to mine now. the black cord was not noticable on the black inner fairing...'till I put the chrome face plate on the radio and surrounding guages...

Have no earthly idear where to get a schematic for the HK.... [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Great, thanks for the answers.  I was pretty sure, based on the pictures that this wasn't the HK radio.  I will be anxiously awaiting your detailed description for doing the same with the HK.  Thanks for all your help, and will look forward to your post.  [smiley=drink.gif]

I am assuming that the reason for this is to have say your IPOD (which I have no problems with but would be curious as to how to turn the equalizer off or to flat - I have the IPOD MINI) and a GPS running audio at the same time.

Question: Having your GPS run thru the new Aux at the back and your MP3 player thru the front, what happens when your GPS starts to talk to you? Does the MP3 player mute or would you hear both at the same time?

Both inputs work simultaneously so you would hear them both......

Thanks a ton, did it tonight and it works great. For the record, I use an Ipod and it sounds great, just watch your volume and your eq settings. FAST

The wire codes are as follows:
1 = Right Channel +
2 = Left Channel +
3 = Common Audio -
4 = Plug sense

So, just to confirm, for the wires from the Radio Shack cord, it looks like it goes:

Red to 1
White to 2
Black to 3

Correct?

Brian;
The RS cord I have uses different colors. Its best to use a volt ohm meter to see what is what. The tip of the 1/8" plug is left +, the center is right +, and the section closest to the plug is common -

I soldered my wires directly to the board & used a 1/8" panel jack (looks exactly like the one in the front). Then installed it in a hole I drilled in the back of the case. Looks like it came that way from the factory!

Sheeeeit!

Sheeeeit!

No, just got the covers off and then went into a state of shock that I haven't recovered from yet. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]  Gotta run up to RS now and see if I wanna use the cord like you did or a jack like Bungy was talking about.

D@mn, may have to get a new soldering iron with a smaller tip and smaller dia. solder, too.  Used to mess around with electronic stuff all the time when I was a kid, but I'm sure it wasn't this miniature then.

Hey, Jim, I got everything soldered up tonight and powered it up to see if it worked . . . . . . it DID! [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Thanks for the post on what was left +, right + and common -.  That really helped since I went with a panel jack on mine.  I still need to mount the jack and re-silicone everthing back up, so I'll take a few shot of what I did while I'm doing that in a few days here.

This is a "must do" mod for anyone running a permanent aux. input, such as the Harley MP3 player like I have.  Really cleans up the look of the dash not to have a wire runnining into the front of the radio! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
