the following is an except of an email from the Harley dealer "After much diagnosis we have found the ipod issue with your bike. On the right side there is a bundle of wire that carries ipod signal from saddlebag, under seat and under tank all the way to the main harness inside your fairing at the radio. Where the harness disappears under seat the harness was incorrectly run at the factory and it was rubbing on the lip of the tire. See pics. Makes sense that the issue came and went when the bike was moving. In the last few hundred miles it has worn through the plastic sheath and whats left is a mess of tangled copper wire" 
The CVO tech should be fired. The good news is thanks to this Forum the bike has a functional IPOD and XM radio

Glad to hear the problem got solved...you see something new every day on these bikes

Delaney,

Glad to read that you now have functioning XM and Ipod on your bike.  Pretty neat that you were able to retain and enjoy the XM after your dealer told you it wouldn't work.

As for the wiring mess, start a thread in the SESG/2/3 forum and include the picture.  It may be something other owners will want to check just in case the same assembler made the same mistake on other bikes, or if they experience symptoms similar to what you experienced.

Happy you got it worked out.  Maybe the Mods could move this thred to Electronics, toys and gadgets section so it could possibly help someone in the future.

Might want to change the pic ... I realize it is not related to your XM unit nor the wiring harness (another member's iPod harness) but casual viwers may think it IS your harness. 

Dunno how the pic that was posted in the thread of the H-D factory screw-up of an iPod harness became your "selling" pic for your XM module/harness..

Just sayin' ... doesn't paint it in the best light - especially since it isn't related!

Done and done.

No separate "CVO tech" as there's no longer any separate CVO assembly area.  Hasn't been for a awhile now.  CVO bikes go down the same assembly line as everything else at York.

Chit happens anyway.
18+ years working on new cars I saw a lot of screw ups. If every line person working that screwed up was fired we all would be walking.
