Well I'm throwing parts at this a little at a time. Just ordered the NIM which sure seems weird to have to do in order to fix a problem that should have been already corrected. Oh well, it'll give me something to do on vacation next year. Still debating on the aux fix just from a warranty concern but sounds like a good fix.

Well I took the plunge today and installed the aux jack on the rear of the radio and the Nim fw:a2  on my 2012 Tri Glide

So far I am happy with the mods, they seem to work, I tried the drive to destination and replayed it multiple time, I did not hear any drops in the first part of the voice or hang  ons of the voice, had GPS set to Max volumes on all modes. I went out about 15 miles and selected Home as my destination, and it worked flawlessly for me, I tried the HDBOOM when I first installed it three weeks ago and it works fantasticly  Thanks Jim, if you noticed I removed the inductor rather than cut the trace or remove switch connection on back of jack. I heated up one end of it and picked it up with a dental pick, the heat from the iron was enough to unsolder both ends, very neat, also checked to  make sure there was no solder bridges on foil once the inductor was removed. It was simple for me once I deceided to work under the fairing on my 900 km 4 week old TriGlide....now to figure out the phone to work without it going thru the aux...Ron VE3MX

Instead of cutting the trace, which may get you into trouble if you cut to deep remove the component marked by the yellow circle instead of cuting the trace in the Red circle. Iron Cross Audio will repair your radio if you cut do deep while cutting the trace. Heat one end up with your soldering iron while you pull it with a pair of needle nose pliers or use a small screw driver and pry it up and away when the solder melts, or a dental stick if you happen to have one. Once one side is loose heat the other side and remove it.
