Bluetooth may be Bluetooth but I can guarantee that not all phones will pair up with all systems. Hence my previous question about Sprint and Katana phones. We tried several in our car before finding one that allow the number display etc. to show on the GPS screen. I'm sure the car manufacture wanted it that way since they already used "Verisons phone system" for their "telestar type service."
Harley isn't that advanced yet...thank God. (no airbags ... so no inflation to disable the ignition etc, etc.)

Morning. Just ordered the new kevlar shorty helmet from Harley. I saw one up close and seems to have the straps located in the right place for the harley intercom. I ordered the harness for the bike. They had the module. I can't have a full face or even a 3/4 here in hot muggy SoFla. I will keep this updated if anyone cares.
Can I ask a stupid question after this whole string that I read? Can you locate the Bluetooth mod in the fairing without removing or relocating everything inside the fairing?
Thanks

Excellent helmet. Got one for the wife as well.

If you go to Harley's site and do a search for bluetooth then follow the links on that page they have a link / table of the supported phones and carriers.

Cingular Treo 650 didnt work

Cingular 8525 works great   Cingular Razor worked well as well.

Question: I just ordered the module and was wondering if the passenger will have control over the phone also? With the passenger pluged in does it act like an extention phone where they can talk or just listen to the conversation? TIA

Or has anyone even tried this???

Mine only goes to the rider, not the passenger.

Just got mine installed. I put it in the fairing. Not alot of room. The extra harness was a joke. No one, including Milwaukee could tell me how it went in. It didn't come with any instructions at all.
As far as I can tell the Bluetooth does come over the passenger intercom. It also comes over the speakers unless you turn them off.
Harley says that you should install it in the tour pak but I didn't want to take up the room. It also says to keep your phone in the tour pak. I found the phone needs to be real close to the antenna so I have to get a handle bar mount for my phone. It won't pair from my belt. So far so good.

Has anyone tried Sprints Sanyo Katana? It works really well in my wifes Beemer in fact we each carry one. Now if I new if it would work in the Bike I'd go after the module.

The 700 as igofar indicated, works but not the phonebook.

[Orca]

Rjob,
Yea that seems to right. I just got off the phone with Harley and they gave me the site for compatable phones. My Sprint 700wx will not work. It connects and I can make calls but cannot see the caller ID and the phone book doesn't work. If I toggle to another feature like the XM I lose connection to the phone. What a pain.
I hope that they can come up with a download or something. Let me know if you hear anything or I will have to try to return the bluetooth mod and wire harness.

I actually bought a motorola phone originally and transferred my calss to it.  

But I decided for the most part I wasn't making too many calls on the bike, mostly receiving them.  Sure did make my wife happy that she could talk to me while I was riding to and back from CC last summer.

I wouldn't have a bike without bluetooth again or at a minimum with Twolandrider's helmet setup.

Ok. I just got the BT box from Chicago HD. I'm excited! It looks fairly straight forward but are there any tips or tricks I should know about before starting this project? I want to locate it in the fairing. Will I need the "Overlay Harness" ? P/N 70164-06? What is it and why do I need it? TIA, AJ

I'm quoting myself here but...

I spoke to Gene over the weekend and he confirmed that I do need 70164-06. He also gave me some advice on tips. I'll post pix & details when I install.

AJ, when you do this would you post a pic that shows the overlay harness in some detail.  I know a guy here who is considering adding this to his Glide.  His tour pak has been made to be detachable and he runs with it off a lot so the module would go inside the fairing for him too. 

I just want to see each end of this interconnecting harness and how much harness is actually there.  If it's just a pass through harness with male and females of the same connector it might even not be necessary (I know, not likely, but a guy can have a good thought).  Even were that not the case I'd like to see if there's anything that would keep it from being able to suffer a few feet of resection so a much shorter and smaller piece could end up being used inside the fairing.

Thanks!

2LN that is exactly what Gene said. Apparently the connector is under the seat which does not necessarily need to be used if mounting in the fairing. I will post the pix of the 'overlay harness' when it comes in as well as installation.

Thanks AJ, appreciate it a lot.  That big harness would (I assume) have to go under the tank and under the seat if one were to stick this gadget in the tour pak.  In the fairing and you won't have to pull the tank.  That in itself makes it worthwhile to consider the alternative mounting.  But then just want to see what can or can't be done about the big assed harness.  Easiest, simplest and cheapest it can be installed the better it will be.

Ok 2ln, here are the pix of the bluetooth during instalation.

This is the overlay harness pluged in. There is one plug that is not used on both ends of this harness. One side is a four pin the other is eight pin. They are NOT used.
