Okay, so I decided to get an aux input cable so I could use one SiriusXM radio on my truck, my bike and my house.
I ordered it and was told that HD needed to "program" the radio on the bike to "acknowledge" the plug, 1 hour labor charge. So I asked how much to install and program for it, 1 hour labor.
No brainer right? So I ordered the cable, made an appointment to install it. The day came to do the install. Two hours later, they finally got the radio to acknowledge the cord. Since there was no Sirius in the Shop (blocked antenna), I paid for the hour labor and headed home.
Nada getting into the radio fro the Sirius. So, I'm thinking the cord I ran back to the Tour Pak (under the faring, under the tank, under the seat, into the tour pak and to the dock) might be bad. I take the outer faring off, disconnect my cord and put my iPod on the aux cable, Nada. Tried my iPad, Nada, tried an older iPod, Nada.
So I go to HD's website and look at the reviews for this cord. There are two of the four that state the instructions to install this cord are incorrect, but all four say it works as described. So I cut and paste these two wrong instruction reviews into a word file, call the HD shop to talk to them. They made me an appointment to "check it out".
Went yesterday and spent another two and a half hours while they scratched their heads. Finally they call HD Tech support. An hour later, they all agreed that the cord was installed correctly. I was bracing for the "it's just the way it is" reasoning, when I asked them could the new cord purchased from Harley be bad?
So, I am now waiting for a new cord, new appointment and a new excuse.
I'm hoping someone here has installed this cord and maybe has some insight. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
