Hook Ups Needed to use My Android Phone in my 2013 Road King CVO
I recently purchased a 2013 Road King CVO from the original owner. This bike came with an ipod to play music. The seller is keeping the ipod, as it has all of his music on it. Well, I have an Android phone and would like it to play music in this bike. I have heard that this is possible. If so, what hook ups do I need? Thanks!

Go to Crutchfield.com and check out what the current technology can offer.
You may be able to get a very small Bluetooth amp to replace what is currently there.
It's the same type of technology as streaming to a Bluetooth speaker, but you get to choose your own speaker.

2013 Harley-DavidsonŽ CVO™ Road KingŽ
High Performance Audio SystemThis is the boom in your bagger and an innovative new dimension in customization—premium sound on a non-fairing bike. A high output, 200 watt amplifier delivers high quality, high output audio from speakers in the fairing lowers in front and the saddlebag lids behind. The controller puts music command at your glove-tips, making it easy to match your tunes to your cruise. And with the iPodŽ connector and included, Harley-DavidsonŽ-branded 8GB iPod Nano you'll always have plenty of boom to move.The above is from the bikes info page.
Usually when HD brands something only the branded electronic device works with bike.
You could try another nano and see if it works. Not sure how that hooks up to your bike tho, what is the connection type?

Just plug it in and plug your music flash drive into that.

Premium Audio System Audio System Overview in the owners manual states:
The Premium Audio System allows the user to listen to iPod and other media players. It provides volume and mute control of all players plus providing other control for iPods, iPhones and other Apple media devices. All controls are via handlebar mounted switches. Devices connected to the digital connector (iPod, iPhone, etc.) will also charge while connected.
So I think the 30 pin connector will work with other apple products.HD Forum Stories

Success! While I was reading the response by cycle7447, my wife walked up with her phone and said "look at this"! She was on Amazon and had a picture of a 3.5 mm male to a USB-C male, that would be perfect to adapt our Moto z4 phones to the Harley! Sure enough. our local Walmart had one in a Monster brand with a 3' cord for $6.48. Hooked it up to the Harley, turned on her phone to Spotify, put the bike on ACC and we have tunes! Only tried the handlebar volume control, didn't try the song skip feature yet, but we have tunes! Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions.
