Yes
The AVC wont work without getting the radio programmed for an analog signal, but everything else will be fine. No wiring issues

this isn't an issue other than the automatic volume control (AVC). The older radios as I understand it use analog signals for that feature whereas the newer radios use a digital signal. If you're not concerned with the AVC, go for it. If you want the AVC to work properly, you'll need to send the new radio to Iron Cross Audio to have them modify it to work with the analog signal.

How about this one....I ride a 2009 Electra Glide Police bike. My department ordered it with teh Harman Kardon CD player....but not the interconnect harness because it was a couple hundred bucks more. I want to buy the connectors and build the harness myself....(17 years master auto mechanic before bein a cop)....but, I can't seem to find the part numbers for the connectors, pins, or the wiring diagrams necessary! Can ANYONE help?
