Is it possible to fit a HK Radio into a 2004 FLHT?
Friend of mine is looking at installing a Harmon Kardon radio off a 2012 bike into his 2004 FLHT... which seems to have a different connector (Radio-Sound radio?)
Is there an adaptor harness out there?

it's a plug and play deal.. there are 2 differences
1. as stated above CB is internal on the older Radio Sounds units and external on the newer HK units so CB funtion will be lost. There is a way to get the newer CB module to work with the older wiring but don't know specifically how to do so myself.
2. speed sensor for AVC on the Radio Sounds units are analog, speed sensor for AVC on newer HK units is digital. This can be changed on the HK in the diags of the radio.

The CVO has two harnesses. The black one is the normal 23 pin connector, the gray one is a 23 pin connector for the amplifier and speakers. You will use the black 23 pin connector and untape the speaker wires taped to the harness of the gray connector. You will need to install 2 ohm speakers, as the factory ones are 8 ohm.
