Does anyone know if the BT amp/speaker upgrade kit should come with the Harley pins that allow you to plug in to the 25 pin Harley connector for the rear speakers?

One of the transformers should have had the female pins instead of the spade connectors. I've sent them an email.

Those transformers are line level convertors. If I remember correctly they should have the same connector your speaker has so the speaker wire can plug up to it if your are using the speaker output from your HU for the amp input, at least for the front speakers. The other side is a RCA that goes to the amp input. Are you doing both front and back speakers because the rear speakers would be different.

Correct, they convert the hi level from the OEM stereo to RCA. I think you have the connection backwards though. You take the high level from the stereo in to the LOC and then RCA to the amp and then high level from amp to speakers.

I am doing both front and back. With the fronts, I was able to unplug the wires from the speakers and plug those in to the input of the loc but cannot do that with the rears. BT instructions have you unpin the 4 wires for the rears from the main radio connector and replace with the the loc wires. They supply the male pins, just not the female.

No worries, I am headed to the dealer to pick up the pins.
