So after driving myself crazy searching for the answer I will just ask. I have the old ASWC on my bike. It is hard wired in. I am replacing it with the new one as the old one was cutting out last year (I will be re grounding the p/w after reading this thread). Can I use the existing wiring that was wired in according to the above schematic, I dont want to have to figure out all this wiring to reconnect it so I can use the metra plug.

Thanks

Yes I am using the metra. I had it in my old bike and it worked great. When that bike was totaled out I put it on my new bike. It will work when I first turn the bike on but then it will stop working, then it work intermittently while riding but it is such a pita that I stopped trying to use my thumb controls. But my p/w wire is just on one of the fairing mount bolts (road glide) so I think that might be my problem but bought the new metra already so going to use it.

And if not, does anyone have a wiring diagram for hard wiring the new one in. Really wish I would have never cut the wiring!!!

Ok I'm new here looking for some help. Need to replace my factory radio. I have the meta wiring harness, the handle bar controller. On my factory radio it has two plugs on the back a 23pin and a bigger one. My kit came with a connector for the 23 pin but I can't find anything for the other connector. Would seem weird to just leave on connector that size unplugged. What am I missing?
Thanks
