Default Acc switch

I have an 08 Street Glide. I was wanting to connect my XM radio to the acc switch so it can be turned on/off via the switch. However, I don't have a clue where to locate the wires going to the switch in order to make the connection. Where can I find them? Any input would be appreciated..

Yeah, I saw that in the manual also, but can't seem to locate the wire!

Mine was tucked up in front of the battery. I almost missed it. It should be coming out of the main harness, with a big plastic plug on it. Good luck. I'll see if I can find a pic...

you don't have to go that far back if you don't want to. pull the outer fairing off and you'll see (looking at the fairing from the front) bottom left of the radio are the 3 wires coming off the acc switch. Black - ground, orange/red to ignition, orange is the switched output. tie into the orange wire there.
