WHIM install instructions for a 2019 Electra Glide
 
I have Googled until I am blue in the face but I can not find instructions for installing a WHIM in a 2019 Boom GTS. I can find the instructions for 2017 models and down which require the extra $50 harness. According to what I have found is, I do not need the extra harness P/N 69201726 for 2018-2019 bikes. All I need is the WHIM P/N 76000768 and the harness that comes with it.
I assume it will be a simple install since one end of the main harness plugs into the WHIM, but my question is where does the other end plug up? I'm assuming there is an extra empty plug behind the fairing?
I'd like to know before I take the front fairing off the bike.
And of course, I'll have to run the micro USB cable to a discreet location that is accessible but that isn't a problem.
Dealer want's $100 to install the WHIM. I can wrench, since that's what I did for a living all my life so why pay them $100 to do something that I can do in my spare time. I know that the dealer has to flash it to work but I'm going in for the 1000 mile service in a week or so. I figure they can flash it then. After the first service, I'll be doing most if not all of my service.

Thanks, I do not have the CB radio or the XM module nor do I plan to remove the tank. I plan to route the micro USB to somewhere in the front. So the install should be easy with the hardest part removing and reinstalling the fairing.

The hardest part of the whole thing is deciding on a headset to get. If you don't have one yet, wait until the 2019 P&A catalog refresh sometime this month to see if Harley comes out with a better headset than the 20S EVO, which is years old and doesn't do Mesh comms. Any other brand headset paired to the WHiM will only result in monaural audio to the headset.

I have both the Men's Boom Audio Half Helmet and the Boom Audio Expand Half Helmet Headset for the wife. Both should work well with the WHIM in stereo. I assume?

You don't need the extra wiring harness and I suggest you run the micro USB cord to the right front speaker under the cover. Much easier than taking tank off to run wire.

Yes, they should work fine.

You will still need to flash the system at the dealer by a technician

To answer your question, there is an unused plug on top of the radio. You plug the WHIM cable into that.

There are actually 2 plugs there, a black and a grey one. You want the grey one.

I ran my USB cable down to the bottom of the inner fairing and zip tied to some wiring harness down there. Easy to get to, but out of the way and barely noticeable. Just coil all the excess up and tie it up inside the fairing

The black one is for the CB module or the 3.5mm Aux input harness, or both.
