I have done a bit of research and it appears looking at the wiring harnesses of the kit and the harness that is claimed to be needed on all 14 thru 17 models, as well as looking at the wiring schematics, the added harness is only if you have or want a CB.
If you read through the install directions of the kit, it's pretty funny that when you read down you will get to a section that reads " For All" to route the USB cable to right side cover.... hahaha earlier they tell you to discard that harness

The module comes with a wiring harness that has one gray 16 port connector, one gray 12 port connector, and a USB port.
The additional harness has two black 12 port connectors (one male, one female), one gray 16 port connector, one gray 12 port connector, and also has a USB port.
So yes, if you have a CB you need the extra connections. It's obvious you unplug the CB connectors on the bike, plug each side into one of these and your done with that.
You plug the 16 port gray connector into the WHIM module.
Would someone please tell me where the heck the 12 port one goes?
The manual says:
All: [280A] Accessory Connector, Gray 12-way
and
Connect gray 12-way connector (2) to vehicle [280A].
and even the image just says:
[280B-1] - to vehicle [280A]
I may very well figure it out when I get into the cowling but could someone with the service manual or a picture of the inside of their cowling please tell me where the heck 280A is?
One thing I'm finding amusing is the only reason you have to take the tank off and undo the wiring trough is to run the USB update cable. If they just made it come out the same place the nav update port comes out you wouldn't have to do that.

I've got an SPH10H-FM for my half helmet. Works great.
Wife's got an SMH-10 for her 3/4 helmet. Works just as good.
I've got a 20S for my 3/4 helmet with a Harley helmet clamp, Part Number: 20S-A0203 (clamp) If the 20S dies you can plug into the bike and not need power to keep going.

FWIW, I had a Sena headset already mounted on a helmet, I think its the SMG-10 or -20 or something - since it was already mounted I paired it up with my 18 and it hooked right up, works fine for both phone, voice control, and music. I havent tried to pair it up with any other BT units for bike-to-bike comm since I usually ride solo, but I dont see why it wouldnt work. I might get bored and see about installing the one that came with the bike and see if it does anything the Sena doesnt...
