Question Wrong data link connector?

Hi All,

Just trying to set up my Fuelpak FP3 on 2013 Iron. I flipped the side cover down and pulled out the DLC (data link connector) where I'd plugged the SEPSt in before. But I see i have a 4 pin connector and not a 6 pin that the FP3 is looking for? What's goin on or am I missing something obvious?

Don't they carry different FP3 for different years. PV has a 6 pin and a 4 pin depending on what year you have.

Sadly no. Fp3 is about $450 here and the PV is around $750!

Unhappy that sucks

power vision wins again! 750 is extreme. get a used one. you should be able to return the fp3, or at the very least sell it.
