According to the owners manual, ALL 103's come with ACR

my 07 police 103 has stock working ACR

so, since 07 there has been wiring for the ACR, perhaps only police bike wiring had the necessary wiring

Went to the dealer yesterday, they told me since my ECM never had ACR,s programed in it that it won't work wiring it up like a stock bike, I'm going to hook up the wires from the ACR's to the green wire on the starter hopefully that will make the ACR's work

Should you be able to hear the ACR's open when you take the wires and touch the battery? The wiring harness kit number 70623-08 , there is 2 Y/GN wires and 1 V/GY wires the Y/GN go to the fuse block the V/GY go to the ECM plug

i installed a 110 in an 07. 110 had acr, you are right taking the wiring apart and putting it back together is a pain. having to pull the wires etc all takes time.

once i did this, i tried to start bike and you guessed no acr. rode bike to dealer, told them what i did. they took bike hooked it up to their digital technician and enabled acrs.

once they did that the acrs worked. acrs can be enabled on an 07. it just takes a knowledgeable dealer and tech.
i know from experience
