USB Flash Drive music for HK Radio
Hey everyone! I just became a new owner of a 2013 Street Glide, Midnight Pearl. Came with HK radio with Aux 3.5mm input. Is it possible to use a USB to 3.5 mm adapter and plug into Aux input to play my music off the the flash drive? I hate FM radio. Don't listen to AM. CDs are a pain.
Any suggestions? |

As mentioned, you will need some type of music "player".
A USB stick by itself only stores music, and the head unit in the '13 touring bikes will not play music directly from a memory stick. An iPod or other mp3 player will plug into the AUX jack and you can then send output to your head unit to listen on the bikes speakers. |
I've used an iPod into the auxiliary plug, and it works great...my new to me 2011 FLHX has the iPod interface already installed, and I'm gonna buy the cable kit/tether to clean things up a bit, and enable me to use the handlebar switches.

I put this on my 13 EG so I could use my phone for music and gps. I think I found it for around $135. It's not the cheapest solution but I like using the handlebar controls and not having the cable. It shows up on your radio as BT along with am/fm/cd/wb. |
Bought this for my wife (2011 Street Glide) on a recommendation from a guy I work with. She can bluetooth her phone or iPod. Oh.. and it is only $16 |

Thanks for all the feedback. Appreciate it!

I have a cable that plugs into my phone headphone jack and into my Harmon Kardon jack and lets me play music that I have stored on my phone and listen to Pandora through my phone.
