I just installed a V&H FP3 on my 2012 StreetGlide. Went fairly smooth, Flashed the correct map and went for a ride.
After the first ride I get message on my radio screen ever time I turn it on. It says "Diagnostic Active Keyboard Disabled". I've found that if I turn it off, then back on, the message flashes then the radio performs as normal then I shut the bike off for a lunch break, turn it on the screen shows the "Diagnostic Active Keyboard Disabled" again, but this time it stays on. No use of radio, CD, Aux.
Googled and found another forum that says it's normal and to remove the FP3, but I've never experienced it or read on these forums that ever happening. I'd call V&H on Monday and ask them.
Just got off the phone with a V&H support tech and he claims I have to leave the FP3 unhooked to the data link. Apparently the Harmon Kardon units can't work with a plugged in FP3. Well that's a crock of crap. So if and when I want to auto tune, I have to connect it back up and ride with no use of the HK? How un-American. The tunes cranked up is how I want to auto tune.
However, if BigSky's method will make the two get along then I will try it......or is that only for the newer touring bikes with the Touch Screen?

You can't connect to the FP3 with the APP to do an auto-tune and play music from your phone at the same time. This requires 2 concurrent bluetooth connections to your phone and it's a no go.
You can leave the FP3 connected under your side panel at all times and as long as you aren't connected through the app, you can play music from your phone all day.
If you're auto-tuning or watching sensors on your phone, you can still play music from a USB stick, the radio or satellite while you do so through your head unit.

this is also correct, cant run two blue tooth connections. mostly rushmore bike concerns as older model do not have Bluetooth installed as a factory option

This depends on your phone. I'm running a Galaxy S6 - it uses the Bluetooth media connection to hook to the BT receiver plugged into my saddlebag iPod dock, but that doesn't impact it's non media connection to the FP3.
I routinely run auto tune or gauge monitoring via the FP3 connection while streaming Pandora to the BT receiver, which plays over the HK radio.
