Audio Question on Tourer
Unfortunately my local dealer doesn't have either an Ultra or EG Classic in stock so I can't take a look at these items personally, so I thought I'd post a couple questions here.
1. Is there any difference between the audio system on the Electra Glide Classic and the Electra Glide Ultra? If I'm viewing the information online correctly then the Ultra has the extra speakers (along with cruise control) but the radios are otherwise identical.
2. When I view the dash/control layouts online it appears that the Ultra has a CB and Intercom button on the handlebars while the EGC does not; does the CB and Intercom come standard on the Ultra?
3. Is there an auxilary input for either the EGC or Ultra? I have a Samsung Nexus 50 that receives XM signal (and plays MP3 files) already so I don't think I'll need the XM upgrade from HD; however, I want to make sure it will plug into the audio system.
Thanks to all who reply.

To put it simply:
1. No difference
2. Yes CB/intercom standard on Ultra not included on Classic but can be added for $$$
3. Yes aux input on radios on both models

RE: Audio Question on Tourer
Differences between Ultra and Classic:
tour pak on Ultra has lights in the back of it, Classic does not
Ultra has cruise, CB/Intercom, rear speakers, Classic does not
Ultra has fairing lowers, Classic does not
Ultra has wing air deflectors on bottom of fairing, Classic does not
Ultra has two antennaes (because of CB), Classic does not
All these items can be added to a Classic with some wiring mods. Otherwise the frames are the same and everything else is the same

The Ultra has tool kit, soft luggage, and liner in tour pak. The price of the additional goodies is more than the price diference in bikes.

RE: Audio Question on Tourer
I bought the Ultra in Jan after comparing the the two. The price differance between the two was $1000. To add some of those extras adds up to quite a bit more. It boils down to what do you really want to add above the classic package and what the cost is for those items. I think you will be happier with the Ultra.

RE: Audio Question on Tourer
I got the H-D tool kit w/my Classic. (I think it's standard on UC & EGC.)
Price diff between the UC & Classic when I bought mine was $2000.
I paid $700to havecruise & trunk lights installed, which were the only things the UC had that I wanted. Left $1300 for bling and didn't pay for anything I didn't want.
Hard to go wrong with either bike...
