Default Speaker Switch on Road Glide

Anyone have an idea why the speaker switch is on the Road glide. I have the electrical diagnostic manual, it shows headset A, headset B, Assy enable, and I think Gd going to the switch. I have heard that this is for a tour pak if installed. All I want to do is to get audio out from the radio to input to my Nady bike to bike comm. Radio doesn't have audio out so I thought maybe I could get it from connector 27A on the radio, pins 13 and 21. Anyone have ideas.??????

Its there so you can add a Tour Pac with rear speakers if you want. You also have an aux. switch for other applications.

Take the time to read your owners manual, the "speaker" switch on the inner fairring cap is for switching audio sources between the speakers and the helmet headsets.

"Headset A"All the way forward (no light) Everything through the headsets (Radio, CB, Intercom)
"Headset B"Middle (light on) Radio through speakers,CB and Intercom through headsets
"Assy Enable"All the way back (light on) Radio andCB through speakers, Intercom through headsets.
GND is for the ground wire for the little ight in switch

Your Intercom Audio will only work through the headset speakers to maintain privacy.

Speaker Fading (front to rear) is done through the softkeys on the radio, or by using the left volume switch on the handlebar. (Push in till it goes to fading screen on radio, then up or down to move the audio front to rear.)

To the original question of the thread.
The "Speaker" switch on the fairing cap does not have audio signals attached to it, it is connected to the radio control circuits (follow the wires back through the wires from the switch, then through the "interconnect harness" and you will seee they only go to the radio and not the speakers)

To enable the rear speakers when installing a tourpak and then installing rear speaker PODs, you will have to have the Dealerturn them on through the radio by flash downloading the ECM. (The Ultra is the ONLY model that comes with the rear speakers, factory enabled. in the HK Radio)

So tapping on to any of the wires there will not get done what you want.

Thank for a good detailed answer. I have bought my interconnect cable, now I will need the dealer flash.
