Default Bluetooth Cell Phone Interface installation question

I put the HD Bluetooth cell phone interface in my 2008 Ultra. I purchased the wiring harness adapter.&nbsp\\; I wired the 2 wires into the back of the 35 pin harness at the back of the radio.&nbsp\\; I plugged the interface connector into the harness. Then I plugged the corresponding connectors into the CB radio harness.&nbsp\\; Long story short, i'm not getting the icon on the radio display saying "phone". The directions were really crappy and tough to follow.&nbsp\\; Am I missing anything?&nbsp\\; Are there any other connections that need to be made under the fairing besides the ones previously mentioned?

Maxum,
&nbsp\\;
Did you buy the part from Showsag on Ebay?&nbsp\\; I had the same result on my install, even had the Dealership check my wiring.&nbsp\\; I think he had some bad or incompatable modules. The new bad news is the Bluetooth kit is now an oblsolete part number as of last week.&nbsp\\; I am looking at getting a Zumo 550 or J&amp\\;M's new Bluetooth headset that can be plugged into the intercom also.

Yup, he got me too.&nbsp\\; I emailed him, but have not received a response so far.&nbsp\\; He's already left me my feedback, but I haven't left his yet.&nbsp\\; So if anyone wants it, I've got both wiring harnesses and the antenna for the Bluetooth interface for sale now.
