So I called the dealer and asked what it would cost to enable the intercom on my roadglide. The Stereo has the intercom button, I have the switch control on my left handle bar. The harley website lists the flash program for the stereo at something like $88 and another $125 or so for the console plug on the gas tank.
They quoted me $1400 and told me I'd also have to buy the rear speakers and luggage box for another $1500 or so.
Frankly, I don't believe it. There's got to be an easier way.

It is expensive, but I did all the work myself and saved big $$$s. You can go with Autocom, which makes a good system. I have used autocom on all my other bikes. I just wanted to be able to use all of the factory buttons for my CB and intercom, so I went with the factory set up. Hope this helps.
I'd like to know also, I have a EG Classic that I added the XM radio which required the Ultra harness so I assume everything would be there except the plug and rear switch. I also added the rear speakers with the Hog Tunes setup.
I guess I don't understand why you'd need the tour pack and rear speakers. Isn't there a way you could just tuck away the end of the harness under the seat somewhere and leave the plug for the intercom dangling out?
The intercom doesn't use the speakers and the rear volume control and switches don't effect the intercom.
