need help to conect rear speakers to harley HK radio
hello all, A friend of mine has an electra standar, he bought HK stock radio with cd player and batwing speakers. Everything works fine. Now He has a tourpack and rear speaker with HD conection cables for the speakers, We are trying to conect the rear sepakers but there are not any conection ports free on the radio, all of them are used, the only free port is for the GPS and we have 2 rear speakers a bunch of cables and no idea of how to conect them! there are not nay plugs free on the batwing either.
Can anybody please help me to conect the rear speakers? do I need to buy any extra cables or a extra power amp? this is drivin me crazy.
Thank you very much for your help!

What Mike said, you probably need a different overlay harness for the radio. The basic harness with the radio only has the 2 connections. Depending on what other audio accessories you want to add (cb, intercom ect) depends on the harness you need). You will also have to have the dealer flash the system so the fader works. The speakers will work once you plug them into the correct harness, but the fade function will not without the flash to the computer. One dealer wanted to charge me $50 for the flash, had another one do it for free when I had it in for service. Actually told the service writer that the fader wasn't working and she had the tech flash it for me.

thank you all for your help. I told him not to buy hd radio..we wanted the hd radio so now we will have to spend some extra dollars in a bunch of cables and the flash... With a regular radio everything its so easy...
