2003 EG Standard Radio?

My buddy is going to look at a 2003 EG Standard tomorrow and he asked me to find out what is needed to put a radio into it.

If he picks up a used HD AM/FM/CD radio on Ebay, is it pretty much plug and play after installing it in the fairing? Will the handlebar controls work? Are all the wires inside the fairing from the factory and just need to be plugged in?

Speakers are no big deal.........I'll give him my stock front speakers from my bike.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve he will need to be careful about what year model he buys if it's used, I also read something in AIM magazine on Biketronics this evening about there radios, might want to look them up.

as long as he gets a hd radio the pre harmon models with the big red square cassette or cd will plug and play, he just needs a antenna, hd radio and speakers, all his controls will work simple plug and play, there are speaker plates that are angled that he should also buy from harley that help direct the sound upwards towards his ears.

I bought a radio Pre-Harman model and found out that the AVC (Auto volume control)was not the same on all models....I contacted Radio sounds(maker of radio) and gave them the radio number and they recommend i disconnect (Cut)wire to avc..... Now i adjust volume manually..No biggie for me.....Good Luck.R.W.

I just installed a Biketronics setup in my standard and it was strictly plug and play. All the wiring is there and the Biketronics interface enables the AVC and all of the handlebar controls. The antenna cable is even there and it ends up bundled under the left side cover. What was great was there was enough cable to allow me to locate the antenna at the bottom of the left fender strut. I used an external antenna as I have read the in fairing antenna isn't so good.
