flhtp controls
If you plan to add the radio with handlebar controls, you will need to create the base audio connector that is part of the civilain interconnect harness and plugs into the back of the radio or buy a civilian interconnect harness and replace the police interconnect harness on the bike.
As a new FLHTPI owner, you will learn to cherish those service manuals and the wiring diagrams they contain if you want handlebar controls of your headunit, cruise control, oil pressure gauge, etc.
I've done what I described above on my '04 FLHTPI from fabbing the base audio connector to later replacing the interconnect harnesses. My suggestion is to just bite the bullet and find a new or used interconnect harness, find the handlebar switches, and avoid hacking/modifying the bike's current police interconnect harness.
Good luck with your project.
PS: There's nothing "cheap" about what you want to do.
