Not quite sure if all have gotten their answers yet. Bottom Line: If you want to mount
your iPod from the "middle of your seat" forward, the "basic" interface module cable should be enough to reach. If you want to mount your iPod any further rearwards, you'll
probably need the "extension cable" which should be enough to go into either a saddlebag or tour-pack....Hope this helps. BTW: My iPod is mounted on my handlebars...

I just installed my iPod Interface on my 2011 RGU today, wired per the 09/14/2010 revision instructions.....it works flawlessly, and the music quality is much better than when I had the iPod playing through the front AUX port with a mini-jack.
Couple of install notes:
1) On the supplied iPod Y harness, at the end where the bare pin wires emerge from the black protective cover, cut the factory tyrap off and cut back the black protective covering approx. 2", to expose more of the colored wires. This will allow the wires to be integrated into the 35 pin AMP connector much easier, and without undue strain on this supplied iPod Y harness wires.
2) To correctly install the iPod Y harness pins into the 35 pin AMP connector, carefully remove the RED plastic 35-hole alignment block on the face of the AMP connector. This is easily done by carefully prying OUT each of the two very small black clips holding the RED alignment block on each side, while pulling the RED block straight out. This will allow the inserted pins from the iPod harness to click into the primary lock inside the 35 pin AMP connector. When done, carefully click the RED block back onto the AMP connector.
3) Try to route the Y harness wires into the 35 pin connector with some thought as to keeping the wires uniform to reduce strain.
4)It may be confusing as to what they want you to do with the two (1 male / 1 female) 6 pin connectors on the Y harness. You need to search your existing motorcycle harness near the rear of the HK stereo, and find an already mated pair of identical connectors. Disconnect them, and "T" these iPod Y harness 6-pin connectors into the existing motorcycle harness.
5) The single larger connector is self explanitory, it connects to the iPod interface box you mounted on the top of the HK radio.
6) The strange (6 pin) smaller connector that remains after connecting everything is for the NAVIGATION unit that you can buy from HD. This will get capped and stowed if you don't have a Zumo GPS unit. If you do, this connects to the handlebar/dash interface for the Zumo.
7) The actual iPod interface cable that connects to the iPod is self explanitory. It plugs the round end into the iPod interface that you installed on top of the HK unit.

Everything you post is right on. I too have the iPod interface on my 2011 FLTRU and I also have the Navigation interface module. Mine has worked perfectly since I installed it.
I'm starting to see a number of people with problems with their installs. I would venture a guess that most of the problems can be traced right to the 35 pin connector. I took my time and pulled it apart exactly how you described. Once I understood how the connector locked together, it was a fairly easy install.
Take a look at my video link to see where I put the iPod.

I just bought the iPod interface from Zanottis and it is being shipped here to Ireland as I speak.
The reason I want the iPod interface is that I have 8 days music loaded on the little brute and while the Genius playlists are excellent, you cannot change a thing on the go. Basically, whatever you pick at the start of the ride is what you listen to until you stop.
The option of being able to control the iPod from my handlebars is really appealing as we don't have satellite radio in Europe, so your only option is carry your own with you.
I tried burning MP3 cd's but you have to carry a pile of those and you still can't change on the fly. This way, I hope I can carry my entire music collection with me in one tiny unit and chop and change as the mood takes.

Ok what am I missing?? I am trying to install the Ipod interface on a 2010 Street Glide with the standard radio. I have everything hooked up but cannot for the life of me find the other half of the interconnect harness or the audio harness. I found a female six pin plug tucked behind the speedo but not the other side. It was plugged into NOTHING!!! Any help will be appreciated.

'06-later FLHX, FLTR, FLTRX, and FLHTC models and those not equipped with wiring harness P/N 70169-06 require the separate purchase of Connector Kit P/N 69200033.

Skratch yes I have the 69200033 connector with all the correct pin locations. My issue is the instructions say to hook 6A and 6B the appropriate connectors on the bikes wiring harness. I have found one of the six pin connectors but the other is just not there.

bump from a fellow Winston-Salemer.....
I posted the same question on another thread last week but never got an answer. I got mine to play but the vocals weren't right and I was wondering if that had something to do with it. Hopefully someone that knows more than we do will chime in...
