Ferromet, I copied the wiring diagram for the SESG2 at my dealer the other day and it shows the I-Pod connector to the 35 wire connector for the SESG2 application. Perhaps it will confirm that the wiring on your CVO Ultra is the same, or identify a difference between the two applications:

In any case, thanks for taking the time for the review and installation information.

Kudos to Carl... thanks Man, that worked. So here's the deal, if you have a CVO bike with the Amp installed then the Tan/Blue and Violet/Gray wires need to be swapped... Tan/Blue should go into hole #31, Violet/Gray into hole #19.

Ferromet, glad to help. Two small questions: pin-out 31 calls for TN/BK wire in the SESG2 wiring diagram, but in your reply you refer to a TN/BE (blue) wire; is the wire TN/ BK (black) or TN/BE (blue)? And did the instructions with the interface provide for different wiring locations than shown in the SESG2 wiring diagram?
Also, bikes with the 35-wire connector already on the bike (e.g. Ultras and non-Ultras that have added the non-Ultra overlay harness, p/n 70169-06 for CB, XM and/or HD's rear speaker kit) should be wired the same as the CVO bike with amplifier since the amplifier doesn't use the 35-wire connector--the amp simply takes the speaker outputs from the HK head unit via the speaker connection wires, amplifies them, and sends the amplified signal to speakers--in essence the amp is wired in series to the normal speaker outputs/wiring of a non-CVO Ultra.
As for the SESG2 wiring diagram, I copied it because I was interested in how the amplifier was wired to the HK head unit and the interface wiring was "just there" when I made the copy.

Carl,
There are 5 pins that come out of the new wiring harness that is supplied with the Ipod interface kit... Tan/Red, Tan/Blue, Violet/Gray, Red/Blue & Black/Blue. No more, no less.
First, here's what the instructions that come with the Ipod interface call for:
Pin Cavity 8 = Tan/Red, Pin Cavity 19 = Tan/Blue, Pin Cavity 31 = Violet/Gray... the instructions say that if you have the bluetooth module installed to take the Red/Blue and Black/Blue pins and individually wrap them with electrical tape. It goes on to say that if the bluetooth module is not installed to insert Red/Blue into Pin Cavity 4 and Black/Blue into Pin Cavity 27. I don't have the bluetooth so I did, in fact place these pins per the instructions. It should be noted that each of the pin cavities (8, 19, 31, 4, 27) are available with a dummy in them on my CVO Ultra.
This is what was shown on your sheet and what actually worked:
According to the sheet you provided Pin 8 = Tan/Red (same as instructions), Pin 13 = Yellow/Orange (already there, no change), Pin 14 = Yellow/Violet (already there, no change), Pin 19= Violet/Gray (Different than instructions), Pin 31 = Tan/Blk (there is no tan black)... the instruction sheet was kind of blurry so I assumed that this was calling for Tan/Blue into pin 31 so that is what I did and it worked.
Hope this makes sense.

Here's another solution...send your radio to Iron Cross and have them install a ipod cable to your HD factory radio, the cable also charges your ipod. I paid $90.00 for it when I had my radio repaired by Iron Cross. Works great and you can extend the cable and have your ipod in your saddlebag.

Ferromet I should have posted what I was going through also on this forum. I just did it on the other forum. I did everything you did, what I ended up with was HD solution. They said on my 09 CVO was to reverse 19 to 31 and 31 to 19. My NIM harness wasn't,t working at all once I changed those wires the GPS worked, the iPod harness work with no problems.
