I haved a '97 FLHTC Ultra that I want to exchange the original audio system. Original has radio/CD/Cassette(what is this) I want to replace it with a unit that has a CD player. We tried to use a unit for an '06-'07. Problem is it is way too wide and too tall. Will not fit into the fairling. Also the original unit is hard wired and the new ones use a multi-pin plug. After all thmis, my question is 2 parts. Does anyone know a unit that will match my needs or will the fairing from a newer one fit my bike so I can install the upgraded audio unit. I think with a schematic from Harley we can figure out which wires go where to add the appropriate plug.
Keep it simple and clean. Go to Biketronics.com and order a retro Radio from them. It is plug and play and will give you am/fm/cd/mp3 and bolt right in...
If you want to keep your CB, check the pre-06 HD units for Ultras and check-out the wiring diagrams.
The plug n play featurecan be duplicated by purchasing the necessary HD connector to the newer radio and simply wiring it to include the necessary wires from your current hard wired unit. This will be somewhat tedious, but the parts are readily available and doable with the correct wiring diagrams identifying which wire goes into which slot on the radio socket.
