Tour Pack audio question
I just finished the install of the Tour Pack on my 06 FLTR. I used the HD wiring harnesses and everything hooked up without a hitch. But....a question since I don't have an owners manual
The passenger mode/channel selector works great. But the speaker volume doesn't work. And when I turn the nacelle switch off it turns off ALL of the speakers. Does this sound right? I haven't wired and don't plan to wire headsets. The rear speakers do work. Someone mentioned having the radio re-flashed in order for the rear volume to work. Is that right??
I'm waiting to hear a verdict on this before I button up the fairing. Thanks Folks

both functions are normal. Think about it.
You don't want your passenger turning the radio up and down while you're concentrating on the road.
The switch on the nacelle is supposed to do just what it's doing.
Forward position is speaker on position
Middle position is speaker and headset position
Rear position turns speakers off and leaves headsets on

Thanks for the reply! I guess I'm good to go and will start buttoning everything up and go for a ride.
Turning the volume up and down wouldn't be as bad as changing the source. The OL and I have different music tastes. I'm
and she's

i agree.. my OL is too and absolutely drives me crazy when a good Rush song comes on and she switches it to Michael Jackson.. yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.. MJ shouldn't be on there to begin with but someone has to keep her happy and I'd rather it be me! But the good thing is she can't turn the volume up and embarrass me cruising down the road listening to Black or White!

With the H/K radio, all volumes are controlled individually (IE.. CB, Intercom, Headset, speakers) from the radio settings.
If you added the rear speakers (Not an Ultra radio), the Fader control must be activated at the dealer.
The Passenger Headset volume is controlled from the passenger control, not from the Fader controls.

yep... not too often you'll find Cyndi and I with headsets on but at that point I really don't care if she's sitting back there jamming her little heart out as long as it's not distracting me. Besides, when she does that she usually attracts the attention of other smokin hot ladies... I'm ALL over that!

This is taken right from the Owner's Manual.
- Off/Forward is Speakers are off. All Audio is played in Headset.
- Center is Radio, CD, AUX played over speakers while CB over headset.
- On/Rearward is Speakers and Speaker lite is On. Radio, CD, Aux, and CB are heard through Speakers.
- Intercom is heard in Headset regardless of switch position.
