Connecting Radio to Accessory connector

Hi ALL,

I'm a newbie here but have been reading thru the forums for quite some time getting helpful advice. Unfortunately I have not been able to find the answer to my specific issue, hence this post.

I have a Road Radio that I want to hook up to my 05 Road King accessory connector. The radio is a Sony CDX-GT260MP that has a black (ground), yellow (continuous power supply) and red (switched power supply) wires. On the 4 port accessory connector I obviously know where the ground connects, just not sure of the other 2 wires. Any advice??

Thanks in advance!

I am not familiar with the accessory connection on a on a Road King. I think that they are switched power leads. You will have to run the continuous power to the battery directly. If that wire does not have a fuse, You may want to add one. The other you could run to the accesory wire. That would allow the radio to turn off when the bike was shut down.
