Default 2015 Tri glides & the RZ seat connection

Today I finally got my new 15 delivered. Getting right to it I started doing the change over with the parts I kept from the 14. To my surprise some of the parts do not fit this model year. The sheepskin cover for the passenger backrest is too small for this trike.
The windshield I bought from LRS Memorial weekend sale does not fit the new glide.


When I put on the Road Zeppelin seat I couldn't find the connector. I did find a small 2 female prong red connector just in front of the battery. That was the only unused plug I saw. Even that one is not the same configuration of the seat plug.
For those of you that have this setup what plug are you using for the seat?

Did you get the extension wire for the seat? Mine connected under the left side over on our 14 TG

No I didn't get the extension as I didn't know there was one. The cord under the seat is pretty long, I read a post by postal worker that said the plug was under the left side cover. One plug will be used by the FP3 tuner Not sure which one that is and which one will be used for the seat,
I have the manuals and will have to sit down with them to find out.


If I can find the fp3 for less than $400 I am buying it instead of getting another license for the PV1

As Casper said, the auxiliary connection is under the left side panel. You will need the extension and also move the connection behind the fuse panel to make it a little longer.

This is my confusion. The seat plug is a female 4 prong. All I can find is either a 2 female prong or a 6 male prong on the bike. The connector beneath the data port under the side cover is the 6 prong.
Does this extension connect to the 6 prong and then to the seat 4 prong?

The dealer just called me back. They are the ones that told me there was a connection under the seat for the RZ seat. Now that I pressed them and they have actually looked at a trike under the seat they tell me what you guys already knew, I needed a connection extension that bridges the 2 different plugs. $25 for the cord Way to go HD.
