Thanks DFragn and Kingbee.
I saw your set up DFragn when I ran into you at Des Plains Honda last year, you were with Kingbee. I was picking up my I/S then.
I liked it.
I'll check with Pinwall and if that fails, I'll find a Sony or Blaupunkt car system and make it go. I'm not real concerned with the display on controls, just the occasional local stations or my iPod for the long trips.
Thanks, stay warm...spring is right around the corner.


Hey Mark. Didn't know that was you [Rider89]. Have ya been enjoying the 'State?

Another thought, you probably all ready have tho', would be to exercise & inspect all the stereo connections. That might bring it back to life for ya.

Rider89:
Yup, that was me.
FL is pretty slow by Chicago standards, but I'm settling in. I get back up to Illinois about twice a month so I've have my moments of winter.
I'll go pin by pin tonight before I jump in option 1 or 2.
I really dont want to shell out $400 (price for a used radio at Pinwall).
Stay tuned.  :cooldude:

Kingbee:
You might want to exercise the switches, or even disassemble them to clean & lube

Kingbee:
I put mine in the saddlebag on my Tourer.  Wiring is just like a car, & you can use the fairing speakers. 



You can then use a Sony Marine remote, for control. It's below the speedo in the PIC. To the right of that is my XM/radio/MP3 player.



I suggest you splice all the wires so you can remove the saddlebag. My stereo splice is the white connector on the right.  It is a PC power supply extension cord with 20 pins, and worked out well. (Thank you, Bigf)  I cut the cord in half, producing a male & female connector which I then spliced into the stereo wiring.




Regarding your original problem, there'[s a connector in the fairing, and another under the right sidecover.  I suggest you exercise those connectors, it may very well solve your problem.

Let us know how it works out.

Rider89:
Nice pics Walt, thanks.
I've checked the 9 pin black connectors under both side panels and the blue 20 pin and 18 pin green connectors, am I overlooking connectors?
I'll pull the radio and elimnate connectors. I've already accounted for the CB power, passenger talk and rear speaker connectors.
