Once again, you took one for the team! Thank you very much! It's snowing here as well, so I spent my Sunday making new Rattlekillers🤣
Well as normal for Colorado this afternoon it’s sunny and 60 and I got out for a ride, enjoying my RattleKiller!!
Thank you for everything please keep on going!
As long as these videos are helpful to someone I will continue to try, appreciate your support!
This is another example of HD going backwards with the 24 model.
My 19 RGS has the USB-A connector in the right hand cubby hole, this is where I plug my memory stick with all my music. Under the right hand cubby hole is a cigarette lighter power outlet, normally I have a 2 port USB-A adapter there where I can charge actually 2 phones with keeping them dry in my right cubby hole, or take the USB adapter out and plug my tire pump in.
Im guessing when I get a 24 later this year Im gonna have to get my drill out and mount a permanent output socket somewhere.
I think a good option is to run the battery tender from the heated gear to the front under the tank. This would give you a powered USBA a port up front that you could split into more than one port. Since you have a full 12V to work with it will easily split into multiple ports. As far as mounting I really thing a handlebar mount USB splitter would work well. The other option is to find 12V in the fairing, like from the AMP. Harley could easily have Rockford Fosgate give us powered usb port off the amp into the left cubby on a RG or 2 ports in the SG tray!
Tom, the Gerbing 12V SAE to male adapter cable is still available on Amazon. I know you watched my video on Facebook, and that's where I got the adapter. I just checked, and it's still available.
Jim! I do believe you are the original poster, sorry I could not find it to reference in this video. Kudos to you. If you want to give me your video link I can note it in the description. I had no luck finding the Gerbing adapter on Amazon but yes it is there, also updated in the description. Appreciate you!
@@ITFZone No worries Tom! I don't need my video linked. I just wanted to let you know that the Gerbing adapter I used was still available on Amazon. I appreciate you and love watching your videos! Keep them coming!
I was thinking of installing a charging port in the other fairing pocket. I also installed charging port in one of my saddle bags and one in the tour pack in my street glide. But they were not switched power. Good for charging action camera battery’s .
Great videos!
Yes, especially if you do not need both heated gear connectors we have a good 12v switched option here. I know the PanAmerica crowd has been using this option with their bikes for power sources.
Thanks for the great info. It's exactly what I was looking for.
Excellent! I take no credit for the idea but happy to share the information!
Thanks for doing the hard work for us. Appreciate your content.
You are most welcome! It is work sometimes but I have enjoyed the support from the community so happy to do it!
Outstanding!!!
Appreciate your support! Thank you!
You have the best explanation and instruction videos! Thanks for that!
You are most welcome, appreciate your support!
Great info and I appreciate how thorough you were to even show what to watch out for! Thank you, I ordered both using your links.
Awesome! Appreciate your support! I try but I am always surprised by what additional information comes from this great community!
great info thanks
You are most welcome, appreciate your support!
Still snowing in Switzerland as well ;) thanks a lot for the tutorial!
Most welcome! The snow has to end at some point soon!
Well done, well said, appreciate all the spoken opinions, thanks
You are most welcome! Appreciate your support of the channel!
Hi Tom. I think I enjoyed this video most of all your videos. Very good information here. Hope it warms up soon for you. Stuart
Indeed, there is hope for spring!
Hi Tom, I hope all is well and the snow is gone.
I received the Battery Tender USB Charger and Gerbing 12V Male to SAE cordset today.
I wanted that is all I need to bring my MaedHawk device to the gear port under the seat. I don't want to fry my MaedHawk and I believe you commented that no additional hardware/polarity changing device is needed.
Thank you!
The Gerbing adapter has the correct polarity. The Amazon ones need the polarity changers!
@@ITFZone thank you.
THANK YOU!!!! Excellent content you are providing. Please keep up the good work. I thought I'd throw in my 2¢ about cutting the cable off of the MAEDHawk Headset Adapter. I'm probably in the minority here (with everyone using wireless connectivity these days) but I wanted to use my WIRED earbuds to just listen to music. But of course there isn't anywhere to plug in a standard 3.5 (1/8") stereo connector. So I used the cable on the MAEDHawk with a 3.5 female to female turnaround adaptor and BINGO!! You now have a place to connect a WIRED headset.
DISCLAIMER... (and as you have also said) I AM NOT ENDORSING BEING ATTACHED TO THE MOTORCYCLE FOR SAFTEY REASONS. But this works for me. (And the fact of the matter is... how is it any different then having your heated gear (jackets, gloves, etc...) connected to the accessory ports that Harley Davidson already provides?)
WOW! Truly great idea! Not something I thought of at all! I know I tried a USBC to earbuds but of course it wants a wireless headset to allow CarPlay. GREAT IDEA, you are not the only wired earbud fan!
Ah! You beat me to it. I am working on a similar video, albeit in more detail, which adds a USB-A and C connector to the saddlebag of the 2023 CVO via the saddlebag connector.
🙂 It's also snowing here in Switzerland at the moment, after a week of temps in the 25C (77F) range.
Hello! Plenty of room for more videos on the topic! This solution works well. We may hit 70 today but rain snow mix in the forecast for this upcoming weekend as usual!
Wow...that's a lot of work for an extra USB. Maybe HD can put another connector on the left side cubby??? Thanks for the work....great video!
I agree but I doubt they will. It's really not too difficult and works well for this option. BUT Harley needs to offer a connecting port for the tender and yes a second power source!
Another option is the quad lock w/charger. I powered mine through the heated gear ports under the seat, then use a splitter so there are still 2 ports for gear if I choose.
Yes I have seen this, runs directly to the battery and has the vibration dampener. My hope is to not give in to mounting my phone on the handlebar but will see.
@@ITFZone I was torn between Road Glide or Street Glide until the dealer showed me the 10X8 tray with USB… I bought the SG.
@@philipdarnall787 The tray is way cool for sure! I think both bikes are really much the same but the debate will continue forever!
Thank you once again Tom for the very useful information.
I had an interesting situation yesterday, I wanted to play my Car Play to create a brief video to show my Stage 2 Faring Speakers and Stage 3 Saddlebag speakers capabilities, but as soon as I hit the Record button on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, the Car Play stopped playing music. Thoughts?
I did order the Battery Tender Quick Disconnect using your link. I'm putting on a new seat and I didn't want to wait for the Gerber cable.
So a viewer did find the Gerbing on Amazon, no idea why it did not come up for me, BUT either will work: amzn.to/49HkLY8
I suspect you cannot record while streaming music. Not something I have tried but I suspect this is your issue. You would have to use another iPhone or camera. Apple tends to turn off streaming for audio or video when recording, copyright stuff!
You seem to be the only person that gives a 'D about researching what any P.O.'d '24 owner really wants to know, (To use their $30K bike in they way they (paid for, and) should be able to) that they just can't google, or ask HD expecting an Honest, sincere answer. Obviously HD isn't the company that sold bikes to hard working blue collar people (honestly) that they used to be. If I pay for a giant screen, you should let me use it how "I" see fit, since I paid the price for the Tech (not being told that, you can't use your $500 a month bike the same way you can, Any New Car, that cost's 1/2 as much!). Cheers to you! They already make profit for that display and cheap speakers, why rip customers off and expect them to keep coming back, or recommending their product. They could sell that bike without a radio but with the cut outs like all cars did back in the 50's 60's 70's 80's.
Hey! I feel you! This a giant leap for Harley into technology which may of us were hoping for but are they ready to support it? I am happy to help as much of these advancements are what we have been looking for!
That seems a little short-sighted on your part blaming Harley for knowing exactly what YOU want. Meanwhile there are a ton of other riders who can't stand the tech complaining that there's too much tech. So why are you right and all those others are wrong? Maybe the company is trying to strike a happy medium.
@@nickpapagiorgio8038 I think with this bike Harley dove into the tech on the deep end of the pool but also into the complexity of supporting it. I am just helping riders with the bugs and with solutions to what they are trying to accomplish. The hope is Harley will pay attention and adapt. I can appreciate what Harley is up against but frankly they asked for it with this bikes technology. I think the hope is the execution would have been better.
your videos are the best. do you have a link for the tender extender ?
Awesome! Link: amzn.to/3JUPI0z
Thank you and always appreciate your videos. I have a question about the saddle bags locking/unlocking. My bags will unlock but won’t lock. Any suggestions or have you come across this issue. Thanks in advance
Most of the time its the keyfob. My 18 would do this to me and I had to reseat the fob battery to get it working. I would try your backup or the bike function menu and see. Otherwise I suspect the locking relay under the right side cover. I have a video in the works on this topic should be out this coming weekend.
@@ITFZone thanks and I look forward to your video. It’s a 2023 CVO streetglide that I own. I tried using the bike menu and it’s still not working. I am assuming it would be the relay
Hi Micheal from Australia can you tell me why the 2024 cvo street glide while using the spotify plays for about 10 minutes the the sound stops but the songs keep going thanks Micheal
Hello! Is this consistent, every time you start Spotify it times out after 10min? How about any other music source? I would want to understand if the AMP has powered off the speakers and there is no sound at all, no hissing sound indicating the speakers as powered. If the speakers are on and the screen continues to update the song playing I would be looking at a buffering issue between the phone and the bike. Basic option to try would be to delete the phone from the bike and re-add it. I would delete the bike in CarPlay on your phone as well. Easier to troubleshoot in email: ITFZoneEmail@gmail.com
On the pre 24 bikes you can just use the cigarette lighter to add usb charging ports. My question is how to add a 2nd data port?
You can split the port BUT there is not enough amperage on the port to truly split into 2 data cables. See my video on the BCLink adapter.
Thank you for doing the research and testing. So far, I bought a Camecho A3361 AI Box and it seems to be working. I can't figure out how to run the AI Box from the bike's USB c port, with my Samsung smartphone in the same drawer, and keep the phone charged. Did I miss it in your video? If not, any thoughts?
Your Camecho has a passthrough USB A port. Connect your phone with a USB A to C cable and it should get some charge out of this port.
I don't think you can use that adaptor to your tender cord for charging since that cord is inactive while the bike is running.
Could you have just suggested the right wires minus the ones that didn’t work well to save time?
Well, I thought of this but I know many have tried different Amazon options and I wanted to include the why they don't work. BUT yes I thought about it.
👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Appreciate your support!

Appreciate your support!
Does the battery tender wire stays hot once you turn the ignition on
Yes, it goes directly to the battery terminals
I agree with @quitetime6871 BUT on the '23.5's the bike does not charge when the ignition is on, so I think your question is will it provide power out with the ignition on and I must say I didn't test this! But I will later today and update this post! Good catch!
Answer, it does not for a '23.5! I would bet it does on a'24. But as @quiettime6871 pointed out using the tender lead on either model will drain the battery with the ignition off.
That's exactly what I did to be able to play music on my USB stick and charge my phone.
Yes the idea of using a thumb drive for stored music is brilliant!
I've been doing this for years!
