John, pull out the rubber liner from the cubby ( there is just a little sticky stuff holding it in place) and you’ll see that there is a drain hole in the liner which lines up with a drain hole in the cubby. I used a small round file to open up the drain hole a little bit in the cubby so the phone end of the charger cable fit through it, trimmed the liner drain hole a bit also. Used a 6’ long charger cable, fed the phone end of the cable through the liner and cubby as I put the liner back in, ran the cable across the fairing brace, and up through the trim piece that’s around the bar risers and up to my phone holder. It’s out of the way and no dangling cord. Just wanted to share another option for running the cord.

I mounted my garage door opener to the underside of the cubby lid. Easy to access as I approach I open door without stopping and ride into the garage.

Great tip thanks

Try original Harley felt liners. There about $210. And form fitted for saddlebags and light years better than Kemo motor junk.

Just talked to Mike he is out of them. But to call him back in a week to week and a half to get more. Thanks Mike !!

Nice video keep up the good work Cycle Fanatix

Awesome

Your quad lock head is the chargeable head. Run the cable through the plastics covering the top triple clamp and run the cable under the tank to your battery. You have to modify the battery cover slightly so that it will seat properly “literally trimming 2 pieces of plastic off the cover” and just in front of the battery is some empty space to tuck spare cable and zip tie. Rather than cutting a hole in a major plastic piece of the front fairing. I’ll send you a pic/vid on IG

I don’t know about the 24 bikes but on my 21 RGS I was able to pull the usb cable out of the cubby from inside the fairing cap. I used a rubber grommet the fill the hole. I then connected a long charging cord using some black tape to make sure it doesn’t come apart. I ran the charging cable through the same place all the hand controls go through. Makes for a very clean look and you can still plug in your phone. Sorry if this sounds confusing it’s a lot easier than I could explain it. Hope this helps you out. Keep making these great videos.

If I’m not mistaken and you can get in touch with volunteer audio to verify this, he has a flash device for your factory unit that will clear up the cut back when you start the engine vs having the acc on and there’s a feature when selected will allow your apple car play to work through Bluetooth without a headset. If I understood correctly you order the unit and it is a one time use only and after use you send it back to him. But when it comes to you it has a new license that reconfigures your factory unit so you can control the EQ more and turns the Bluetooth option on for the CarPlay. Hope this makes sense. I sometimes have trouble describing some things when it comes to electronics.

I want to thank you for the video of explaining the rear suspension needed to adjusted because it wasn't from the factory ,I actually ran into the same problem that mine was never adjusted and the top ring was turned all the way up and now I set it like you showed and bike doesn't bottom out anymore thank you .

Why not just buy the quad lock power cable and run it from battery under tank to the qi charger? That’s what I did. It removes cables dangling from cubby and you won’t need to drill a hole.

Update - I ordered the dongle from Torque Customer Cycles on Tuesday, they mailed it on Thursday and i received it today! Installed it and it works great. Im with you and hoping this will fix the glitching issue and stay connected to apple carplay. Thanks John!

Great video. I did a similar hook up from a suggestion from Tom In the Friction zone. Also under the seat.. Definitely a better way to go...

Rather than add a usb port, why not buy the quad lock charging head and run wire back under tank to hook up for power? Taking tank off to run wire is easy.

Good stuff John and my challenge is I use a Cardo. So if I want Apple CarPlay to show on the screen, I can’t listen to music through the Cardo. It has to come through the bike. Actually considered getting the Harley GPS for 350 just for that which makes me sick thinking about it. 😂

@steveokinevil22

I do this on mine by going into spotify and selecting where the music gets routed. This wY you can still use carplay but get spotify in cardo.

where did you get it????

So I did the same thing but connected it to my heated gear plug beneath the seat, with a small ‘Bqttery Tender” 12v to 5v USB converter, and a heated gear to SAE cable converter from Gerbing. I also wired my quad lock wireless charger direct from the battery, under the tank, with an auto shut off, so,it doesn’t drain the battery. Quad lock sells that kit.

I camp a lot at night and do not always have power to charge my phone so for that reason I like having my phone plugged into the USB port charging while I’m riding all day. It works for me

I have the Garage Door Remote with some Velcro on the Cubby Door Right Side....easy to get to when you pull up in front of the Door 👌🇦🇺👌

Yeah man! I've been running Tim's Stereo Carplay Bypass under my seat for a couple of months. Works great! I had emailed you about it, but I probably didn't explain it clearly, but I think eventually everyone will move to a solution like this, as it's the cleanest currently imo. I also had a lot of carplay disconnects, but I typically plug my phone in now and have not had any issues since.

I will thanks

Same thing for me!!! I found out that when my iPhone is plugged in to that port along with the bypass trick (same as you showed) that it would cut out. Work around for me and my 2024 RG was to FIRST make sure my iPhone got connected via Bluetooth THEN plug it in. It only cuts out when CarPlay is running hard lined. But it won’t cut out when via Bluetooth. How do u know which CarPlay is running? When u see in CarPlay the battery icon being charged, you’re running it Bluetooth. When there’s no battery charging icon, you’re hard lined. I’m planning to start my own KZread channel to show it cuz it took me a bit to figure it out and I’m a nerd so I love figuring this stuff out. Found a WHOLE LOT OF OTHER STUFF that’s not on HD site that I’ve been looking to see if anyone has found and zero vids. You’re as close as showing the most with the new bikes.

Inside is that harness is basically the same USB-A Bluetooth adapter you had plugged into the USB-C slot in the cubby. Really just makes it so it’s a set it and forget it thing where you can directly plug your phone into the bike for a wired CarPlay connection but having the comm unit bypass.

CarPlay always drops when I’m connecting with Bluetooth. If you connect to the data cable in the right hand compartment, it never drops.

It’s funny you’re bringing this up now because I have had the same thing happening with me lately on my 23’ RG, I have that plug that Pro Monkey and you used but only recently has Apple car play been intermittent..

So for those saddlebag liners and using the RickRak knobs, the knobs should have come with 4 rubber washers that your supposed to use when you use those knobs with a saddlebag liner. Not sure why but my best guess is so the metal isn’t tearing at the liner and trying to make the liner twist.

Also I used that Saddlemen seat lock bolt on my old sportster and wasn’t a huge fan. I’m getting a Corbin seat for my new 24 CVO RG and found a better lock on RickRak. I saw it in a video on SickBaggers channel a while ago but search Robert Becker Design SEAT-LOX on RickRak’s website.

Tossed both the green and the maehawk units a month ago. They were both unreliable with respect to running CarPlay consistently. I purchased a CarPlay bypass unit from Tim’s Stereo. It plugs in under the seat into any empty unused harness. It’s been 100% reliable.

Does this work on earlier models, pre 2024?

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽💪🏽

I looked back and couldn’t find anything on this. Sorry to ask an unrelated question, however, I was wondering what quad lock mount you’re using?

Have same setup and same issue

After you've connected the phone this way will what happens If you plug your phone in to charge it? Will it try to connect to apple car play?

I have a 24 street glide. I use a Sena SRL3 headset and my CarPlay randomly disconnects then I have to do a dance of powering everything off then on to get my apple CarPlay to connect again. Sometimes it’s quick and other times it won’t reconnect at all for a while

Just curious, why do you need your phone on the bars when you are running CarPlay? Just wanting to know what your thoughts are because I only need to see the phone to see the info that CarPlay shows. I love that I can just plug it in and drop it in the glove box and run my CarPlay using the solution I got from Tim's Stereo Solutions (that I made a video about over a month ago) that plugs into the same jack under the seat. Love the bag organizers though they are really cool! I also use the "filler" bags for tools in the bottom of the bag that Law Abiding Biker did a video on a while ago. Looking forward to the other changes you make. Always ride safe!

Where do I get this

Hey guys, Sorry if this has been answered, but I’m struggling with how to use the mesh intercom on my Sena 50S while the headset is connected to the bike (‘24 RG) as it needs to be to run CarPlay. Is there a way to use CarPlay AND a mesh intercom at the same time?

Hey John, Black Jack is looking awesome! I am wondering, do you have an affiliate link or discount code for Santoro Fabworx stuff?

Hi could you provide a link to the CarPlay adapter please. I couldn’t see it in the comments. Mabybe I missed it.

I can’t understand why H-D does not make this easier. Everyone has to hack their way to make CarPlay functional. My 21 Road Glide Limited is fairly simply to activate CarPlay using the wired factory headset with the iPhone plugged into the USB adapter in the right front fairing pocket. It’s bullet proof. The only downside is that you must use a factory wired headset for it to activate. I’m not a fan of Bluetooth headsets ($400+) over the factory setup. Good luck and thanks for the videos!

Which link are we looking at for the CarPlay solution? I’m a little confused with all of the links you have. Lol.

Dropping connectivity with CarPlay and Android Auto has the same problems. First problem is typically due to a bad sync cable that easily drops data signal. Second is that both CP and AA will drop when handing off from one cell tower to another. Ever drive in the same area on a commute when on a cell phone that always drop calls in the same place? Same concept. Most are getting over the issue with wireless dongles. I use AA with a Motorola wireless adapter and it seems pretty solid. As for the cell tower issue? Not much we can do about that. Sounds like Apple/Google need to tweak their software to be more tolerant of cell signal drops.
