1. Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving.

2. Check clearances on both sides of a planned installation before drilling any holes or

installing any screws.

3. When routing RCA cables, keep them away from power cables and speaker wires.

A common source of noise in the audio system is the motorcycle ignition system. This is usually

due to the radio being located close to the ignition system (engine). This type of noise is detect-

able by a varying pitch with the speed of the engine.

Ignition noise can be removed using a high voltage radio suppression type ignition wire and a

suppressor resistor. Your motorcycle may already use this wire and resistor but it may be neces-

sary to check them to ensure they are operating correctly. Alternatively, a noise suppressor could

be installed.

1.4. Mounting Precautions

Please observe the following precautions:

1.5 Installing the Media Player if no stereo is already installed

Use the existing Harley-Davidson® factory side mounting brackets and hardware to mount the

Media Player.

1. Position the Media Player in front of the fairing opening so the wiring can be passed

through the opening.

2. Follow the wiring diagram and ensure all connections are secure and insulated with crimp

connectors to ensure proper operation.

3. Turn the Media Player on

to conrm operation (motor-

cycle ignition switch must

be on) and once correct

operation is achieved turn the

motorcycle ignition switch off

before proceeding with the

nal mounting of the chassis.

4. Ensure that the unit is

supported and secured on

the sides using the existing 4

factory screws; failure to do

so may allow the unit to move

during while riding, causing

damage to the mounting area.

1.6 Installing the Media Player if an existing factory stereo is already installed

If replacing an existing Harley-Davidson® factory stereo use the existing Harley-Davidson® factory

side mounting brackets and hardware to mount the Media Player.

1. Unplug the 23-pin harness and FM/AM radio antenna from the factory stereo.

2. Remove the factory stereo and replace with the AQ-MP-5UBT-H Media Player using the exist-

ing factory mounting hardware.

3. Plug the 23-pin harness and FM/AM radio antenna into the AQ-MP-5UBT-H factory stereo.

4. Turn the Media Player on to conrm operation (motorcycle ignition switch must be on) and

once correct operation is achieved turn the motorcycle ignition switch off before proceeding with

the nal mounting of the chassis.

4. Ensure that the unit is supported and secured on the sides using the existing 4 factory screws;

failure to do so may allow the unit to move during while riding, causing damage to the mounting

area.

1.8 Power On

The AQ-MP-5UBT-H is a plug and play solution for 1996-2013 Harley-Davidson® Motorcycles.

Plug the standard Harley-Davidson® 23-pin connector in to the back of the AQ-MP-5UBT-H and

your speakers and hand controls will work the same as the standard factory install (some Harley-

Davidson® models may require additional steps).

Some stock Harley-Davidson® features e.g. CB radio will not be supported through the AQ-MP-

5UBT-H.

Below is a matrix of what can be controlled on the AQ-MP-5UBT-H via the stock Harley-Davidson®

hand controls.
