True plug-and-play: connects directly to the factory radio and rear speaker connectors with correctly pinned Molex® connectors — no cutting, no splicing, no CAN-bus interference. Dual output: standard removable RCA for any aftermarket amp, plus a built-in 4-position Molex® plug for direct connection to Cicada Audio® amplifiers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn 2014–2023 Harley Touring models, adding aftermarket amplification typically means cutting or tapping factory wiring — which risks CAN-bus faults, loss of OEM functions, and future diagnostic headaches. The HDTSLINKAR eliminates all of that. It taps the factory radio signal at the source with a true T-connector, leaving the factory wiring intact and all OEM functions — fade control, handlebar volume, factory EQ profiles — fully operational. One harness replaces seven separate adapters, taps, and signal harnesses that would otherwise be required for a complete install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders adding a 4-channel aftermarket amplifier to a 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® or Street Glide® who want a clean, no-cut installation that preserves all factory functions. Works across all 2014–2023 Touring stereo configurations — basic models through CVO Ultra, factory-amplified and non-amplified alike. Best suited to builds running both fairing speakers and Tour-Pak® or saddlebag lid speakers, where the T-harness provides the most complete OEM-integrated signal routing. If you're also adding an ADS Maestro AR for factory EQ correction, the HDTSLINKAR is fully Maestro AR ready — the Maestro AR is sold separately and pairs directly with this harness.

When you add an aftermarket amplifier and upgraded speakers, those acoustic limitations no longer apply, but the factory EQ is still shaping the signal. The result is boomy, distorted bass and harsh mids at volume that can't be tuned out at the amplifier. The ADS Maestro AR (sold separately) removes this upstream processing so your amplifier receives a flat, neutral signal it can work with correctly. For any serious audio upgrade on a 2014–2023 Touring model, Maestro AR integration is strongly recommended alongside the HDTSLINKAR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarnesses Replaced\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HDTSLINKAR replaces all of the following in a single install:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2014–2023 Harley Plug-N-Play Signal Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2014–2023 Harley Plug-N-Play Rear Signal Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStealth Accessory Harness Power Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRear Harley Speaker Wire Harness for Bags or Tour-Pak®\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStealth Battery\/Ground Power Tap Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUltra-Rear Radio Signal \u0026amp; Speaker T-Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHarley Fairing Speaker Pod Plug Adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBike Application\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2014–2023 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide®, Street Glide® — all configurations including CVO Ultra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFactory System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll 2014–2023 Boom!™ configurations — factory-amplified and non-amplified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier Output (RCA)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAny 4-channel aftermarket amplifier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier Output (Molex®)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll Cicada Audio® amplifiers (direct plug-in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaestro AR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eADS Maestro AR compatible — sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot for 2024+ Touring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2024+ models use A2B digital bus — see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-24hdzenhcakit\"\u003e24HDZENHCAKIT\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDTSLINKAR factory radio T-harness × 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cicada Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50338052571383,"sku":"HDTSLINKAR","price":350.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/6505\/1639\/files\/HDTSLINKV2-1-Edited.png?v=1784505388","url":"https:\/\/www.motorcycleaudio.com.au\/products\/hdtslinkar","provider":"Motorcycle Audio Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
