HOG TUNES BTS-U Universal Bluetooth Receiver
Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of Hogtunes BTS-U. We want your new unit to work as well as it was designed to, so if you have any questions or concerns, we are here to help. Email techsupport@hogtunes.com, or call us during regular business hours at (608)-554-7631 (USA#) or (705)-719-6361 (Canada #). If you still need help, please consider a professional installation by your dealer.
Installing BTS-U On 1999-2013 HD Touring Model With Radio
Mounting: We suggest placing BTS-U up high inside the fairing, and using
the 2 sided tape on the unit to adhere to a clean surface. You can also use
the supplied zip ties to secure the unit.
Wiring : Unplug the orange factory wire on the back of the bike’s
cigarette lighter. The female connector on BTS-U’s orange wire will plug
directly on to the back of the cigarette lighter. Plug the factory orange wire
onto the male “take-off” connector built into BTS-U orange wire. Unplug the
black factory wire on the back of the bike’s cigarette lighter. The female
connector on BTS-U’s black wire will plug directly on to the back of the
cigarette lighter. Plug the factory black wire onto the male “take-off”
connector built into BTS-U black wire. The blue wire is not used for this
installation. For FLH model bikes, in most cases, you will run the long black
audio cable with the male 1/8″ (3.5mm) plug across the back of the inner
fairing and have it exit the inner fairing on the underside of the handlebar
where it exits the inner fairing on the brake side. This makes it clean and
easy to plug into the AUX in on the front of the factory radio.
Please Note: You must have the AUX input selected on your radio to hear BTS-U.
Understanding The LED Indicators On BTS-U
- Flashing Blue LED: BTS-U is not currently connected to any devices and is “discoverable”
- Solid Blue LED: BTS-U is paired to a Bluetooth device that is within range
- Solid Red LED: BTS-U is paired to a Bluetooth device and is wirelessly receiving music
Note: If you are installing BTS-U on a 1999-2013 HD Touring Model, you may want to familiarize yourself with the LED functions before re-installing the bikes outer fairing.
Pairing Your Bluetooth Device To BTS-U
Put the Bluetooth device you want to pair to BTS-U in its Bluetooth® menu mode, and make sure BTS-U has power applied. Look for “Hogtunes BTS-U” in the Bluetooth devices menu, and pair to it noting no pin code is required. BTS-U will try to “auto pair” with the last paired device when powered up. If the last paired device is not within range, other paired units can be used. The typical range between BTS-U and most Bluetooth players is greater than 30′ (10 m). Several devices can be paired to BTS-U, but only one device can stream to it at a time.
Installing BTS-U As A “Universal” Unit
BTS-U can be used to send music to any radio with an “AUX in”, or can be used to send music directly to any amplifier with “low level” inputs. If needed, you can cut the terminals of the end of the orange and black wires and adapt to your vehicle. If the device you are sending music to does not accept 1/8″ input, use the supplied “Y Jack” to convert to male RCA connectors.
- Orange Wire: +12V (Switched) *Black Wire: Ground
- Blue Wire: Amp Turn-On Lead ( +12V/1A Max)
