So what you are saying is when I wire an SAE plug to the USB port, I need to do it black/red and red/black in order for it to work?

Not necessarily, it could be either. SAE plugs come wired up both ways since they're made to be plugged into each other. It's a 50/50 chance the wires will line up correctly, so before you do any work just plug in the SAE plug to your bike, hook up the usb port to a cell phone or whatever else you're going to use with it, and touch the wires together both ways and see which works.

If you cut up a spare battery tender cable like I did, it'll need wired backwards....


If you buy one of these from somewhere like advanced auto/pepboys...



You can see that both plugs are wired opposite of each other. One is wired correctly and the other is wired backwards since the red on one end goes to the male end and the red on the other plug goes to the female end.

I wired both my bikes this morning. The first was red/red and black/black (Luck of the draw), and I stupidly did the other one the same way. Of course the 2nd didn't work, but it was an easy fix to swap the wires around. Now both bikes are wired for sound! Thanks a million!

Cool gadget, but unfortunately my phone has a micro USB connector. They keep changing the damn technologies faster than you can make toast.

You just need something like this... http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/38/10622/ITEM/HJC-FS-10-Solid-Helmet.aspx the USB ports she's selling are the female end, you need a plug to go into it no mater what you're hooking up to it. Just type in your phone name and "USB" into ebay and it'll find a cable for you. I bought one on ebay for my phone and gps both for about $2 each.

^^^^ Yeah, what he said. :)

I have a Samsung Convoy and it came with a USB charging and data transfer cable.  But if I just wanted to buy a spare, it's costs less than $3 shipped, like this:

Plug and play from there.  :cheers:
