    Default wire in trunk on 2014 RT TLD

    I was just wondering what this wire is/does on my 2014 RT LTD. Thanks, Mike

    Just a guess here, but it looks like it's attached to an antenna for a satellite radio.

    Satellite radio possibly, but that looks awfully much like my remote mount GPS antenna, so I'd hazard a guess that if you don't obviously have a GPS that it's plugged in to, you very likely have a GPS Tracker hidden on the Spyder somewhere!

    Thinking Satellite Radio too..Have you checked when you scroll thru the display yet?
    Maybe disconnected too and antenna was left in the bike

    I installed a satellite radio myself, that's the antenna. I moved mine to the top of the trunk for better reception

    I see something that concerns me a little bit...
    Your antenna cable hangs underneath the strut that holds up your top trunklid.
    Could you re-route it, so that's it's above the strut?
    (I'm just concerned that the strut is working against that cable, and could wear a hole through it...)

    Default wire in trunk on 2014 RT TLD

    Thanks everyone. I've been out of the country and I reformatted both of my computers so I've been out of all loops. Starting to get chilly here in Chicago but we ride when we can. Mike
