H/K Amp & Speaker Breakout Harness

Would love to purchase a breakout harness so I can add some much needed bass to my new Telly. Let me know how best to go about that!
 
Yes, you would just cut into this harness for your install instead of the factory wiring. If you plan to keep your aftermarket equipment when you finally move on from your Telly, simply remove this harness and plug the factory connector back into the amp and it's right back to stock.

There was a min quantity purchase for the connectors so I do have extra parts on-hand to make a couple more harnesses if there is any interest out there in the community.
Do you have any harnesses left for sale?

Yes. I make them individually when a member reaches out for one.

Where in the world did you find the oem plugs? I am excited about your offer to build these. I have been looking for a way to fix the anemic audio in my Telly and this is the perfect solution. Please build me one please.
Do you need advance funds?

Thanks for this solution!

I had to source them in bulk from that place across the pond where basically everything is made :cool:

Like others here I am reluctant to cut/tap into the factory wiring for the audio system and since I could not find one commercially available yet, I went ahead and made my own breakout harness for the Harman Kardon amplifier in my SX. I plan to install a new amp/dsp in a few months and this was the first step in my process. Bottom line it permits installation of aftermarket audio components without cutting/tapping of factory wires while also maintaining full use of that same factory wiring for speakers (we've seen elsewhere the challenges of running new speaker wire out into the doors). Thus far it works flawlessly with all channels intact for this particular connector...the center channel and front tweeter channels are located on the 2nd amp connector (w/inputs, pwr, gnd, etc), but I do not plan to use those in my future setup (disabled and crossover, respectively).

Can you make one for a 2023 S?

The part number for the OEM plug is 3-2188225-2. A google search points to Aliexpress where you can order the plug and socket kit. I have ordered two and when they arrive I will let you know if they work. I got the part number off the schematic drawing HLXHLX provided. The two sets were 9 bucks shipped. If anyone has any further knowledge about the fitment I would appreciate it.

This harness only works with the Harman Kardon audio system which I do not think is available in the S trim. There are other threads in this great forum that detail base audio system upgrades.

This is exactly what I need! Can you please PM me and let me know how much this harness will cost (if you are still making them)? Not all heroes wear capes, my friend!
 
I would love one of these! Please PM with info, thanks!

Here it is:
Running the breakout harness to my Focal K2 Speakers all the way around and Folcal K2 tweeters. Also a Focal 4ch amp..... Pushing the 2 12's P3 rockfords with a rockford 1000 watt amp and ofcourse my rockford DSR1 DSP but can see because its hidden. Isolator and everything running off it's own battery Yellow Optima Didn't need the cap anymore since I went with the isolator. FYI had to cut a square in the custom carpeted board for the spare tire release .....LMAO

How did you get the DSR1 to work with system? i datalink does not have 23 flahsh Are you using 2022 flash ? I tried 22 flash and radio won’t go past 18… any pointers ?
 
Would I still be able to purchase one of these from you?
 
Yes. I make them individually when a member reaches out for one.
What would you charge for two sets of the breakout cables for 2023 Kia Telluride with the Hartman Kardon system? This is exactly what I need. Would make job super easy. Thanks!!!

Please let me know if you are still making these. This is exactly what I need for my 22 telly with the hk system. Thanks
 
@HLXHLX , any breakout harness's still available. Just moved into a 2024 SX Xline and looking to add aftermarket amp in soon.

Thanks
