Dammit, don't make me regret cheaping out on the standard model. 
Steve,...I tried the auto mute function for a little while but found that I missed having that music at stoplights (and since I do a lot of city driving I hit a lot of them), so I turned it off. The speed-variable volume control works pretty well, though.

The only drawback I've found so far is that I can't charge my phone if I have the flash drive plugged in. So I'm thinking about reinstalling the charger I had on the Shadow so I can charge the phone separately. I just have to decide where to put the cable. Maybe run it into the left saddlebag?
I did use that exact connector to wire in my Skene Design lighting controllers and a connection to my alarm system. I had initially jury-rigged a wire into that connector but was afraid it would not hold in place properly, so I ordered a proper matching male connector from CycleTerminal.com. This is a Sumitomo MT connector, "Male MT090-2L" in their part numbering. I also ordered some of the pins to go INTO the connector; that was part number "HM/MT/HW - 090 Male". This is a much more solid connection and works great. All of my switched power taps off of the wires that come out of that connector....when I had the bike apart this weekend I noticed there is (on mine) a 2 pin plug on a cable that is folded and taped together in the center under the seat. That is the 12v socket cable for non-USA models and does have a 10 amp fuse already in the fuse box. All it needs is the socket. That might make it easier to install your socket using that cable... no need to run any wire. I ran my own for a socket since I wanted 15 amps and didn't trust that the Honda wiring would manage more power than the factory intended. Later I may yet use the Honda supplied cable and add another one to my right saddle bag to charge gadgets. I am keeping the socket I added this weekend for "special" use only (my mini air compressor).
Are you sure of that model connector? Is that the HONDA model numbering for the plugs or the CycleTerminal model numbering? I looked on their web site and after having one of the connectors apart on my bike I think it looks more like the DL 90 series, the same inner seal and release tab, etc. Also, looking at the pins for both the DL 90 pins look exactly like what I thought I could see in the stock plugs... especially the female terminals and also the wire seals. The MT90 series may fit fine and be the same size but I think the female pins looked different and the plug housing looked different.I did use that exact connector to wire in my Skene Design lighting controllers and a connection to my alarm system.

I know that's what you ordered. I was just wondering if you found information to confirm which is the right item between the MT or DL series. I am guessing both would work.Sorry, I just saw this post. I looked back at my order and yes, I bought the MT series stuff. In fact I copy/pasted the part numbers in my post from my order acknowledgment. So I'm sure those will work. This made for a GREAT clean, watertight installation. I didn't bother to solder the wire to the pin, I just used some needle-nosed pliers to crimp it on really good.
