Nicely Done. You may want to mention that, when disconnecting the battery, always disconnect the negative lead first. This way if the tool you are using to disconnect the positive lead touches the bike frame, you don't have any sparks or melt the tool you are using. When connecting the wires back to the battery, connect the negative lead last.
Thank you for the wonderful video. I installed the Amplink on my 1997 Honda Pacific Coast. It really makes wiring up accessories such a breeze. I control all the circuits from my smartphone. I am only using 3 circuits at this time. For the circuits I am not using, I turned them off. I used the always on wire to go to the battery tender. I will add a couple of more circuits later. Much easier than wiring up a relay, fuse block and ground block and much smaller. No more worrying about blowing fuses and replacing them. The PDM60 is a very good unit but the Amplink is great.
good stuff, I'm glad to see they updated the PDM60. I installed one on my brother's bike 2 years ago and when you are putting a bunch of electrical on a dirt bike to convert it into a street legal bike, these are great!
Thank you my brother! Dang good video! I will be getting one for my Honda ACE750. I have Boss Bluetooth speakers, I have Boss 2 channel 200 watt amp running my 2 pioneer 6.25 speakers in my hard bags, and a cigarette lighter, USB port, voltmeter all in one unit on the handle bars, with this unit I can clear up a lot of wires, and get ride of the relays! Thank you, and many blessings to you and your family 2020.
Well thank you but it's probably the power of video editing LoL.. I cut out all the parts where I'm trying to figure stuff out for 35 minutes at a time 😂
@@desert4seat thank you.. still works very well, Ive had no issues other than whenever I want to add something new or change something I have to look up how to it because I forget but really it’s pretty basic and easy to do Once I have a refresher.. other than that it just does what it’s supposed to do and I never really think about it.
@@Touringmidwest thanks for the response! I was a little concerned about reliability, I’m glad to know it has worked out well for you. I’ll definitely pull the trigger on one now
Yeah it was pretty easy, I think just seeing all of the wires leading to the module and trying to understand what Aron from Rowe electronics was trying to explain to me when I talked to him on the phone just made it confusing to my brain 😂 but once I started the project and got the wires out of the way that I knew I didn't need for my install it went along really easy.
Very good video and he certainly makes it look easy. I am currently in the process of installing an Amplink PDM and it is anything but easy. At least for me. If you are familiar with electronics and wiring in general, you'll have no problem. If, like me, you have no clue about what a 'trigger wire' does, etc. you are in for a steep learning curve.
You can do it! It takes a bit to wrap your head around all of the wires, but for me once I got past that it went pretty easy. its pretty intimidating to look at. If you run into anything that catches you up just give the guys a call at Rowe and they will explain it, nice guys there.
Do you still have the Amplink? I am using 2 outputs. One for my radar (output 1) and output 2 for my Garmin Zumo XT. Output one works like it’s supposed to but output 2 tells me it’s off on the monitor side. I don’t see where I can turn it on. How are you triggers setup? I wonder if that is the issue. Thank you for your time.
HI there i just bought the unit but not able to pair it up via bluetoothe the Amplink doesnìt show up in the bluetooth list at all... any suggestion i tried to contact the guys at Rowe but no reply... i also ive in the UK and a shipment back would be expensive so want to be sure if is my unit defective or maybe i did something wrong but i mean is jusy hook up to poer the green led stai fix and that should be the time of pairing but no way to have it in the bluetooth list i also tried with anothe phone but same thing bit disappointing any suggestion would be well welcome cheers
Keep trying it should show up at the very bottom of your list, make sure that your phone is searching for a Bluetooth connection, If you can't get right away you'll have to turn off the ignition and then back on. Other than that I am not sure. The guys at Rowe are very helpful so keep trying to get ahold of them as well if you continue having issues. I honestly have not tried the app in a long time because it's set up and I don't have to worry about it but when I originally set it up I think it connected right away.. wish I could be more help but I cannot think of anything else that would keep it from connecting.
@@Touringmidwest thanks for the help hooking it up! Made it easy. However for some reason I couldn't connect to the app at all? My phone couldn't find it any tips on that?
I can't remember, I know there is a light for the bluetooth that is only on for 30 seconds or something like that but I feel like there is another light that is always on.. I have the thing buried on my bike so I don't see it enough to remember for sure.
@@Touringmidwest also I couldn't tell but which positive wires do you use? The trigger or circuit? And why are there both wires? I tried the trigger wire to my heated grips, didnt work so I wired the circuit wire instead and it worked.

I agree, it's a great little unit.. very handy!

It's a great unit and the bluetooth functionality makes adjustments a snap.
@@Touringmidwest my amplink just showed up. can't wait to get it wired up
Great, you'll be all set now.
I definitely need one of these dude. Great video 🤘🏻⚡🤙🏻
Yeah buddy!

Just like Tar Mac, I watch them all. BTW I’ve been looking at the INNOVV power hub.
Nice, thank you man.
Nice.
Great video, Rowe should have done something like this. Thanks for the info, looking at getting one of these.
Thank you for the compliment, it's a great little pdm.
That's really cool and yeah I watch them all.
Excellent, thank you...very cool!
@@Touringmidwest very welcome .
Hell yeah kinfolk great video and what an awesome device! Stay safe brother 🤙🍻🍻
I like that I can eliminate the fuses, probably my favorite feature of the amplink.
Thanks for the information. You make it look easy :)
Well thank you but it's probably the power of video editing LoL.. I cut out all the parts where I'm trying to figure stuff out for 35 minutes at a time 😂
Pretty cool product
Yeah it can do allot of different stuff if you really want to get into wiring up a bunch of different accessories to different switches and such.
I watch most all of them
+Herb atta boy...lol, thank you brother.
Excellent job thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! How has this unit held up for the past years???

Cool yeah when you 1st showed it was like wow that looks Complicated . But watch you didnt look bad.

How do you attach aux lights to trigger with high beams?
You need to attach a trigger wire to highbeam switch somehow.. that is beyond my knowledge level I’m afraid.
Do you still have the Amplink? I am using 2 outputs. One for my radar (output 1) and output 2 for my Garmin Zumo XT. Output one works like it’s supposed to but output 2 tells me it’s off on the monitor side. I don’t see where I can turn it on. How are you triggers setup? I wonder if that is the issue. Thank you for your time.
I do, if I remember correctly my only trigger is the ignition switch but its been awhile since i set it up.
You convinced me and I bought one. Do you know if the settings remain when you remove battery power? Thanks.
They do... I think you'll love it
@@Touringmidwest I don't see the amplink app on the appstore anymore. I wonder what happened?

Where do you connect the negative wires for your accessories? The pdm based only one wire for the positive right?
all of the negative wires attach to the negative lead off of the PDM
@@Touringmidwest thanks!
@@Touringmidwest thanks for the help hooking it up! Made it easy. However for some reason I couldn't connect to the app at all? My phone couldn't find it any tips on that?
Wait is this a pdm 60 or amplink? And do both work with bluetooth? This is confusing
It's the applink. The applink has bluetooth. The Pdm 60 does not.
@@Touringmidwest oh...that explains why it wouldn't connect lol
Is the green led light supposed to stay always on?
I can't remember, I know there is a light for the bluetooth that is only on for 30 seconds or something like that but I feel like there is another light that is always on.. I have the thing buried on my bike so I don't see it enough to remember for sure.
@@Touringmidwest thanks, but with the light on, wouldn't that drain the battery slowly?
@@Touringmidwest also I couldn't tell but which positive wires do you use? The trigger or circuit? And why are there both wires? I tried the trigger wire to my heated grips, didnt work so I wired the circuit wire instead and it worked.
where to buy at an affordable price?
