Just wondering what everyone is running in their 98-13

 

Try the search feature out bro as there are tons of recent conversations regarding HUs. U will definitely get faster results and with a broader brush.

Good advice from T! But to save you a little trouble. There's two Kenwood's and One Sony that's outstanding with our bikes!

1. Kenwood Excelon KDC-X998
2. Kenwood KMR-D765BT
3. Sony MEX-M70BT

Purchase any of these three HU's and you're golden!

 

Im looking at this one http://www.sony.com/electronics/mari...etails_default

 

I had it, great head unit and the display is tops!

I changed it out for a Kenwwod 998 because of two "flaws" (for me). First, the Sony only has a single HPF shared by both front and rear, the 998 has separate front and rear HPF's. Second, music search isn't easy if you have a lot of songs/albums to go through using the Sony, you have only next and last song options. The 998 can cycle next/last song, up to album level and search through various albums in that artist folder, and then up to artist level to search artist folders.

I MUCH prefer the display on the Sony, easy to see in any condition. The 998 I have issues when riding into the sun.

 

Im going Sony because of there songpal app. I ordered this https://fatbaggers.com/fbi-i-fairing...standard-paint and ill be able to work the iPad from the app. Do you know if Kenwwod has a app?

 

haha!

I was using a 7" Nexus Tablet and while very cool beans, it doesn't work well while riding.

Parked it's awesome but no go on riding.

I actually stitched up the fingers of a set of gloves with Conductive Thread and it worked great on my phone and the Nexus tablet but like I said, not so good while riding.

 

you should get a V&H FP3 also, you can use the display for all your readouts with the FP3 app

 

and yeah the Kenwood can use the Kenwood Music Control app for Android phones, I don't think they have an app for Apple but they do list "built-in iPod, iPhone, and iPad control" as a feature.

 

I have an 08 FTHT and tried several marine grade units with the biketronics unit. Worked and then had problems. Finally went to Medallion radio plug and play and works good. At the time only unit that was plug and play. If I were doing it now look at aquatic $299.00 or Jensen around $350.00 both are plug and play, have Bluetooth, aux
inputs and usb. All handle bar controls work, direct plug into factory harness.
