Hi Everyone,
Nice day in wisconsin today and was able to get out for a few miles.
ANYWAY!!
The wifes EG-standard has a cheap radio in it with Pez's speakers and I wanted to put the Sony unit in it with the control unit for her handelbar controls. Is there a special marine grade radio for rainy situations. Does anybody have the model#? What was the first year for the Harmon Kardon?

 

GT520-06-08 Retro Radio Kit for '06-'08 models
GT520-98-05 Retro Radio Kit for '98-'05 models

2006 was first year for Harmon Kardon

 

Many HDFers, myself included,use the Biketronics interface unit that allows the EG handlebar controls to operate Sony and other headunits; Dawg gave you the part nos. Here's their website:

You can see the interface unit in Glide Man's recent post on his stereo install.

Sony and others make marine headunits that are the non-marine version of the same headunit with a coated circuit board. A true marine unit is too big to mount in the space provided in the inner fairing. You can see a helluva lot of headunits at Crutchfield.com, including marine units.

 

I have the sony gt520 from biketronics you wont need the marine radio if you buy the rain cover. I would buy again its a great product and its plug and rock with the hogtunes speakers

 

I got my sony CDX-5710 stereo ,rain cover and mounts from biketronic's,hogtunes from pez front and rear,my bike doesnt have thumb controls so no interface,when i bought this stereo from biketronic's it came with a plastic sheet, cut to fit the top of the sony and it was to waterproof the top of the radio from any water getting into the fairing,It's been in 3 years now,never a problem with water,just pop the rain cover on if washing or riding in the rain,still going strong and works great

 

Put biketronics gt520 in last night after taking faring off too 1 hour sounds good and volume goes up and down with bike speed works wiyh hand controls

 

Well Thanks for your replys. I'll look into the cdx-5710 unit.
Biketronics price just seemed a little steep considering the GT-520 sells for $110-$130 retail.
any thoughts!!!

 

Check eBay.. I bought my MEX-GP1 Sony for way less than Biketronics sells it..
