I used Biketronics kit w/sony . Use a flash drive in the USB input, nice and compact , just plug and go. No ipod to hide .

 

That is BADASS Glacier! Can you use the handlebar controls with the Kenwood deck? From my understanding that was the big difference and why Sony was one of the few brands that Biketronics could use, because that part was plug n play.

Never mind, I saw they have a new kit for different brands. When I got mine, they only worked with Sony. I think the kit I have installed is fine; really don't see the need for spending $250 on a kit when I can just spend that on a Sony deck (now that I know they have them still!)

Good idea on the flash drive too Heathen. If you use the flash drive with songs in folders, will the decks recognize them that way? I would guess so since they do for the mp3 CD's I used to create for the bike!
