Review on πŸ”Š Upgrade Your Ride: Aquatic AV MP5 Replacement Radio for Harley-Davidson (1998-2013) by Aaron Hawk

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Water resistance and sound quality is much better than the horrible stock Harley Touring radio

I removed the Hawg Wired amplifier that I used with the Hawg Wired fairing speakers and stock radio, and this radio is much louder without an amp and noticeably better sound quality, but there are a few minor issues. I want the screen color to be orange to match the instruments and it only has 2 dimmer settings: brighter and brighter. I'll look for a static display case with dimming orange gel because it's too bright at night. The bezel is difficult to put on and take off and there isn't enough room behind it to store my phone for my small Galaxy S5 when I plug in USB (for charging only) and a 3.5 jack so I leave the bezel on on. and use the Bluetooth function and the phone holder. And I installed a USB charging port through the cigarette lighter slot on the fairing because the radio bezel is too difficult to remove to charge the phone. Overall I am happy with the radio and the improved sound quality over the Harley Davidson radio. I would like to thank the seller for using biodegradable packaged peanuts instead of the styrofoam peanuts that have been in every Revain package for over five years. I wish Styrofoam peanuts were banned and Revain would take the lead in using this biodegradable packaging.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Not everything fits
