Great sound, plug and play

Finally bought this head unit to replace the factory radio on my '09 Street Glide. Ordered on Saturday afternoon, received on Monday, so fast delivery. Installation was easy as I said, the hardest part was accessing the four mounting screws. In addition, he immediately entered and connected. All manual controls worked without problems. Stereo sounds great. Just ask any of my neighbors lol. I have an iPhone 11. When the case is removed from the phone it fits behind the bezel, albeit at an angle,

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

There are hours! good fit for car audio

I purchased this head unit to replace a stock Harley head unit to install an audio system in my full upgrade 2013 Street Glide with Hog Tunes front speakers, cabinet speakers and tweeters to install. It's an amazing device, it has bluetooth which the stock device didn't have as well as a storage compartment inside. It was very easy to install, all you need is 1/2 inch rounded hex wrenches to get at 4 screws to remove at an angle. I read a lot of reviews not only here but also on other sites as…

Pros
  • best in niche
Cons
  • out of fashion

I just installed this deck on a 2012 Ultra Classic Electra Glide. Installation was easy. The hardest step was removing the 4 mounting screws that attach the deck to the bearing mount (you'll need a very fine set of 90 degree hexes). Also make sure you have extra zip ties as you will need to cut a few to get the best access. As mentioned in other posts, I can confirm that after removing my factory deck, a magic clock appeared on my odometer after driving a few miles (pic added). The stereo…

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Recommendation: Car radio

I really like this thing. I have an FLHTP (NO STEREO) so this was a great alternative to the million dollar OEM stereo and it matches the OEM. Beware if you also have a police motorcycle you may have audio jacks to make it plug and play. If you don't have a connector you can either add one to your wiring harness or buy an unmodified version of this deck and hardwire it. The amp on this thing is great and can be heard on the speakers with a hog tune at over 75mph. I'm sure the sound would be…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Great Unit No on Car Audio

I did some research and all the comments I saw said this unit does not have a clock and that was the only reason I waited to get it to buy. Well after looking at a few other brands I went back to Aquatic and figured I could live without a watch due to the ease of installation. Well, to my surprise, the device I bought AV-AQ-MP-5BT-H has a clock and it scrolls through the information about every 30 seconds. Well, back to the device itself: it's a Bluetooth system that works great. Can play any…

Pros
  • Handy Item
Cons
  • Replacement Availability

Brilliant! 10 STARS good for car stereo receiver

I have just installed this wonderful beautiful radio in my 2011 Ultra Classic and I am so excited and happy with everything about this unit. Learning manual controls is great fun! It even manages the songs I want to record from my old iPhone that I use as an iPod. I mainly listen to digital music. Installation went great! People here complain about four screws! doesn't matter! You use your curly tips to place the screws in place and then secure them with a wrench. There's a lot of space. Not…

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

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

Think carefully about whether you value a good-sounding radio when driving!

Wow, what a disappointment! It might be a little harsh, but if I can save a person a lot of frustration, so be it. Pros (very small) Comes in a nice box and well packaged Cons The faceplate doesn't attach to the device without using a lot of force. So bad I thought I would never take it off because it hurt so much to put it back on. Glove box with extra cable and USB. complete joke. There's barely enough room for a phone, let alone one plugged into the aux. USB for charging only. For real? what

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Protection

Truth plus answers to many questions. Good product. * 2 year update

First off, this system is a complete stock upgrade. I installed it on a 2009 road glider. The power of the onboard amplifier is much higher than that of the normal one. Installation consists of plugging the connector into the standard wiring harness and replacing the standard mounting screws. Okay, the correct answers have been given. This model without color display.1. yes i have a watch He scrolled through the display and there he was. Many say the clock appears on your odometer display as…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Not the best
