Just to make sure folks understand my problem, I have bt4180 amp bt speakers in all holes fairing lowers and 6x9 in saddle bags problem is I don't care what anybody post for radio flash none of them work closest was 00_off bin only worked when parked cause when you start bike that bin switches to 00_on bin and sounds like crap also avc on this bin also controls sound change when traveling at speed stupid I know but its the truth. Have read many post about 135_bin this file has two problems with my setup one has no fader and I think that is very important when playing certain songs like to fade a little to the rear to squeeze some extra bass out of 6x9 makes a big difference to me, Also this bin file though it has no fade will change the fade every time you start bike one time its dead center next time three bars to rear and so on so no way to get proper gains set.RANT over....


SO my question is what to do about it. Ideas needed
Metra kit looks like clean install has handle bar controls has separate display for engine ,although my power vision has this and more, was thinking about mounting pv to l/h side dash dummy hole but screen not that great .


bt has offered possibility's of me trying there pre production interface kit and single din mounting


I have no idea what single din radio to use and a little pissed to loose navigation but phone, map can get me where I need to go and don't care about playing cd's have over 6,000 songs on usb drives.


Ideas please

I love my Kenwood HUs . I use a USB all the time . for the single din I have seen guys running after market double dins. They have GPS and they all seem happy with them. If you look around the forum there is a post about this already. You would have to look for it I don't remember what its called. Hope this helps a little bit

Man, I think it would suck to ditch big expensive factory radio for single DIN radio, with tiny display. Have you tried the magic box?

The only DD in a Rushmore bike I have seen was a custom job.

I totally agree with this statement , but think what sucks just as bad is all the money I have spent to ride and lesion to quality music at the same time never ever have I spent money and been so disappointed and I am one that dose lots of research first, thing that got me was counting on Harley to fix radio dsp level's. Live and learn, and maybe someone else can save some money cause all the this flash that flash is just wishful thinking at this point.

Along with my amp and speakers, I have the magic box waiting for install. I don't trust the dealership with techy stuff...

I'd give Biketronics a call and see what they suggest. They've been very helpful when I called them.

Yep have had nice conversion with them there hands are tied at the moment
they do have some promising things in the works for aftermarket radio and engine display, also working on work around of having to count on Harley to create and load proper bin files . only thing saving me is winter fast approaching and have done big rides for the summer.

I adjusted my B2 with the bike running, sounds way better while riding now. Sounds like **** with the engine off but while cruising it literally huts my ears, and I'm usually blasting my car stereo.
