Up intil the other day I was running the stock HK unit with the Soundstream PN4.520d amplifier and Polk Audio MM651 speakers. It sounded good and could be heard at 80 MPH on the highway no problem. I was looking for an upgrade so I could stream Bluetooth to the unit via phone without having a seperate module plugged into face of unit.
Took a look at the Alpine UTE-BTB2 Digital media receiver that does not play CD's and pulled the trigger. Added the Sirius module andinstalled with the Biketronics retro radio kit and module. This thing is great, need to pull fairing again and readjust gains, did it be ear first time but think i will try the DMM route this time. Sounds great with Sirius, Bluetooth, and memory stick. changing also brought back my AM/FM reception which was pretty much gone when I installed the SS AMP.

Congrats and thanks for the feedback, I never used my CD player on my older Alpine. Might upgrade and like you, upgrade to XM radio..... Lots of adjustable features in a Alpine HU. Thanks for sharing.
