Default Pulled the trigger

So with the BT sale, I pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered a mounting kit for my 15 RG. Also ordered a kenwood 998. Just tired of fiddling with the stock HU. But honestly the thing that pisses me off the most is having to select Bluetooth every time I start the bike.

So Sundayish I'll be ripping the 6.5" infotainment junk out and swapping this goodness in. I'll update here for those interested.

And for those curious I'm running a CW B2 and Arc 602's.

Saw someone is looking for the 6.5 boom head unit in the audio classifieds. Get back a little of your money.

I think the stock HU would increase trade in value. If it were me I'd hang on to the stock HU and put it back in when it comes time to trade and keep the good BT stuff.

I agree with bert. I found out that the bike without the original radio looses value greatly. I had to put the OEM radio back in my 2012 SG in order to trade it in.
