Depending on your amp you might be able to put this right on top of it. I had a simliar size iPod unit and just stacked them. My new and upgraded Hog Tunes amp actually came with a bracket that gives me a small shelf under the radio.

I installed this Bluetooth kit a few weeks back. Works fine. You can’t pull up separate play lists with the controls, or if you can, I haven’t figured out how. If I am doing songs from my phone I just pick a play list off the phone and start it. You can skip songs with the handle bar controls though. It does display the song title on the radio. I use it with amazon prime music and same thing, pick a station on the phone, and then just control it via the handle bars from there. If I shut off the bike, it does pause the music and will restart where I left off. I have a Cerwin vega b4 amp mounted to an amp tray in my fairing. The Bluetooth box would not mount to my radio because of this. I also could not put the box on top of the amp as it would not fit. I ended up opening the box and removing the board, which is half the size of the box and wrapping the whole board with slip tape and then securing that to my amp. So far, so good. Hope this helps.
<edit> forgot to mention I don’t have a gps unit n my bike, but I can hear the directions from waze or Apple maps through the Bluetooth so that helps as well.

I didnt have that problem at all. Later on the head unit started quitting, so I replaced the whole thing with an aquatics.

Hog tunes unit doesnt seamlessly integrate with the stock radio and allow you to use the handlebar controls.
I installed this unit and I love it!

Over the last few days, my HK radio has been cutting out. Yesterday was the last straw. It cut out ~15x and about every 2-3 minutes. A guy was selling the PAC install kit for an aftermarket radio that retains the handlebar controls. Ill be replacing the head unit altogether. This would have been a viable option if my head unit wasnt failing.
Thanks for the info!
