The bike is a 2011 Street Glide. I've had a Sony with the tune tray, and three upper level Pioneer head units and they all either partially malfunctioned or lacked features that drove me insane.

The rest of the system is great, JL Audio amps with 4 Pioneer 6.5's and 2 6x9's.

I ride the bike a lot and get caught in rain every now and then. I want to hear what HU you guys are using and are you happy with it.

Bluetooth is a must, prefer 4.0 volt outputs, aux input on front is a must. Properly operating handlebar controls are also a must.


What say you?

Pioneer deh80prs with rain cover

 

Kenwood BT958HD on the bike with a Biketronics cover for rain and washing. 2 years and 12,000 miles without issue.

 

i'm using Sony with tune tray for over 75,000 miles rain cover is the only thing that protecting it . from riding in the rain to parking in the hotel from 48 States that me and my bike has been . Rain Cover is a must !

 

I had a sony with the tune tray and loved it but the volume button stopped working almost immediately

 

Had this one but my handlebar controls would work when they wanted to. And sometimes it would just cut off.

 

Exactly Kris!! Key word being RAIN COVER!!!

 

I should also mention that I have and do use a rain cover. it is the V-Twin Audio VTWCR Waterproof Radio Cover.

 

Good to go! Best one out there. Now granted some of the Sony 310's had some issues. I've had three of em. Eventually they were discontinued. Moved on to the Sony Mex and have not had a problem since. You could always go with the high dollar Aquatic. A lot of guys appear to be happy with it but I've also heard horror stories with the aquatic as well.
