Jensen and Aquatic Questions
Hi, couple of questions....
It's my understanding that neither of these support AVC?
Only the higher priced Aquatic AQ-MP-5UBT-HS has a USB jack, can I play tunes off of a USB stick?
The Jensen HD1BT does not have USB, but you can buy a USB plug that replaces the cigarette lighter, will this play tunes off of a USB stick?
If they can play tunes off of a USB stick, can you skip through the songs?
Thanks in advance

on the high end aquatic it has 2 usb ports, 1 internal and one on the rear of the head unit that you can feed out of the fairing, the internal one is behind the removable face-plate and yes you can play music from it and yes you can skip songs using the Harley controls. The rear one is for charging devices.
I've heard that the larger the thumb drive the slower the random play is. I haven't experienced this yet as i only used a 1 gig to test briefly. I do have a larger 128 gig i will be filling up and testing in the future.
Unfortunately i live in new england so i'm not sure how much longer i have to ride this year.

The thumb stick plugs in behind the face plate, you can also put your phone inside the radio. The face plate is on during operation, it keeps the unit water tight.

Yes, the face plate pops off so you can attach a usb drive and acts as a water proof storage if you choose to use your phone or iPod thru Bluetooth or thru USB

I have the HD1BT in my SG and I'll say this:
It's plug n play and easy to install. Hand Controls work and you can skip songs on either Bluetooth device or thumb drive. Thumb drive: it has a cable that you can route for access. It does take a while for the HU to read it though. All in all, it's a pretty good HU.
The bad: Overpriced. Can't read the display (definitely can't see the time). The sound quality is pretty much the same as stock. Have mine hooked to a BT 2180 amp and speakers and have to set the volume at least 3/4 of the way up to hear it going 60mph. Does not have automatic volume control so when you slow down or come to a stop, it's blaring and you have to constantly thumb down the volume. Holding it down doesn't do anything.
After having it awhile, I wouldn't recommend it. I don't have any experience with the other one you mentioned but seems way overpriced as well.
