Question Best radio unit

Hello all,
I am new to the group, and I have read a LOT of post on here about audio systems. I have a 2012 Ultra Limited and I want to beef up the system with new speakers and a new head unit. I had decided on the Aquatic unit, but after reading post on here, maybe not. My question is, I want a dependable, beefy radio unit for my bike that is compatiable with the bar controls. I know everyone has MANY DIFFERENT opinions, but I hope I can narrow it down to a few good units. Most of my riding is long distances.
Thanks in advance!!

I love my Sony MEXM70BT. I think they are now a little newer updated model. Some of the best pre Rushmore stuff I've heard have this head unit. Others will chime in about the Kenwood and Pioneer etc options.

Welcome.....I running a Alpine HU BT147HD for about 6years now and the thing doesn't miss a beat...I'm waiting to get a new updated version with XM radio, but it has Bluetooth, USB, thumb drive, HD radio, CD and Pandora...My p phone is hooked to where I can receive and call out....Hard to do cruising 75-80 down the slab....Good luck.
