Default 2017 Head Unit
Hey guys. I've done some looking and upgraded head units for Rushmore bikes seems pretty limited and nearly non-existant. Are there any decent upgraded head units besided the Sony XAV AX100?

I think you've been mislead to believe the Sony is somehow special for Harleys. It's nothing more than a normal car audio deck.

The fact of the matter is there are a hundred of double-DIN navigation decks on the market. Take out the garbage ones and ones with CD players or other open holes and you've still got dozens to choose from.

The Sony AX100 and AX5000 happen to do a lot of things right.

Alpine and Pioneer NAV decks are also popular. I'm looking at that 9-inch 😶 Alpine to try on someone's ride.

Lotsa options boss.

I'm just looking to see what out there. I have the 4.3 right now and would just like Nav mostly, and the Android Auto on the AX100 caught my eye. Thats all.

i thought a standard double din wouldn’t fit the batwing bikes. It has to have a single din mount to clear the bars. Is there others designed like that?

RG a little trim of the radio mount at worst. Batwing there's maybe a dozen drop in decks right now (some $$$ such as the ALPINE X208U) but that's changing rapidly as they toss the CD in favor of mech-less.
