Upgraded info system question
Merry christmas to all
I have an 2018 road glide ultra and want to change the info system to something more useful and faster I was looking at the Sony XAV-AX5000 Turnkey Rushmore Radio but want to make sure whatever unit I decided on will work with the existing controls if at all possible
If there are options of other units and wiring systems please help
thanks

Several threads here on the ax5000. I don’t know about other options, perhaps Alpine and Kenwood?
There are several places to get the ax5000 with interface to Road Glide, per google.
I got mine, and an amp, from Paul at 702 Motoring in Las Vegas.

Lancaster here. As far as your initial question I have no personal experience with the aftermarket Rushmore head units but a couple local guys have the Sony. If you read on here a bit it seems that some functionality is lost due to hand control issues and water can be an issue. Biketronics has a cover for it but it's pretty new at this point.

Functionality is lost. Mostly just have clutch side thumb for volume, skip/repeat tune, and press to step thru input sources. Ax5000 is great for audio tho and supports Android Auto and Car play. I replaced 4.3 boom and don’t miss it. Ax5000 isn’t marine rated, so I added some water resistance. Lot of info from various folks on that as well.
