Yes, has two USBs. I use one for thumb drive full of tunes and the other for phone for Android Auto mainly for NAV.
Great SQ! Even can set filter cutoff freqs and adjust equalizer from the screen.

I have one, really like it so far. The sun will wash out the screen. I bought a anti glare film that helped but it is still not as clear as the stock unit was.

I purchased the Sony 5000 from Audio Advantage in Newberry S.C. $450 delivered and comes complete with mount and Scosche control all wired and ready to install, I received the unit in less than 48 hours and they were very helpful and friendly service

you can not search a artist with the thumb controls.
You can not zoom in on the maps with the thumb controls
You can not see the screen that tell your parade mode is activated, your oil PSI

Hi Juice,

So to make sure I have it correct here (I'm a blonde sometimes) - the Sony unit will work with the handlebar controls without any modifications or add-ons needed? I had an 05 EG and when I upgraded the stereo I needed the Retro Radio kit - I figured if I wanted to upgrade the HU and speakers on my 16 RGS I'd need that or something similar.....

No there will be a interface that is needed to use thumb controls. Some are better than others.
Once installed you actually program what you want certain buttons to do IE.. Source, volume up, down, advance/retard tracks, phone buttons, Att volume.

Got it. Kinda what I figured - but I was getting hopeful there for a second.

It came with everything needed for 450$ to include the interface module (If that’s the right word), to use hand controls??
