Default Bluetooth no head unit

I have been looking but not sure what the right words are to use in a search. I want to put a Bluetooth device in my road king so I can run my system with out a head unit. Suggestions?

Thanks
Brad

Several companies, such as Kurykan, make systems that include speakers with integrated amp, that can connect via Bluetooth.

Thanks, But don't think that is what I'm looking for. I want to supply signal to amp/amps without a head unit and not run a Kuryakyn or Pyle handle bar type system. What I'm looking for is something that will go in a bag or under seat.... that will pick up the Bluetooth signal and supply the amp/amps

I haven't used or installed one, but this, or something like this, is what you would need:

Thanks for the suggestions! But after looking at them, would the volume control on my phone be the correct way to adjust it or is there another piece I would want to install?

I’ve always used the JL Audio module and controlled it via the phone. We did one bike where we wired the JL controller and installed in a custom seat. I’d just use your phone.

If you are looking for full eq/dsp adjustments the DD DSI-2 with the bluetooth adapter will allow you to play music via bluetooth and control your settings.
The JL BT receiver also works well.

I've use the JL adapter to an NVX amp out to a 4 speaker setup. Once amp is dialed in, I just used the volume buttons on my phone. Works perfectly.

Now I us a DD DSI-2 as Babyboy also suggested. I just connect my phone to it via Bluetooth and the volume controls on my phone work perfectly as well.

If you use the wired remote that comes with the BTR Kit it will also work for a volume control
