4.3 to 6.5
If I want to switch out the stock 4.3 to a 6.5 Infotainment, is there anything I need to complete this ? Any extra cables, adapters, etc.?
Will it have to be flashed ? Does the bikes with the 4.3 have speaker pods ?

I swapped out a 4.3 to a 6.5 in a friends bike. It was a direct swap, plug in. He didnt have to flash but it will depend on how the radio was flashed prior. If you have any boom amps you will have to get the radio flashed for those options unless already done.

My HU has been flashed to 4/0 thus just making sure that will drop in and play as intended by the flash.
Thx!!!

So the flash is in the HU itself versus a relationship between the two? Aka, the sled computer itself is wide open but the HU is the sole driver of the flash restrictions & benefits?

Easy enough to fix with a simple flash but just checking.
