As far as I know no aftermarket head units truly interface with the bike as you are implying.

It's fine I guess all pertinent information shows up in the gauges also.

At around 14:10 he talks about using the external mic (mounted behind the windshield) to answer a phone call or use voice assistant for Apple Car Play (ACP). Is that true? Is that the same for all Siri commands? You use some external mic and not a BT headset? What triggers this external mic? The mic isn't open all the time is it? How well will this work at highway speed?
He then says you can't do this (voice control) with a GTS. What about the voice recognition button on the left-hand controls. Doesn't that allow you to control ACP using Siri commands?
Back at the beginning around :40 he talks about the GTS and says you have to have a WHIM installed to activate ACP. I think that's incorrect. AFAIK ACP will work with either a wired (no WHIM) or wireless (with WHIM) headset.
Still I think this looks like a great option for many people at a price that's a lot easier on the wallet than the GTS.

yeah, I am not seeing an external mic working on a motorcycle lol , but it'd be silly to replace a GTS with this
I've been looking for any info I could find on this stereo, there isn't much out there, this popped up, and it's pretty informative, some of it, I take with a grain of salt, because he's trying to sell these things....

it ticks certain boxes i'd want to see in a replacement HU, but i'll be more interested to hear owners experience once they have them in bikes...
Jay's review @ Volunteer Audio is the best info I've seen so far, he already knows the Sony XAV-AX7000 well that I currently run (and his video on tweaks helped me with screen brightness and sound clarity) and obviously anything IPX6 is a bonus!
I'm very happy with what I have, now I have it wrapped behind the scenes. But I don't like my current need to run a screw on Roadies Splash Cover and find the mounting frame ugly when its off the bike (more often than on)
OR the fact the supplier I got it from appears to no longer be available to honor any warranty should it fail on me due to further water ingress etc
Based on what i've seen so far I don't like the permanent hard-key icons to the left and right, and the on screen UI seemed a little Fisher-Price IMHO
the feature set seemed good, but like a zillion Android tablets I've had the misfortune to work with... until you use one, you can't tell if it's any good and some can be just painful to use (slow, clunky, horrid UX)
the price point is lower than a GTS but higher than the Sony (but retro fit GTS is NOT an option here in Blighty). and the big plus is this radio wont require a Harley Tax Technician to instal it (same as Sony)
...Your Mileage May Vary
