As others mentioned . Go with the GTS HD has the cables to make the change seamless. It is a better system than the 6.5.
As for Sony WTF makes them any better the premium Sony system in both our cars has had issues. No big fan of all things HD but the GTS does work well once you figure it out.

The hu would have to be flashed in a 19 or newer bike before installing in your bike I believe. If you buy one and sending to carlos anyway, im sure he can do that as well.

H-D Change Log
Update: MY20.19.39.00
Improvements
- P&A radio P/N’s 76000829A and 76000834A are already loaded with this software, which allows the GTS radio to be compatible with ’14-’18 Touring and Trike North American (DOM) models. If the GTS radio is not one of these two part numbers and is being installed on a ’14-‘18 Touring or Trike this software update MUST be performed with the radio connected to a ’19 or later Touring bike prior to installation on the earlier model. Once the update is complete a pre-calibration reset MUST be performed on the radio, then it can be installed on a ’14-’18 vehicle. Refer to instruction sheet 94100195 for fitment details.

Not to beat the horse more, I replaced my GT with a GTS. That head unit is a joy compared to the older one. There are many reasons, here are just a few.
Way faster boot up time.
Way faster bluetooth connection.
Android Auto and CarPlay.
Fully waterproof.
Thumb controls for all screens and functions.
Many guys love their Sony and I get it. The sound quality, boot time and adjustability make it a nice unit. Personally, I want the full functionality of thumb controls and waterproof though.

Unless a vary reasonable one comes along in the next 3 or 4 months I may wait it out or buy new for what the used ones are going for that I've seen , even with damage to the main connector socket their were still asking $1800.00 , another with a broken fin and marred face plate they wanted $1725.00 , at those price's why wouldn't you just buy a new one . $1200 sounds reasonable , especially installed , though other than the flashes / updates done on a 19 or newer , I can handle the install.

and simply wrap the radio in plastic draw liner (plenty of threads on here showing how to)
(I run the 7000 in my 2017 FLHXS in the British rain)
but if you are going to stump up the Harley tax..then go GTS over GT (you still wont have carplay and up-to-date free maps with the GT)
