Default Radio/BT Questions

I have a 2012 Tri glide. I was looking into taking out my Air gauge and replace it with a Hog tunes BTS-AA In Fairing music controller for 1999-2013 Harley-Davidson Touring Models. Can I remove this with out issues or can I relocate it. Or would it be better to install an Aquatic AV AQ MP 5UBT-HS Factory Harley Davidson Replacement AM/FM Satellite Radio. Wasn't sure if this is ok to do with the Security System. Thoughts on this please, We are taking a couple long rides and want the wife to enjoy some good music on the ride. What the best way to proceed.

Installing an Aquatic radio to replace the stocker will not interfere with the security system. Aquatics is plug and play. I had one on my 2002 UltraClassic.

Instead of the aquatics unit I would suggest the Rockford PMX Headunit or better yet the Soundstream HDHU9813 which will give you better features as in larger screen,apple/aa for navigation and a ton more features than the other HU listed.

They are all plug n play. Just depends on what you want to spend on the upgrade.

Many people remove the worthless air temp gauge, and replace it with an oil temp gauge, without issue. But IMHO, that controller thing seems expensive forcwhstbit does, without just using the controls in a radio.
