Looking for a good setup for my friends 2010 Street glide. I have the JMC dongle (thanks to this forum) on my 2020 SGS and it works flawlessly. Everything that comes through my speakers is now available to come through my generic headset. Is there a similar dongle for the 2010 boom system? I did a search and found a lot of information from older posts, referencing the WHIM. What is the best setup to date? Thanks in advance.

2010 would have been a Harmon Kardon radio. You could send it out to Iron Cross to get Bluetooth added to it. I believe that will give you Bluetooth input only however. He could use a headset with his phone for music and communication. That older radio is the limiting factor though. He could upgrade to one of the many better aftermarket radios. They will give him more functionality. Some even have Car Play/Android Auto. However, he will still need to use a 3rd party dongle to split up the audio (ie; turn by turn in headset, audio on radio. Vise versa, etc )
If I'm remembering correctly the problem with those pre-Rushmore Street Glides is they didn't have ports for wired headsets, which is where a Sena Freecom would plug in if one wanted a wireless headset. That port can be added, and the wired headsets are cheap for basic use, but there isn't really any provision for linking a phone with that setup if that is what your friend is after.
On my 2010 Ultra Classic I added a SaddleTramp bluetooth module to stream audio from my phone and it worked pretty good, but I had to learn the quirks it had to keep it going. Honestly the GTS head unit was one of the reasons I was looking forward to trading bikes when I did.
The Soundstread Reserve WHD.SG head unit add a lot of modern features such as Apple Car Play and Android Auto, but I don't think it has any provision for headsets. From what I can see they are coming out with a V2 that will add wireless headset functionality. Yes it is expensive but it will give all the functionality of the modern head units, which is pretty sweet when you think about it. Looking at the description though I don't know if it will allow phone calls to be handled or if it just passes audio to the headset.
