Will Hand Control Functions Display??
I know with the Biketronics and Hawgwired kits they say you maintain use of your hand control functions. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering if they display on aftermarket head units...you know, the setting 0-5 for your AVC, amount of treble, bass, etc. That kind of thing. Or if some brands Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer etc., are more compatible with my OEM hand controls.

Sony head units seem to be the most compatible however BT is the only one on the market that provides for automatic volume control retention. The AVC is automatic as is on your stock head unit but the settings for AVC are not going to be displayed on any aftermarket head unit. For this you will need to follow the instructions in the BT manual to adjust the sensitivity on it.
HW does not provide for AVC at all.

I thought the Biketronics wiring and Sony HU would let AVC work properly. That is one feature I wouldn't want to lose. My AVC is adjusted to 3 bars, it lets me rock out at speed but lowers the volume at stop lights so I don't blast out my eardrums. If the Biketronics wiring adapter does random weird changes to menu settings when running AVC that would be a deal breaker for me.

as long as you ARE NOT in a menu it will adjust the volume up or down...BUT if you are on "treble" or "bass" or whatever on the radio cause you may have bumped the left control in.....then the BT adaptor will adjust those
