Handlebar controls
I have a Kenwood KDCBT855U and I was wondering if anyone makes the interface to make the handlebar radio controls on my 05 Ultra Classic usable other than Hawg Wired?

- Biketronics BT1005 as acchd pointed out - only device that will retain AVC (automatic volume control)
- Hawg-wired - HUA360
- PAC - SWI-RC - requires some wiring but a lot cheaper than the others

I highly recommend any of them as they all do the same thing equally well with differences.
Biketronics - great product, retains avc and plug-n-play - $219 on Amazon
hawg-wired - great product and plug-n-play - $149
pac - great product, not plug-n-play - $27.99 at Amazon

Reviving an old thread to see if anything has changed in the last 3+ years.
Biketronics is still the only one that does AVC?
I was looking between BT and HW and HW was cheaper so I was trying to decide if there is a reason to sepnd more on BT.
Is the only reason AVC? BT is still the only one that does that?
I love AVC but was iffy on using it wondering if it can cause speakers to get over powered. Thought I read AVC could get you in trouble with after market systems?

Turn AVC off and keep it off when upgrading audio. Amp voltage jumps around and fries amps. No bueno

The replacement for thet BT1005 is BT1005X which you can order with mute function vs AVC. I think I might get better use of mute function over AVC. Hawg Wired is good controller and if didn't want AVC or mute I'd get it if it's cheaper.

I have the I Datalink ADS-SW-HD1. This does not have AVC but has a nice mute button and does everything I could want. The problem is after a while it starts losing functions. Crutchfield sent me a new one. However, since I had it all wired up I retained the old wiring harness. I believe that may have been a mistake. Possibly the harness/wires are bad. When I unplug and plug it back in it generally works again, but only for a while. The Mute and Volume always seem to work so I have put up with it. I wish I could recommend this unit, but I may be replacing it. Does the Hawg Wired have mute? Control cd, tuning etc? I may give it a try.
