Default Sorry if this is stupid (about the infotainment)

I have an 05 Road King and am considering upgrading to a 14-17 model Electra or SG.

I use my GPS a lot with ride planning and currently use my Cardo Freecom and a gps app for this, music and intercom with my wife.

I’ve read hours on end about the HD systems. With the bikes I’m looking at. Can and do they connect to my Cardo system and can I use it to plan rides? I’ve read it will be mono only and by now I’m sure there’s fixes or upgrades? I have no desire to listen to music via the bike speakers if that helps.

or should I just use Spotify and get a standalone GPS or continue to use my phone. Problem also is that my Apple won’t override the intercom with gps instructions so that’s frustrating in itself.
