Screen retracts in rain or when washing. Sold HK head unit for $500. Basically got DVD, HD radio, Bluetooth and Nav system with a 7" screen for $100. Additional $100 to install with 3 year extended warranty. Can't go wrong! How much is the new Zumo 660 gonna cost?

I agree seriously nice set up but I rarely keep the front wheel on the ground so I would be afraid it would be short lived on my bike. It is a good deal concdering the xm module is $600 for the harmon karden.

In my case the splash cover does not work due to my bike having the same chrome bezel around the deck opening.

Got caught in the rain once. No problems. Just be careful if you are washing and splashing water up in the area.

Cost to try = 20 minutes of my time maybe. It's sitting uselessly on the shelf anyway.
