Default Biketronics VS Arc Audio interface

I fumbled i meant to put hawg wired not arc audio...

i know both interface kits to install an aftermarket radio are both well made kits with lots of positives for both.....

which one is the best factoring in cost, quality, ect...

input would be helpful why you think one kit is better than the other

Biketronics all the way. Top quality products, lifetime warranty and excellent customer service. Been using their products for years and they never disappoint.

I have a Biketronics kit on my bike and its fantastic. I had a couple problems later on, both of which I had caused, and Biketronics (and this forum) gave me the info I needed to get it back right. They are an outstanding company. I really enjoy having a stereo on my bike.

Never tried the hawg wired.
Biketronics stands behind their product plus you get automatic voice control (AVC) which I like.

I think that's the big difference between the two- the BT allows you to keep the AVC, plus they sell an optional splash guard, whereas HW doesn't.

The BT has you use your stock stereo cradle I think, but the HW gives you a new one. Not sure if there is anything wrong with the stock cradle that would make the HW one desirable- I'd like to know that myself.

from what i can tell it looks like the hawg wired mount is more like a factory fit into the inner fairing, and the biketronics kit is more like putting an aftermarket radio in a vehicle.

does anyone know if the biketronics spashgaurd will work with the hawgwired mount kit?
