Default Radio Replacement/Upgrade?
I have been having trouble with the stock HK radio on my bike. I understand I can get it repaired through Iron Cross. But before I do that do any of you know of a plug and play upgrade to the stock radio? I want to retain all of the hand controls. I came across the Sony CDX-GT740UI. Is that an upgrade over the stock radio or should I just have the stock radio fixed?
Thanks

This is what I just had installed. It has an amp and iPod cable which charges the unit. This wire is ran from the back so you can't see any wires and I have the hand control gadget which allows me to use hand controls. The iPhone is plugged in and connected in the side bag. Sweeeeeet!!!
