I just finished a Kenwood install in place of my stock HD radio. The new radio gives me bluetooth, HD radio built in, more power, cleaner sound, interface with my Android phone, and many other advantages. I still don't have the handlebar controls working, but, that's my next project.

I'm curious to know how many have done an installation like this, and what problems you ran into. I made my own mounts and face plate...didn't want to spend all that cash for one of the kits, and most of the kits are for Sony radios anyway.

I'd like to see some pics of your finished project. I have pics of how I did mine, if anyone is interested.

 

How or what do you intend on using/doing to get your handlebar controls working?

 

PAC has a radio interface that will work...utilizes the handlebar controls, but I will not have automatic speed control, which I can live without.
