Sometimes:

my volume would jump really loud.
i could see the radio volume going from 34-35-34-35..
the down volume would turn up the radio and i had to manually turn it down.
the next song button would not work.

i sent biketronics an email, but never heard back from them.

i took it out and went back to stock after the last ride.

Just installed mine over the weekend and so far so good. At least they seem to have good customer service; will replace if you have any issues.

I had the BT installed with a Sony deck back in 2005 on my 05 FLHTI. I haven't had one issue with the BT portion. The deck is finally starting to go, but it's a standard mp3 unit (not marine) and been in my bike for about 8 years now. I say money well spent. The volume fluctuates as I ride, but that's what it's supposed to do (nothing major really).

I need to check with BT now to see if I can keep the original until and get a new Sony deck, or if I have to buy a new BT unit. I'm hoping the former, but then they make the kit that will work with the other head units as well, so maybe I should just go that direction anyways......

Biketronics is the biggest POS made. Junk.... I went through 2 units ans still don't work right. Don't waste your money.


My first one didn't work right so I emailed them and I got a reply back. I answered their questions and never heard back again. I called them and got a new unit but I had to pay shipping both ways. What a warranty. NOTE to biketronics..... if you have a customer with a warranty complaint at least pay for shipping to your customer.

This unit ain't worth the box its shipped in. I pulled mine out and went with HAWG WIRED.
