Power AcoustikHD-14KIT 7” Replacement Motorcycle Head Unit for 2014+ Harley-Davidson Touring Motorcycles, Waterproof Touchscreen, Apple Carplay & Android Auto with GPS Navigation & Bluetooth System

The media could not be loaded. Amazing quality, functions great and bright, even in direct sun. Super easy to set up. Everything you need is right there. The usb cable was not short for me. Thumb controls work perfect. Bluetooth connects right away. I paired it with Ottocast so I don’t have to plug my phone for CarPlay. I’m so happy with this! 2017 Road Glide Special.

Works great, very easy to install if you know how to remove your own fairing/radio. Plug and play adapter included. CarPlay works great once you find a cable that works (5 of my cheap Amazon cables did not work, bought a higher quality one at Best Buy and it worked). Didn't notice any issues with brightness or it being too dark while riding in full direct sunlight for 200 miles today, with a tinted visor.

After reading through many of the reviews and looking at the videos, I decided to pull the trigger and buy this head unit. Got it yesterday and installed it. Right off the bat, installation on my 18 road glide was 10/10 for ease, literally plug and play. I didn't even have to assemble anything, the trim plate and the mounting brackets were already assembled on the radio. The supplied harness had a small blue single wire with a connector, that didn't get used for my application.My stock radio had GPS and the connector for that remains unused when using this radio (you use your own map through carplay or Android auto). The USB cable! THAT is a bone of contention! Yes, it is short! The rubber grommet is about several inches away from going into the hole. The manufacturer of the radio needs to make the cable about 1 ft longer, problem solved. For me, I used RV roof tape and covered the hole and hooked up my USB cable for the iPhone to the radios cable end and left it tucked neatly inside my fairing and routed the phone plug connector up my handlebars to my phone mount. Yes, complaints about daytime brightness are valid. During daytime driving, the screen is too dim for my liking. It's like looking at a screen with a privacy screen protector on it. I can still make out what's what and let's be honest, who the heck is staring are their screens while riding. There are settings to adjust the nighttime brightness. I wish the radio manufacturer would give us the same adjustability settings for daytime (would be a simple software/firmware flash). Other than those two gripes (dim/USB cable) the radio performs as advertised. For the price point, functionality and ease of installation, you can't go wrong. I'd give this product 5 stars if they correct those two issues.

Bought this radio to replace the old one I put in my bike. The other one I had was water resistant and keep getting moisture behind the screen. Eventually the moisture got the wiring connecting and blew the entire radio. Decided to try this after lots of research.Time will tell if it holds up but it is truly plug and play. The mounting bracket was already on the stereo and this one was metal compared to the stock one that was plastic. Came right on and sound decent for just a head unit with no amp. Fit perfect with no issues.Quality seems well made with all metal pieces. I saw reviews where people complained about the brightness and yes in the sun it isn’t the best, but I like it because the nighttime riding isnt as blinding.

Wow what a difference on my ‘14 Triglide! The factory radio was eh, good for gps, but hard to see. What was worse was that the factory radio would loop the same 10 songs from Apple Music over and over and over. Not this bad boy! I paired this unit with a wireless Apple CarPlay dongle via the built in USB port and I’m now able to keep my phone in the trunk to charge because this unit perfectly and seamlessly pairs with and mirrors my phone each and every time reliably. Not to mention, it was literally plug and play into the original factory wiring harness and all of my handlebar controls still work!! If you have an older Harley that this unit is compatible with, it’s the best $399 you will spend on your bike. Period!

I replaced the head unit on my 2017 SGS. So far so good. I’m using an amp and a digital sound processor to clean up and amplify sound. The unit has preloaded EQs, and you can customize, but I wanted more EQ control. It was easy to install, easy to add on to with accessories.I really like the Apple car play option! Some apps act strangely, for instance, radio station apps will only play when the display is showing the app only. So some apps you can’t use the navigation simultaneously. That’s not a deal breaker and it’s not because of the head unit. All in all, the value for the product is really good. It sure beats spending $1200 for a similar item. Well worth the experiment and I will update in time.

Installation wasn't great. If this is designed for HD touring models it shouldn't have variable screw holes. It made putting the top plate on a real hassle. After I got the top plate on I realized this was not a true plug and play radio. If I wanted the USB connection for the CarPlay or Android Auto I would have had to drill a hole in my fairing as the radio did not have a provision for the bike's stock USB connection. This isn't the worst part yet. After I had the radio secured and power connected to it I powered on the bike. The over-the-air radio worked just fine. However, I could not get the Bluetooth to connect to my phone at all. I work in the IT field so I did everything in my power to get that working all to no avail. Then I tried the CarPlay. It would connect for a split second and then go back to the OTA radio. Overall, I would not recommend this radio to any one for any reason.

The radio is a direct fit. The display screen is bright and easy to use touch screen. This is leaps and bounds better than the factory radio. Crisp display and great sound quality. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to upgrade.
