If you have a 2014 or newer Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle and would like to upgrade the radio with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the new Soundstream Reserve HDHU.14 from Extreme Audio in Mechanicsville or Midlothian is just for you. This motorcycle-specific radio features a bright color touchscreen and is designed to bolt and wire directly into your bike without any permanent modifications.
Features of the Soundstream Reserve HDHU.14 Radio
The HDHD.14 is based on a 7-inch optically bonded touchscreen that used a capacitive-touch interface. While that is a mouthful, it means that the screen is clear and bright, and uses the same touch-sensitive technology as modern smartphones. The display behind the screen has a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels, so icons will be clear and sharp.
The face of the radio has been designed to be waterproof with a rating of IPX5, so you don’t have to fret over getting caught in the rain or worry if you need to wash your bike after a cruise or before a show.
The radio is equipped with an AM/FM tuner and has built-in RDS information display. A Bluetooth receiver can be used to stream audio from your smartphone or make hands-free calls. The radio includes a dedicated Bluetooth microphone.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on your Harley-Davidson
Harley CarPlay RadioThe USB port allows you to connect a newer Android or Apple smartphone so you can use their voice recognition functions to choose entertainment options or get navigation information. Of course, you can send and reply to text messages and make phone calls.
Navigation is a big feature of these smartphone integration technologies. Using Waze, Google Maps or Apple Maps, you can get turn-by-turn directions to almost anywhere in North America.
While this radio is sold under the Soundstream Reserve brand, the parent company is also responsible for Precision Power products. You may see the name change in the next year or two.
