Kenwood media reciever

[Mr.Goodtime]

Has anyone tried their steering wheel control kit for a harley?..Does it work on the bike too?...thanks.

I have a couple different options available for the thumb controls on a harley, but I'm not aware of anything specifically made by Kenwood. The easiest option is the Biketronics or Hawg-wired kits, but I also sell the PAC & Axxess hardwire options.

 

[Mr.Goodtime]

well if i go to Amazon and look at one it gives me the option of this kit for 50 bucks?...A hole lot cheaper than those two..thats why im asking about it..It says it works on almost any steering wheel controls.So i thought why not on a Harley?

YES! Harley-Davidson = EXPENSIVE! Mr. Goodtime, send me a link to what you are looking at so we are ALL on the same page here, then we can say whether it will or will not work and give you some advice. This is not all a sales pitch from anyone, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for and its always nice to know before you do something exactly what to expect, then you can decide whether or not its worth it to skimp on the part.

It will work, but I was not impressed with the functionality of the last one that I did. Also, good luck with any warranty with online parts, not that its typically an issue. Those guys are just not making enough money to actually provide customer service after the sale - my 2 cents.

The PAC SWI-RC would be a better option if you are going to cut wires and solder resistors. I sell them for $80 shipped, programmed, and prewired with the resistors soldered in. Still not a good option if you are not 100% sure of what you are doing.

The Biketronics BT1005 kit is a much better option, and no cutting or modifying of the stock harness is required. MSRP - $250, I can sell you one for $200 + S&H. Just an option.

Also, what Kenwood receiver are you doing? KIV-701?

 

[Mr.Goodtime]

thanks alot...I was looking at the kiv-701 or the Alpine 305x...Not really sure what im gonna do yet...Just wasnt expecting the 200 on top of the stereo price...

How about my Medallion system? Much better piece for what you are after. I sell all three options and the medallion is in my personal bikes, just sayin!

$700, completely plug and play and water resistant up to 1000PSI for up to 30 minutes on the face.

That medallion set up looks sweet! Reckon I can get 700 for a stock HK?

$80 for the PAC already set up is an awesome deal! I gave 110 from a local auto audio store and I could never get it to do all the functions. I was in over my head I guess. Now it sits in my toolbox drawer!

 

[Mr.Goodtime]

cool i will give it a look

 

[soundzinstall]

Possibly!

 

[bradwulf20]

the hk decks are going for 300 plus on ebay 700 isnt totally out of the question for a hk deck especially if you find someone that needs one lol

 

[coolerman69]

Ok I'll take $600! I sold the non HK version from my 05 for $350. I think the guy was desperate!

that medalion setup is f-ing sweet. download 8gigs of music on a flash drive throw it in the saddle bag and forget about it. something about trying to change cds while riding scares me. just a personal opinion

I believe you can get up to a 64gb USB memory stick. Once the ipod cables are available, I will have them for sale in addition to the radio kits for $30 additional. I usually just recommend the USB memory stick or aux plug in because ipods have a tendency to get broken and cost hundreds of dollars, whereas a USB memory stick can cost under $10 and is easily replaced!
