I just finished my upgrade with this radio yesterday. Rather than go for the $200+ mirror I bought an $89 Motorola Android auto dongle. Everything works fine. Thanks VA for carrying this product and helping us upgrade our bikes to this decade.
@@volunteeraudio it is 30 days to do an exchange. Otherwise it's going back to Motorola for a warranty claim just like anything else you buy.

I'm late to the party as usual, first heard of these in early 2024. Ordered one today (May 2024) for my 09 FLTR. This option is long overdue for Harley owners. Thanks!
Great video Jay. Really enjoyed it. I have a few friends with older road glides. I'll definitely let them know about this radio. Thanks for all the great information. Stuart. 👍
I have a 2015 CVO SG, my Boom Audio quit working about 9 months ago, how I found out about Volunteer Audio was from another You tuber Traveling Tall. So I started watching Jay's video's and he did a system on a SG just like mine. I went to 3 audio shops in my town and started to ask questions about the products that Jay was installing on HD's they didn't know about the radio some good remarks on the hertz speakers and amp, they were pushing there own radio and speaker's and cut wires to install this and that and thousand of dollars later I don't have a clue what the system will sound like, I asked for some referrals form there customers but never heard anything back from those shops. So I got on the phone and ordered a complete system from Volunteer Audio, Soundstream radio, 6x5 speakers for the upper and lower fairing and 6x9 for the bags and Amp. If you can take the fairing off YOU CAN INSTALL THIS SYSTEM YOURSELF !!!!!. If you have a question about anything call the service tech and Rick will help you. He will go out of his way to answer any questions that you might have!. I installed the system myself and as far as the systems sounds it was money well spent it sounds so good and really loud at 70 mph half volume and just so clear. The amp is preset, quality of all cables is top notch, the junk that HD put in a CVO is unbelievable, believe me this is complete and very easy install. Watching Jays video's I think that he really knows his"s trade and you also see how many HD"s he is installing this system on. Thank you Volunteer Audio I am so glad that I did business with you! Your new customer from the Golden State.
Amazing radio, great Android connection and visualization. 1 question thou: i have a Android phone and a helmet with integrated audio speakers and mic, usually paired with the phone. How do I make it work so I can answer calls and listen to map directions an my helmet but still liste to music on the bike speakers? What pairs to what?
While using android auto some have reported they can cast the navigation prompts or calls to helmet straight from the phone. The official answer is their radio does not support headsets but some of our customers have made it work. Keep in mind some android phones have dual Bluetooth chips
@@volunteeraudio is there a way to get Android Auto without the Bluetooth "magic box"? I've tried to connect the USB wire directly to my phone but it reports an error with the system or software... I don't mind to connect it "physically" and not wireless, as long as it works
04 roadglide. Installed the soundstream from y’all and fairing won’t go back on correctly. It’s hitting the headlight plug with the added plug n play harness on back of soundstream. Won’t let me hook the top part of fairing without grabbing the new added harness.
Give us a call, I guarantee it is your harness placement, not the radio, 1-844-30AUDIO. I install these almost daily and can share pictures of proper harness routing, you can also watch our step by step amp install video where we go over wiring placement on your same bike

Hello again. Just one more question please: by this HDHU9813 RG do you have also “right” handlebar controls on the apps on screen as the V2 (2014 later)? I saw that first you select sources and setting bar by finger on screen then you control by left hand. Is there not full free hand controls left as right? Thanks
Great Video. I have RG CVO 2013 anniversary with two boom audio amps from factory , does this head unit works for my bike on plug and play or it needs any extra harness ? Do u ship to United Arab Emirates ?
@@volunteeraudio Hello , just received my unit today, is there anything that I need to do specially for my CVO road glide 2013 for boom audio amps to operate well or just regular installation ?
@@rabiemabdo if you have the mtx factory amps it is plug n play, if you see a Harman branded amp it would have been a dealer added amp and you will need to call us before install
@@fabioeye8552 Most 1998-2013 Road Glide CVO models have factory MTX branded speakers and amplifiers. Some have no factory amplifiers. If your CVO Road Glide has no factory amp or has the MTX branded amplifiers then this radio will be plug n play and retain the factory amplifiers. Rarely we see CVO Road Glide models with a Harman Branded amplifier mounted under the Tour Pak of Limited models. These amplifiers can not be retained and must be replaced and rewired. All of these have a Harman branded radio which is not what we are looking for. You need to check the amplifier brand. For more information call us at 1-844-30AUDIO.
Hi. Thanks for your infos. The official specs about my bike talk about: “A Custom’s premium Harman Kardon® audio system includes two 200 watt amplifiers-one driving two tweeters and two 5x7-inch MTX speakers in the fairing, the other for the two-way, 5x7 inch MTX saddlebag speakers”. Then I’ve just checked today my bike and at rear and I confirm that it gets MTX amplifie ( I suppose the same for saddlebag’s speakers) but really I don’t know if the same for front fairing. I should disassemble the front and check it out 0:0
Hi, amazing video, great information. One small question thou: i have a 2012 RGC CVO, with a Rockford Fosgate audio system installed (meaning, radio head unit radio PMX-HD9813, amplifier TM400X4ad and front + rear speakers on the bags). Do you have any idea if i replace just the radio head unit from current RF to this one, it will all work properly? Thx.
Hi. Great, thanks for the feedback. I did as you told me and followed your instruction videos to assemble all and it works... however it comes out a lot of static noise. I kept the Rockford Fosgate amp and the speakers, but the static noise if too much. Any ideia how to eliminate it? If needed, I can send some pics of it all. Once again, thank you.
If i want to connect my phone for maps but run my music on bluetooth headphones or im a bluetooth helmet instead of through my speakers is that possible?
@@basedhardhands you can not connect a wireless headset to this radio, not possible with this model. When your phone is connected to the radio to display maps the phones Bluetooth is disabled and unable to connect to a headset

I really like all the functionality and looks of the radio, However I am very skeptical of the sound quality. The demo of the music you played sounds as tinny and crappy as the HD factory system. I would love to hear more base and less clipping.
You would need to listen to one of our many many walk away videos that use Soundstream reserve radios, we build hundreds of motorcycles each year that sound amazing, most of these builds use Soundstream reserve radios
is the need for an amp and speakers required? my 2011 speakers suck; of course. the audio systems on the new ones are much better. and I can actually hear them going down the road. But why buy a new bike for a system? I need speakers bad! can and is this system good enough just to do speakers with no amps required. If I want a better sound to my ears id go bluetooth directly in my helmet.
