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

Finally installed and this fit my 2015 Roadglide perfectly. Plug and play (easy install). The USB cord from the unit was too short, but easy fix with USB to USB-C data cable to lengthen it and now I have Android Auto and Bluetooth. Looks great and even my handlebar controls work. I'd recommend, if your wanting to upgrade.

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.

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.

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.

Be sure to make sure that you contact seller for exact specification. Will NOT connect to HD Sena Bluetooth helmets. That system is $1600. Radio system is great if you need just phone connectivity. It does have great sound and easy to use.

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.

I'm here to give an honest and unbiased review because I'm qualified to do so. I have a Soundstream Reserve HD14+ that I've had since 2022 when it first came out. Within 2 years, I have had to send the unit back to Volunteer Audio twice for a blank screen and a ribbon connector issue. After sending it back the second time, I decided to give the Power Acoustik HD-14K a try because I really needed a radio and they were taking too long to return it to me. After receiving the PA HD-14K and installing it, I was pleasantly surprised how good the unit sounded on my bike compared to the Soundstream. Keep in mind, Power Acoustik & Soundstream are owned by the same company so there are similarities between the two. The Soundstream is "supposed" to be the higher end radio. The only difference in this unit and the HDHU14+ was that the PA didn't have crossover adjustments as opposed to the former. Other than that, it's pretty much the same radio. After finally receiving my HD14+ back from Volunteer Audio, I can't find the nerve to send this one back because it's been so good for the 3 weeks I've had it. Not only is it half the price but I feel it has everything I need to maximize my (2) 6.5 speakers, (6) tweeters, (2) 10 inch speakers in the bags and (2) Sound Digital amps in the fairing. I would even go as far to say it sounds better than the Soundstream. So in closing, I feel like if you're going to pay $900-$1600 for a radio(depending on the Soundstream model)then you shouldn't have all of the issues I've had within 2 years. It would be much more cost effective to settle for the Power Acoustik to be honest. At least it won't break your pockets if anything were to happen in the future. I could live with this radio lasting 3-4 years(or hopefully more)with no issues at this price point. When you're paying $1600 for a Soundstream Reserve V2, I'm sure you expect a durable product. And that's not to say I don't like Soundstream products but it's to say if there is a cheaper option that is pretty much the same then why not opt for that. Times are rough and we work too hard for our money to get a subpar product at a premium price. Hope this review helps.
