Thanks Big Cell for your follow-up. I installed mines on Saturday and played around with it Sunday. Apple Car Play have better features than Android Auto but you can't go wrong with either. You can also access XM Radio through the app. And speaking of rain......... I got caught in it on the way home tonight from work tonight on I-20 for about 20 miles and radio worked flawlessly. Wiped it down and kept it pushing.
Great video I am so glad you mentioned that you had trouble with the Sony. I feel like I got burned doing this install on my buddy's bike with that Sony and it failed just after one rain storm. Thanks again for making this video and demoing the radio with both features Apple carplay and Android auto.
Android Auto did an update a few months back that added split screen to allow you to see Maps and music at the same time. Both Apple and Android are constantly making updates and improving their systems. Now that the SI is out I'm definitely considering getting that for my 2018 Road Glide. That one seems to solve all the short comings that I have with the plus.
Great review I've been using sound stream products for a while now and have been pleased Workman ship and customer support looks like they've hit a home run .again great job putting it to the test keep reviewing products that you think we may be interested in.
Nicely done and with your review I'm pretty sure I'm going to upgrade at Biketoberfest. One question though FHO, on your wife's bike with the Android Auto do the handlebar controls still work to do some things? You were doing everything using the touch screen.
I have the sound stream on my 13 Electra Glide. Love it. But they are expensive. The install is VERY simple to do yourself tho. Take less than 30 mins. Plug and play.
Thanks Big Cell for the review really like the video just had a couple more questions I have a 2017 RG and I still have that same factory radio and everything I’m not really looking into putting a Soundsystem in it but would love to update my head unit my two questions are I live in FL it rains a lot here when it says water resistant is it just as good as the factory one with it being water resistant plus I also wash my bike a lot and my second question is since I am updating the head unit do I have to also upgrade my charging system for this?
Did the radio work well with the factory speakers or did you have to change them and add a amp? I have a 2020 Ultra limited and I really can't stand how bad the GTS radio sounds. I found out that the equalizer on the radio was programmed a certain way from Harley-Davidson and it's nothing really you can do about it except for reflashing for amps and speakers or doing what you did.
What's good cell. Man. I need to find a better radio for mine but it's a 05 so this won't work. But man mine takes way too long for Bluetooth to hook up.
Sir, Thanks for the video info. My ? for you is can you communicate via a head set with other headsets. for example I had to add a WHIM module to use my Harley Sena and eliminate the ridiculous stock helmet cord that came with my ultra. or do I need to get a WHIM for this radio also ? thank you .
What speakers are you running soundstream gets $500 a piece for theirs. My 2014 street glide radio and speakers blow I’m gonna upgrade this winter and run the led underbody lights and wiring while the fairing is off
my buddy I bought my 17 sg off of installed a Rockford fosgate amp and speakers, this shouldn’t interfere hooking up will it?. That head unit is awesome I can’t stand my stock one. Harley’s maps absolutely suck
So do you have a link for that radio does your hand controls work with the radio? I really never heard of that one but you’re right the Sony suck for a rider they’re good for bike Night people but for riders all weather can’t beat that Harley the problems. I like this one 800 bucks
I have the Sony 7000 still love it but have been having problems with the carplay disconnecting. I have to unplug and replug the apple lightning cord from the Iphone to reconnect. Did you ever have that problem?
Ur title scared me lol but it took off my GTS 6.5 for this simply for the sound quality. Couldn’t get no one to flash it right to go with my system. Got a 19 but didn’t have the engine temp or tire pressure so won’t lose much. Now if I can get FedEx to deliver. Bike been apart since the 17th waiting on my player. Wish I knew Chris had them I could have just rode up and picked it up
@@gafieboi23 The proper flash and dsp tune on the GTS is hard to beat. If you have the harley dealerships(boom audio) flash then it's not going to sound right. The soundz techno research flash is supposedly the better flat eq curve. With you having the DSR1 you can have a custom file emailed to your phone then upload it to the DSR1. Rockford Fosgate perfect tune app doesn't work to well with cheaper Android phones but works flawlessly on apple's IOS. You need an iPad or atleast a 7plus with current software update.
Sound stream was a real deal company back when they where made in America Folsom ca to be exact still has a few chrome Picasso amps and some exact speakers new in the box 6.5 and the 5.5 but now it’s all from chiner….wouldn’t trust em
No just asking you remind me of the Cameron (Benny) but on to another story the time you and your partner rode out west and I texted you and told you how some folks were acting and you did another video and you were shaking your head in reference to don’t say that again

Dam Cell, I just gotta comment on the quality of the video itself. Very professional, even the intro was different, I’m impressed!!
Thanks
Just installed the new version for the 2008 - 2013 HD. I have a 2012 Ultra and the radio is bad ass

Glad to help
Good Looking Out Homie...this is what I've been looking at for my 2016 Road Glide Special!!!! 💪🏾
I'll wait for the updated unit with the built in Nav and XM. Thanks!
Any idea of the release date bc I like you will wait for version 2
For rite now it's all just speculation
you’re going to be close to GTS money with those added features, I’d just do the GTS at that point….
Now that I Agree
Its out now...
Still waiting on the upgrade “Si” to come in. If you have this it’s probably not worth upgrading for just gauges. Same radio.
YesSir💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥 Great review Big Cell and fire intro.

Thanks I have a RG 2015 still haven't gotten a radio, I appreciate you explaining
U will love the upgrade fa sho.
Teamwork makes the Dreamwork!!!
You got to change the title bro. Because it says don't buy the deck and you're promoting that we should buy it. Just an observation
Click bait
Bikes and Beards does the sane thing. 😂
@@k.j.8711 exactly i hate that .
That a 2Din Radio my bike is a 2013 is there anything for a 1din ?
Thanks for the review and I like the new theme and video looks good
Definitely getting it now!!!!
Great review, thanks for helping to spend my 💰.

Yes it has a totally diffuse sound

Now that I’m not sure I haven’t tried to hook up my helmet to this radio
@@FHOHNIC Thank you sir. please let me know if it is possible. Thank you
I just got one of these, its comin tomorrow (sigh). I hope it works out.
You will LOVE IT
What speakers are you running soundstream gets $500 a piece for theirs. My 2014 street glide radio and speakers blow I’m gonna upgrade this winter and run the led underbody lights and wiring while the fairing is off
I’m not sure please rephrase the question.
@@FHOHNIC what speakers did you use with your new radio?
Not Sure you'll have to contact my man's Chris Xklusive Sounds
I need that version #2 with all the bells & whistles but looks amazing.
Again until it comes it's all just hopes and wishes
Thanks for the great review!
Any idea when version #2 will be released or is that just a software upgrade for the radio?
@@FHOHNIC The new unit is on the way to my house....yes!
my buddy I bought my 17 sg off of installed a Rockford fosgate amp and speakers, this shouldn’t interfere hooking up will it?. That head unit is awesome I can’t stand my stock one. Harley’s maps absolutely suck
I dont see how or why it would
Love the new Entro!
So do you have a link for that radio does your hand controls work with the radio? I really never heard of that one but you’re right the Sony suck for a rider they’re good for bike Night people but for riders all weather can’t beat that Harley the problems. I like this one 800 bucks
Dont have a link but if you google WORLD WIDE CUSTOMS IN SNELLVILLE he gotcha. Yes hand controls work well.
Can you answer the phone while riding and the caller be able to hear you? The soundstream is suppose to have an external speaker.
Sometimes it all depends on how fast I guess
I have the Sony 7000 still love it but have been having problems with the carplay disconnecting. I have to unplug and replug the apple lightning cord from the Iphone to reconnect. Did you ever have that problem?
No sorry I didnt
Well I enjoyed the video, thanks. But WHY does the title say "Don't buy it!"????? If that's really just click bait, for shame...
Ur title scared me lol but it took off my GTS 6.5 for this simply for the sound quality. Couldn’t get no one to flash it right to go with my system.

Wish I knew Chris had them I could have just rode up and picked it up
Carlos at NVS audio or Chris Lowe at garage bagger stereo can flash your radio correctly. Do you have a DSP?
@@keithbell8690 yeah the dsr1

Would’ve been cheaper lol. Just installed my new player. Lovin’ it but gotta go back and redo all my dsp presets
Have good luck with sound stream
How about the 9813
Great review!!!
Thank you for the great information.
How do you like the Soundstream vs Sony? Was it worth the upgrade? (Apple CarPlay)
I have the Sony 7000 and it took a crap because it got wet, I’m going to be buying this one. It’s much more water resistant.
@@jwetta2129 that's exactly what happened to mine on my 2011 ultra limited. I know they're not fully waterproof but I didn't think it got to wet
What brand of spark plugs do you run in your bike? Or you do you just run the harley plugs?
Now that im sure
The Harley radio is the best radio my g
Agreed
Sound stream was a real deal company back when they where made in America Folsom ca to be exact still has a few chrome Picasso amps and some exact speakers new in the box 6.5 and the 5.5 but now it’s all from chiner….wouldn’t trust em
Great Video Cell Thanks
New intro is nice Big Cell
Thank you for the information
😂 “Y’all noisy ass”. Good review and looks like a great unit!
By the way your intro was banging! 👍
Thanks
Why do the title say don't buy it I'm lost🤔
Click bait
The wife’s bike looks like a Harley that was at wow
Very good review
Nice new intro. I see u.
What battery are you using
Its a nice 1
Again im not sure
What is wrong with the stock Radio ?
Nothing Sir
it is not the Soundstream ,it is android auto software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good content!
Great Video!
Thanks!
Sold my first one.
Big cell you have relatives in NC (Cameron)
Are u asking or telling?
No just asking you remind me of the Cameron (Benny) but on to another story the time you and your partner rode out west and I texted you and told you how some folks were acting and you did another video and you were shaking your head in reference to don’t say that again
