Sony XAV-AX7000 Harley-Davidson Installation | 2014+ Harley-Davidson | Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 

I’ve had a Sony in my bike now for a yr and a half. When it’s dry, it works like a charm, as soon as I get caught in the rain or wash my bike it shorts out. It DOES NOT LIKE TO GET WET. Being a bike rider, sometimes it’s unavoidable to ride in the rain. I’m now looking at a sound stream that is waterproof. Love the stereo but it was made for a car and not a vehicle that can get caught in the weather.

I just found where this radio will not power up the Boom external amp installed on my 2014 Limited. That being said, I've ordered the radio anyway because of the internal 400W amp in the radio. Can't wait to get the radio installed and up and running! Great video.

Just ordered from ya so saving this to see how I do.... 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

So Good Thank You

How do y’all only have 42 subscribers!?! Awesome video and I will be ordering my new radio from y’all next paycheck! It’s frustrating that Harley doesn’t support Appleplay for the older GT6.5 radios :(

Excellent vid. Thanks. Now with the XAV 7000 being installed in a lot of dressers are you hearing about any water damage issues? I want to seal mine, but I'm worried about overheating it. Excellent vid. Thanks.

Does this allow for the use of a CB radio like the HD Boom Box. I am guessing not but I hope so. One of the best functions of my boom box is that I can communicate with other bikes while on the road. Sure I can call them and talk via phone but the CB is a quick communication device that allows for fast connectivity and instant response for users.

What about trouble shooting if forward controls don't connect?

I understand the video was edited, what is time frame start to finish, for the install. I just received the new head unit from you guys and anxious to get it installed.

Would I have to upgrade the charging system?

After jumping though hoops to install this into my best friends 2006 Electra Glide Ultra Classic with the very poorly manufatured Metra double din inner dash kit ... The Radio having many glitches It finaly failed after the first time out in the rain heading to Sturgis 2022 so now he's ridding back to Florida without tunes. The entire experience with Metra customer service was a bust! they never addressed any of are concerns about the fitment isues so I dont recomend going this route if you have a older bike. As far as the Sony we did contack them and they told us that the radio IS NOT waterproof and they were right! the screen malfuntion and screen became water logged and the radio failed just out of warranty when it encountered the first rain on the road. The factory radio lasted in full working condition till the day I removed it for this install. When the bike gets back we will have to find a replacement for it.

I have a currently have a 2019 street glide, it has a 4.3 boom radio head unit (the pre navigation model) I have the Rockford fosgate stage 2 setup with the speakers and amplifier (the Harley Rockford amp that mounts in the bag) I would love to upgrade the head unit. Can I install this Sony head unit and still use the Rockford stuff?

Can I install this Sony on my 2014 ultra limited with the boom audio stage 1, this was factory installed with saddle bags speakers too.

GPS antenna not connecting?

I have a 2017 street glide special basic model without touchscreen. Will this still work?

I bought a 2018 road glide special with this unit installed in it. Every time I try to connect my phone to use auto android it says USB 1 not connected, USB 2 not connected. the UI doesn't have the android auto icon on it. Is this a common issue or something I may be doing wrong? thanks

I put this on a 2017 SGS. Volume controls were working but now they don't. Did the reset but still not working. Advise???

Can you help me with my 2018 CVO street glide?

Will this work with a boom 2 system?
