Harley Harman Kardon system does it all !

The new (for 06) Harley Harman Kardon system does it all ! Radio/CD/CB/Intercom/Bluetooth cell phone/XM Radio - GPS Navigation - Some of these are optional but well worth it if you're into gadgets. It's like the internet. You never needed it till you started using it.

I installed the Nav system into my radio this weekend. Was pretty easy and took about an hour and a half. Removed the front faring, slid the nav unit into the radio, fabricated an antenna bracket (cause it didnt come with the nav system if you can believe that !) and installed the antenna (all hidden in the faring. Setup includes downloading a map (one for east US one for west) into the system thru the CD player.

Then it took like a half day for it to find itself and calibrate. But since then it has been working flawlessly. Its great ! Used it to get to Quabbin Reservoir in Ware, Mass from Cumberland, RI on Sunday. Has a display thru the radio LCD and it tells you via the Speaker system or headset what to do so you don't have to look - if your radio is on, it will mute it while giving play by play directions. Caution: dont try to figure it out while riding. Set up your destination etc while stopped using the accessory power.

The Advanced Audio GPS Navigation System or Global Positioning System, is a network of satellites that continually send and receive signals to your Advanced Audio System to inform you not only about where you are and how to get to where you are going, but also about the location of the nearest points of interest, gas stations, restaurants, and rest areas.

If you miss a turn or exit, GPS will automatically reroute you to your destination. You will know the exact location of yourself and your vehicle if you need to call for assistance. And, it can provide you with useful information such as upcoming maneuvers and updated predictions of your time to arrival.
