This is related to Road Glides:

I don't have any specific information on that unit, can tell you this though, on my '11 SERGU I had TWO Sony units put in in a two week period. Could not see screen in daylight on first unit which had CD player, second unit which had Ipod tray was a LITTLE better, but both were almost impossible to see in day light because of angle and small screens.

I will NEVER replace a factor head unit after spending that crazy amount of money and not being able to see the screens. Was sound better? Yes, but options were not accessible while riding as screen was not viewable and so small it was unsafe to try and change things on unit safely.

I am really advising you to sit on a bike with the unit you want to install first and turn it on to see what I mean about the small screen at a terrible angle.

I know HD has a lot to improve with their screen layout on the Road Glide (How about an adjustable tilt screen?) but still, it was engineered to be used on a bike, the others.....Car stereos adapted for use on a bike
