General Information And Notes - Biketronics BT1000 Installation Instructions Manual

Congratulations on your RetroRadio purchase! RetroRadio ties almost
any Sony in-dash AM/FM, CD/MP3 player to your 1996 to present
family of Harley Electra Glides® and Road Glides® with handlebar
radio controls. Even the speed sensor signal is used to automatically
control the volume! An advantage of using Sony radios is the ease to
incorporate the newest audio devices such as USB, satellite radio, GPS,
Bluetooth or iPod/MP3 units with the radio system at reasonable costs.
Should you have questions regarding your RetroRadio, feel free to call
