Motorcycle Radios

Motorcycle radios and head units for Harley-Davidson touring and bagger builds. Upgrade the head unit with correct fitment and clean integration so the rest of your audio system performs as intended.

Pick a motorcycle radio by year: 1998-2013 Harleys take the Rockford PMX-HD9813 or Diamond MSHD9813, 2014-2023 the PMX-HD14 or Diamond 7". 2024-Present bikes add wireless CarPlay. Road King has no fairing: run a Bluetooth streamer.

Motorcycle Radios for Harley-Davidson Touring Bikes

Your radio is the control center of the whole system. This collection brings together motorcycle radios and head units built for Harley-Davidson Touring models, from direct-fit replacements for 1998-2013 bikes to larger-screen options for 2014-2023 and wireless CarPlay and Android Auto upgrades for newer platforms.

Garage Bagger Stereo carries radios and displays from brands including Diamond Audio, Rockford Fosgate, Vinland, ZZ2, Soundz, Sony and MMats Pro Audio, so you can match the head unit to your bike, your budget, and the rest of your build.

A radio only sounds as good as the system behind it. Pairing your head unit with a motorcycle amplifier and speakers sized for your fairing and saddlebags gives you far more volume and clarity at highway speed than the factory setup.

Choosing the Right Motorcycle Radio

Start with your model year, because it decides which radio and interface will fit. Next, decide whether you want a direct-fit head unit that keeps the bike looking factory, or a display-based upgrade that adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.

  • Confirm model year and factory radio type before ordering
  • Check whether you need an installation kit or radio interface for your bike. See Radio Installation Parts
  • Plan for amplifiers and speakers so the radio has a complete system to drive. See Motorcycle Amplifiers
  • Add a DSP when you want tuning control over a larger build. See DSP Processors

Motorcycle Radios FAQ

Which plug-and-play radio fits my Harley?

It depends on the year. For 1998-2013 bikes, Rockford Fosgate lists the PMX-HD9813 for 1998-2013 Road Glide, Electra Glide and Street Glide (the Street Glide began in 2006), and Diamond Audio makes separate Road Glide and Street Glide units. For 2014-2023 bikes, look at the Rockford PMX-HD14, the Diamond Audio 7-inch head unit or the Vinland Rebel. On 2024-present bikes the factory radio stays, and amps connect through an A2B interface.

Does the Rockford Fosgate PMX-HD14 need flashing or support Android Auto?

No flashing is needed. Rockford Fosgate says the PMX-HD14 eliminates the need to flash your radio. It has Apple CarPlay built in, but Android Auto is not supported. It adds 4-volt front and rear preamp outputs and onboard DSP. Rockford lists 2014-2023 Street Glide and Road Glide fitment (there was no 2014 Road Glide), notes Ultra models need an extra switchpack for wired headsets, and lists Road King models as not compatible.

What does the Diamond Audio 7-inch Harley head unit need before install?

Programming. Diamond Audio builds a Maestro RR2 CANBUS interface into the radio, and it must be programmed on a computer before it goes in the bike. Diamond states the radio will not power up until it is programmed. After that you get wireless Apple CarPlay, a 10-channel DSP with time delay and crossovers, and six 5-volt RCA outputs. If you already run amps, turn every gain down before connecting.

What are the options for a bike without a factory radio?

Use a weatherproof Bluetooth streamer or a universal media center. Bluetooth streamers like the AudioControl and Metra units in this collection send phone audio straight to an amplifier's RCA inputs, so you do not need a head unit at all. Universal touchscreen media centers mount on the bars or dash. These work on Softails, trikes and custom builds as well as baggers.

Rockford Fosgate PMX-HD14 plug and play Harley radio for 2014-2023 Touring fairings

Harley Radio Upgrades by Year: 1998-2013, 2014-2023 and 2024-Present

The radio is the one part where the year decides everything. Buy the wrong year and it won't plug in.

Road King has no fairing, so none of these fairing radios fit one. A new radio also won't fix tired speakers. Pair it with a 2014-2023 plug-and-play kit if you're doing it right.

AudioControl weatherproof Bluetooth audio streamer used as a Bluetooth radio for a motorcycle without a fairing

Bluetooth Motorcycle Radio Options for Bikes Without a Fairing

No fairing, no dash opening, no problem. On a Road King, a Softail or a custom, a waterproof Bluetooth source runs the show: the AudioControl weatherproof Bluetooth audio streamer, the Metra wireless Bluetooth controller, or the MMats Pro Audio All Weather Media Center 7" screen if you want a display.

A streamer or controller is the source, not the amp. Plan the amplifier and speakers with it, or you'll have Bluetooth with nothing behind it. Want satellite radio too? The SiriusXM SXV300V1 tuner is in this collection.

More Motorcycle Radios Questions

Will a Harley fairing radio fit my Road King?

No. Road King has no fairing, so fairing radios like the PMX-HD14 or the Diamond Audio 7 inch head unit have nowhere to mount. Look at weatherproof Bluetooth streamers and controllers instead.

Can I keep the factory screen on a 2024-Present Harley and add CarPlay or Android Auto?

Yes. Soundz makes a 2024-Present wireless CarPlay adapter and the HS-5522 wireless Android Auto interface for the factory Skyline OS system.

Do I need a new radio to make my 2014-2023 Harley louder?

Not always. On 2014-2023 bikes an amplifier can take its signal from the factory radio through a T-harness, such as the Cicada HDTSLINKAR-B. The new radio is for features; the amp and speakers are what make it louder.
