When ASA Electronics of Elkhart, Indiana, introduced the JENSEN Heavy Duty HD1BT two years ago, it was (and as far as we are aware still is) the first true Plug 'n Play replacement radio made specifically to fit into Harley-Davidson factory openings.
Built to deal with the unique environmental stresses that motorcycle audio products are subjected to day-in, day-out, it features Bluetooth technology and installs without the need for any special mounting kits, brackets or adapters with the factory harness plugging directly in to the back.
The rugged construction includes features such as the face of the unit being waterproof rated to IPX6 (Powerful Jetting Water) for safe hosing down during cleaning, with the rear chassis rated at IPX5 (Jetting Water).
The stereo's features include Bluetooth streaming audio (A2DP) and source control (AVRCP), plus iPhone and iPod compatibility with control and charging from the USB. The unit includes AUX-in, AM/FM and weather band, along with S.A.M.E. weather alert. It is also SiriusXM ready to allow an upgrade to a hidden SiriusXM satellite radio tuner and antenna and have total control from the face of the unit.
The tuner features auto-store, seek tuning and RBDS, and front and rear line outs for adding amplifiers, should the standard output of 200 watts maximum power (50 watts x 4 channels) prove insufficient. The USB and AUX-in is accessible by adding the optional JEN-AUX, which can be mounted somewhere on the dash or, with the 9ft cable, be tucked away in a saddlebag or tour pack.
Also available are high performance water-resistant, sealed design 50 watts peak power (25 watts RMS) 5.25" speakers that are a direct replacement for the stock speakers in 1998-2013 FLHT/FLHX/FLTR fairings and are said to provide an excellent frequency response along with great cosmetics.
Also seen here, these 60 watts peak power (30W RMS) 6.5" speakers are said to deliver more bass and bigger sound than the 5.25" speakers and they mount into the smaller existing holes in 1998-2013 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide and Street Glide fairings and ship with two adaptor rings that allow these larger speakers to be mounted into 5.25" factory speaker holes
Both sets of speakers are matched for, and can be packaged with the HD1BT replacement stereo and match all the factory connectors.
