Anyone ever put a different radio on thier Intersate?
Rider89:
I'm thinking about changing the radio on my intersate. I mainly listen to my iPod and sometimes FM channels.
I've been having issues with my radio recently and now it doesn't work at all. I cant set the clock and not radio. :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
I thought I remembered a Valker swappping out or adding a radio to thier Interstate, but I cant find the article.
Any help?
What about the guys/gals that have turned thier standards or tourers to I/S mode?
I added a 2wheels tune speaker system to my standard a few years ago, but I'm not sure how I'd do that with that with the radio on the I/S.
I'm assuming any aftermarket system would come with its own wiring harness and I'd just have to hook it to power, a switch and new speakers...but we know what happens when we assume.
DFragn:
I have a Sony wired into my Tourer. It used to be in a saddlebag until I installed a fairing.
They pretty much wire-up like a car.
I don't think you'll find any system capable of sending a signal to your OEM LCD readout in your fairing or tying in the controls. I would find an OEM stereo from crash victims. Pinwall on e-bay is a start.
Kingbee:
If you want to retain your Interstate display and controls, your best bet would to replace the radio with a good used unit. They often appear on eBay, or you could check with Pinwall....
Big IV:
you could always find a radio installer in your area. Pull upbeside of one of those annoying Grand Tarismo cars that are pumping and blaring and ask them who is good and cheap, they'll usually know.
Takes the nervousnes out of it.
I have installed a few non-bike stereos. On the wife's car I wanted a hidden antenna and a few other things that I didn't think I could tackle, so I let someone else do it. I was happy. The antenna that my wife bought (the one she wanted) turned out to be crap, but it is well installed, nice clean installation.
Rider89:
Thanks DFragn and Kingbee.
I saw your set up DFragn when I ran into you at Des Plains Honda last year, you were with Kingbee. I was picking up my I/S then.
I liked it.
I'll check with Pinwall and if that fails, I'll find a Sony or Blaupunkt car system and make it go. I'm not real concerned with the display on controls, just the occasional local stations or my iPod for the long trips.
Thanks, stay warm...spring is right around the corner.
