Another question I have since the purchase of the IS.  PO installed a clarion 6 pack.  Installation instructions provided were for the Valkyrie IS so someone made the brackets and a write up of the install.  Problem I have is the sound level is too low to hear when playing the cd even at idle.  Clarion instructions give a couple of adjustments but really did not give any increase in volume.

 Any ideas?      If this is all its got it will be removed as it is not useful while riding

I had a 10 disc changer in the Left saddlebag of my IS when I purchased it back in '02. Sound quality was excellent but I wanted the storage space more, so I ripped it out. Now I have satellite radio for 14.00/month and Bluetooth from my phone playlist on my Sena if I wish to listen to music while riding (which it turns out, is not very often). The stock speakers on the IS are not that great.

With the change in technology since the CD changer was a thing, I'd really just remove it and reclaim the space.

When every phone can hold the equivalent of hundreds of CDs of music, or barring that a stand alone MP3 player that can also hold hundreds of CDs of music and be clipped to you handlebars, and either can easily be feed into the Interstate's sound system via the aux input under the right side cover, I just wouldn't mess with a CD changer...

Just my $0.02...
