Motorcycle Radios

Motorcycle radios and Bluetooth receivers are for riders who want a usable audio source without guessing at fit or controls. Choose a vehicle-specific digital media receiver for a replacement source, or a compact Bluetooth receiver when you want to keep the existing radio setup simpler.

Harley-Davidson Digital Media Receivers

Start with the bike's model year and the radio opening. The Rockford Fosgate PMX-HD14 covers select 2014-2023 Harley-Davidson models. Diamond Audio also offers the MSHD14 for 2014-2023 Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles. For older bikes, the Diamond Audio MSHD9813SG is a plug-and-play receiver for 1998-2013 Street Glide models. The MSHD9813RG is the matching Road Glide application. Confirm the exact year, model, and opening before selecting a receiver.

Vehicle-specific radios simplify the source-unit swap, but factory audio details still matter. Check whether the bike has a factory amplifier and how its handlebar controls connect. Compare receiver inputs and outputs with the rest of the system. A mismatch can leave controls inactive or limit how the new source connects to existing amplifiers.

Bluetooth Receivers and Handlebar Controls

A Bluetooth receiver suits a bike where phone streaming matters more than a full radio replacement. Some units pair the receiver with a rocker switch, giving you physical control without reaching for a phone while riding. The Diamond Audio BTR2 is a Bluetooth receiver, while the BTR4 combines Bluetooth reception with rocker-switch control.

• Mounting space: Measure the radio opening, panel area, and switch clearance.
• System connections: Match receiver outputs to your amplifier and speaker setup.
• Controls: Identify factory handlebar-control needs and the switch location you can reach safely.
• Install parts: Account for brackets, wiring adapters, and other accessories required by the bike.

Plan the Complete Motorcycle Audio System

Lay out the source, amplifier, and speakers together before installation. That keeps wiring routes organized and helps prevent replacing parts that do not work together. For the rest of the system, pair your source with motorcycle speakers, add power through motorcycle amplifiers, or plan the connections with motorcycle wiring kits.
