Built to fit your bike
Jensen Heavy Duty designed their HD1BT digital media receiver to fit directly into a Harley-Davidson factory dash opening — no brackets, no special mounting kits, and no splicing required. The factory harness plugs directly into the back of this receiver, so you'll be able to enjoy outstanding audio performance while using your Harley's factory handlebar controls. If you really want to enjoy your road tunes while you're touring around on your Electra Glide, Road Glide, or Street Glide, this Jensen is the ideal receiver for your lifestyle.

Ready to rock and ride
The fact that this water-resistant receiver fits perfectly on your Harley touring bike is terrific, but the number of features Jensen fit into it might be even more impressive. In addition to an AM/FM/Weather tuner with plenty of presets, the HD1BT sports built-in Bluetooth® connectivity, iPhone®/iPod® compatibility, and SiriusXM capability (tuner and subscription sold separately). Handy AUX and USB inputs mean you can also use a music player or thumb drive to enjoy your MP3 and WMA files.
Get the sound you like
The HD1BT features bass, treble, and fader controls, along with five tone presets. The mute button kills the audio instantly for those times when the music isn't what you need to hear. When you want to expand your system with outboard amps, you'll appreciate the 4-channel preamp outputs found on this versatile receiver.
