SoundStream HDHU.V2 8.3” Plug & Play Head Unit With Wireless Apple CarPlay And Android Auto For 2014-2023 Harley Davidson® Touring Motorcycles

Features

Wireless Apple CarPlay® — Full iPhone Integration Without Cables

Apple CarPlay® on the SoundStream Reserve V2 connects wirelessly — no cable required, no cable to damage from vibration or weather. Once your iPhone is paired, it connects automatically each time you ride. The V2's 8.3-inch display becomes an extension of your iPhone: Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts, calls, and messages all appear in the CarPlay interface, designed specifically for easy viewing and single-glance operation. Control everything via touchscreen or via the OEM handlebar controls retained through Maestro® integration — your eyes and hands stay on the road where they belong. Siri® responds to voice commands for fully hands-free operation at speed.

Wireless Android Auto® — Google Assistant and Full Android Integration

Android Auto® connects wirelessly and brings your Android apps to the V2's screen with no cable needed. Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, and messaging apps are all accessible from the display or via voice. Google Assistant handles natural voice commands — ask for directions, send a message, check the weather, or find the nearest fuel stop without taking your hands off the bars. Real-time traffic data through Waze or Google Maps keeps you on the fastest route, displayed clearly on the 8.3-inch screen.

8.3" Quantum QLCD — 1000 NIT Ultra-Bright Touchscreen

The 8.3-inch Quantum QLCD touchscreen runs at 1000 NITs — bright enough to remain clear in harsh Australian sunlight, with wide viewing angles and fast touch response. Maps, gauges, and menus are easy to read at a glance without needing to lean in. The larger-than-OEM screen makes a genuine difference on long rides where you're checking navigation frequently. Night brightness adjusts automatically so the display doesn't blind after dark.

iDataLink® Maestro® Integration — OEM Gauges, Controls, and Amplifiers

With an iDataLink® Maestro® RR or RR2 module connected (sold separately), the SoundStream Reserve V2 gains full two-way communication with the Harley's CAN bus. Up to 10 real-time digital gauges are displayed on screen — choose from more than 50 available parameters including oil pressure, engine temperature, gear position, battery voltage, fuel level, and more, subject to the data available from your specific bike. Pop-up alerts notify you of critical readings so you're aware without needing to watch the gauge screen continuously. OEM handlebar thumb controls are retained and fully programmable for scrolling, selecting, and adjusting playback and settings. The V2 also activates Boom!™ Stage 1, Stage 2, and Harley Premium Audio OEM amplifiers on supported models — preserving the factory amplifier investment. The wiring harness is pre-configured for Maestro® RR and RR2 connection.

Built-in GPS Navigation — iGo Primo® with Offline Capability

The Reserve V2 includes iGo Primo® GPS navigation, which operates independently of mobile coverage — useful when riding in areas where data is unreliable or unavailable. Note that Australian maps are not pre-loaded; maps and points of interest for Australia are available for purchase and annual update through Naviextras.com. The unit uses the OEM GPS antenna where the bike is fitted with one; an aftermarket antenna is available for bikes not so equipped.

For most Australian riders, Apple Maps or Google Maps via wireless CarPlay or Android Auto provides a more current, more detailed, and more practical navigation experience. The built-in iGo system is the backup when your phone isn't an option.

Wireless Headset Integration — Rider and Passenger Audio, No WHIM Required

The Reserve V2 connects directly to OEM and aftermarket Bluetooth® headsets and helmets without a Harley WHIM module — simplifying installation and removing a common point of failure. Pair up to two headsets simultaneously, covering both rider and passenger. Configure the headsets to receive GPS navigation prompts, music, or both — so you're not fighting navigation call-outs over the music at volume. Particularly useful on long two-up touring rides.

Rally Mode™ — Group Ride Broadcasting for Up to 300 Riders

Rally Mode™ turns the Reserve V2 into a broadcast hub for your group ride. Stream your playlist to up to 300 riders within 100 metres (330 feet) — all riding to the same music simultaneously. Riders with Rally Mode-equipped head units or accessories pair to the principal broadcaster's stream; the broadcaster controls the music, paired riders listen in. Name your stream so your group knows which bike to connect to. There's no limit on the number of users who can pair to a single broadcaster — Rally Mode's architecture is designed for large groups, not just pairs.

Serious Audio Performance — 400W Class-D with Full DSP

The Reserve V2 is built for proper motorcycle audio system performance, not just background playback. The built-in 400W peak 4-channel Class-D amplifier is 2-ohm stable — enough clean power to drive high-performance fairing, lid, and bag speakers directly, or to serve as a head unit in a multi-amplifier build. Five-volt RCA outputs for front, rear, and subwoofer channels give downstream amplifiers more signal to work with, reducing noise at high volume. The 15-band digital equaliser includes preset and custom settings. High-pass crossovers operate independently for front and rear channels; low-pass and subsonic crossovers cover the subwoofer RCA output.

Rear Camera Input

An RCA video input with 12V trigger support and an on-screen shortcut allows connection of an aftermarket rear-view or reverse camera. The camera feed displays on the V2's 8.3-inch screen, triggered automatically on reverse or manually via the shortcut. Pairs directly with the HD Vision V2 rear camera for a clean, integrated solution.

Bluetooth® Audio

Independent of CarPlay and Android Auto, the Reserve V2 supports standard Bluetooth® audio streaming and playback control. Stream music, take calls, or manage playback over a direct Bluetooth® connection when a full CarPlay or Android Auto session isn't needed.

IPx5 Water Resistance

The Reserve V2's faceplate is rated IPx5 — protected against direct water spray from any direction. Built for long-term use in real riding conditions: rain, dust, and wash-downs included.

SiriusXM® Ready

The Reserve V2 is hardware-ready for the SiriusXM® SXV300 vehicle connect tuner (sold separately). SiriusXM® satellite radio services are not available in Australia, but the capability is present for riders who spend time in North America or import the unit for US-market use.
