1986 Aspencade stereo

[TomD86gl1200]

Does anyone know where I can get a cd player to replace the cassette deck on my 86 aspencade,I assume one out of a car wont last and want to upgrade my sound system

[woodward]

Can we add bluetooth also?

I am picking up a bluetooth equipped helmet to handle my phone,so a bluetooth stereo would be nice also....I;m Mainly looking for a decent radio to replace the cassette deck as I have not owned a cassete tape in 15 years..

BTW..to the Wingadmin..I just wanted to tell you,you have a great site here,I am coming back into riding after 25 years off(bad wreck scared me off for a while),a friend had this Goldwing I purchased and your site has been a lot of help in getting my bike set up....Thanks

Thanks, I love hearing that what I've put together is of some use to people. Great to hear about your bike! Let us know what you find with a Bluetooth stereo.

I have an 86 Asp. also but I was thinking it might be easier to get a mp3 hook-up but have not tried. So I guess
i'm asking right now if anyone has been able to do this and make it compatable with the other audio systems on GW?

I wired my satellite radio into my bike's audio system, but I dismantled the radio in order to do it.

I was using one of the plug in to lighter socket FM modulators, it worked for a while but I wasnt happy with it. I changed to an Audiovox FM modulator, a type that plugs in between the antenna cable. A much better system.

I store my cell in the trunk that honda made fore those things.

i got one of the tape adapters at wally world for 12 bucks today for my ipod works great

[tricky]

I tried one of those but maybe my tape isnt working very well, it would quite after about two minutes.
I now use my audiovox with the gps

[judd328]

not sure mine works great so far.

I have an 85 Aspencade and had the cassette on my radio repaired just so I could keep the bike original.

I bought a Cardo Q2 Bluetooth comm system a while back and love it. Allows my wife and I to communicate on the bike. I can use my cell phone. It has an MP3 input. I clip my Ipod on my belt and have tunes right in my headset. I just got back from a 1400 mile trip to Indiana. Ran the audio from my Garmin Nuvi to my helmet. Was able to listen to directions without a problem. I also copied 8GB of my favorite tunes to an SD card and put it in the Nuvi. Was able to listen to tunes and GPS. Yeah, I had a cord running from the GPS to my helmet, but it was never a problem.

Cli-MAX Riding Gear had the best price on the comm system.
