Cicada Audio — 2024+ Harley Touring
Cicada Audio for 2024 and Newer Skyline Harley Touring
Skyline OS and the new digital audio architecture debuted on the mid-year 2023 CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide, then expanded to the redesigned standard Street Glide and Road Glide platform for 2024. The audio moved from an analogue signal to an A2B digital architecture. This collection focuses on Cicada systems and components for the 2024 and newer Skyline platform: amplifiers, speakers, DSP and A2B integration packages that connect through a compatible A2B interface and Cicada harness.
Cicada amplifiers and speakers do not themselves read the A2B stream: an amplified Skyline build takes a clean low-level signal from a compatible A2B interface such as the NAV-TV ZEN-H (currently documented for supported 2024 to 2025 applications), then the Cicada amplifiers, speakers and DSP connect as they would on an earlier platform. Standard Skyline Street Glide and Road Glide models commonly use 5.25 inch factory fairing speakers, while CVO and selected higher-spec models use 6.5 inch positions, and platform-specific 6.5 inch upgrade kits exist for compatible standard fairings, so confirm the factory pod and the kit rather than nominal size alone.
What to Know Before You Choose
- A2B integration packages: Cicada amplifiers, speakers and DSP supplied with, or designed to connect through, a compatible A2B interface and Cicada harness.
- Works through an A2B interface: connects to Skyline through a compatible A2B interface such as the NAV-TV ZEN-H, documented for supported 2024 to 2025 applications.
- Coordinated system: Cicada amplification, speakers and DSP can be selected as a coordinated system around a compatible third-party A2B interface.
- Model-matched fitment: standard 5.25 inch positions, while CVO and selected higher-spec models use 6.5 inch, for the redesigned fairings.
- Australian stock and support: local stock, warranty handling and advice based on Australian Skyline builds.
FAQ
How does Cicada integrate with a Skyline bike?
An amplified build takes a clean low-level signal from a compatible A2B interface such as the NAV-TV ZEN-H (documented for supported 2024 to 2025 applications), then the Cicada amplifiers, speakers and DSP connect as on an earlier platform. See the audio integration interfaces.
What size speakers do 2024 bikes use?
Standard Skyline Street Glide and Road Glide models commonly use 5.25 inch factory fairing speakers, while CVO and selected higher-spec models use 6.5 inch positions. Platform-specific 6.5 inch upgrade kits exist for compatible standard fairings, so confirm the factory pod and kit rather than nominal size alone.
Can I build a whole system from Cicada?
Yes. Cicada makes amplifiers, speakers, DSP and complete kits for the Skyline platform, designed to work together. See the complete kits.
Do I keep CarPlay and navigation?
Yes. The A2B interface keeps the factory Skyline screen, Apple CarPlay and embedded navigation where equipped, while feeding the Cicada system.
