Skyline OS Harley Touring Audio Upgrades
Selected 2023.5 and newer Harley-Davidson Touring models use Skyline OS and an A2B digital audio architecture, rather than the analogue signal earlier bikes used. This includes the redesigned Street Glide and Road Glide families and later Skyline-equipped variants. Other Touring and Trike models continued with Boom! Box GTS for certain years, so confirm the factory infotainment system before choosing an interface. Everything here is chosen to work with the Skyline A2B platform.
To bypass or replace the factory amplifier and obtain a clean low-level signal for aftermarket amplification, use an A2B interface confirmed for your exact Skyline model, such as the NAV-TV ZEN-H on supported Street Glide and Road Glide applications. It converts the supported A2B signal into analogue outputs while retaining Apple CarPlay, factory controls and embedded navigation where equipped or activated. Standard Skyline Street Glide and Road Glide models commonly use 5.25 inch factory fairing speakers, so build around a matched interface, amplifier and speakers confirmed for your exact model.
Choosing the Right System for Your Bike
- Confirm Skyline first: only bikes running Skyline OS and A2B need this path. Carryover Boom! Box GTS models take a different route, so check your factory infotainment.
- A2B interface: to bypass or replace the factory amplifier for a clean preamp signal, use an A2B interface confirmed for your model, such as the NAV-TV ZEN-H on supported Street Glide and Road Glide.
- Keeps the factory system: retains the Skyline screen, Apple CarPlay, factory audio controls and embedded navigation where equipped or activated.
- Factory speaker size: standard Skyline Street Glide and Road Glide commonly use 5.25 inch; selected CVO models and upgrade kits may use 6.5 inch, so confirm by exact model and kit.
- Australian stock and support: local stock, warranty handling and advice based on Australian Skyline builds.
