Amplified Audio - Hear the Difference

A key feature of the BEHDIN98 is its integrated amplifier. This eliminates the need for an external amplifier, saving space and simplifying installation while delivering powerful, high-quality sound. With 72 watts of peak power, your music will be loud and clear, even at highway speeds. This is achieved through Class A/B amplification, a technology known for balancing power and sound quality, providing clean audio with minimal distortion. Many riders report a significant improvement in sound quality compared to their factory-installed systems, especially at higher volumes.

Weatherproof Design - Ready for the Open Road

The open road can be unpredictable. Whether you’re caught in a sudden downpour or cruising through dusty terrain, the BEHDIN98 is built to endure. The front panel boasts an IPX6 rating, meaning it can withstand powerful water jets from any direction. The chassis also has an IPX4 rating, protecting it from splashing water. This robust design ensures your receiver stays protected, no matter the conditions. This is a crucial feature for motorcycle audio, as traditional receivers are often vulnerable to damage from the elements.

Embrace the convenience of wireless technology with the BEHDIN98’s Bluetooth connectivity. Stream your favorite playlists from your smartphone, take calls hands-free, or enjoy audio navigation prompts – all wirelessly. This feature enhances both convenience and safety, allowing you to keep your focus on the road. The BEHDIN98 also supports popular music apps like Spotify and Pandora, giving you access to millions of songs on the go.

User-Friendly Interface - Intuitive and Easy to Use

Navigating through your audio options is a breeze with the BEHDIN98’s bright 3-inch monochrome LCD display. The display is easily visible even in direct sunlight, and you can customize the button illumination with selectable white or amber colors to match your Harley’s dashboard. The simplified interface, with large buttons and clear labeling, is designed for easy operation even with gloves on.

Plug-and-Play Installation

The BEHDIN98 is designed for straightforward installation. It’s compatible with the factory wiring harness in 1998-2013 Electra Glide & Road Glide models, making it a true plug-and-play solution. This minimizes installation time and complexity, allowing you to get back on the road and enjoy your upgraded sound system quickly. However, some users have reported difficulties with installation due to variations in factory wiring. It’s always recommended to consult the installation manual or seek professional assistance if needed.

Switchable Tuner - Global Compatibility

The BEHDIN98 includes a switchable tuner, allowing you to adjust the receiver to receive radio broadcasts in both the US and Europe. This is a valuable feature for riders who travel internationally or import their bikes.

Zero Current Draw Memory - Preserve Your Settings

This receiver features zero current draw memory, meaning it retains your settings and presets even if the battery is disconnected. This prevents the frustration of having to reprogram your favorite radio stations and audio preferences every time you disconnect the battery.

The BEHDIN98 is built to withstand the harsh outdoor environment. The front panel is UV protected to prevent fading and cracking from sun exposure, while the chassis is coated with ZAM (Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium) for superior corrosion resistance. This ensures the longevity of your investment, even with regular exposure to the elements.
