Hogtunes Universal Bluetooth Receiver
Wireless Freedom Simplified: Hogtunes Universal Bluetooth Receiver
If you love your current motorcycle radio but hate being tethered by a physical aux cord, the Hogtunes Universal Bluetooth Receiver (BTS-U) is the perfect solution. This “black box” receiver is designed to add high-quality Bluetooth streaming to any vehicle with an existing audio system. Whether you are riding a classic Harley, a metric cruiser, or even a UTV, this unit provides a seamless wireless bridge between your smartphone and your speakers.
Discreet and Weatherproof Design
Unlike bulky head units, the Hogtunes receiver is small enough to be hidden inside a fairing, under a seat, or behind a side cover. Despite its small size, it is built for the rugged motorcycle environment. The unit is fully potted and waterproof, meaning it is impervious to vibration, rain, and dust. You can mount it once and forget it, knowing your connection will remain stable through every mile of your journey.
High-Fidelity Audio Connectivity
The BTS-U isn’t just about convenience; it’s about sound quality. It features a standard 1/8″ (3.5mm) male AUX output that plugs directly into the auxiliary input of your radio. Once paired, it utilizes advanced Bluetooth protocols to ensure that the music streaming from your phone (Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora) retains its clarity and punch. It effectively turns your older factory radio into a modern wireless hub.
Simple 12V Installation
Installation is straightforward and can be completed by any DIY enthusiast. The unit requires only a simple 2-wire connection (Power and Ground) to your bike’s 12V system. We recommend connecting it to a switched power source so the receiver turns on and off with your ignition. Once powered up, pairing is nearly instantaneous, and the unit will automatically reconnect to your phone every time you hop on the bike.
