A friend of mine just picked up a very NICE 2013 RT...low miles and scrupulously maintained. He's coming off a Honda ST1300, so a bit different ride. (I have a '15 GS with Nav Prep and the wonder wheel, so while I know those controls, how they work and WHAT it controls, not sure how it applies to his new ride).
I ran the VIN for him; bike was manufactured in Dec 2012 and has equipment package 5, so ESA II, heated seat/grips, cruise, etc. No nav prep listed as either an option or installed. Does have the wonder wheel (which, for this model, I'm assuming, controls the radio and not much else?).
With the cockpit layout on this year/model RT, there is no built-in GPS unit (added in on 2014+ models). That said:
- Are there any GPS/nav options for this model year bike?
- That vid link is for Hornig for a 2013 RT; at about 0:16, it shows the cockpit and some sort of GPS unit. That cradle looks like the older 4-button side control unit...can that be retrofitted to this model/year bike?
- If that won't work, is a WunderLINQ an option? (It appears from their site that while it will work, there is no wonder wheel control of an added nav unit...).
