:shocked: What year and model is your Spyder? They didn't offer the RT back in 2008...
Acting on the assumption that it is an RT though... The OEM system would easily offer up the best integration with your bike... You can often find the needed pile of parts at discounted prices on EBay, so shop carefully and wisely.:thumbup:
You also might want to check and make sure that your dealer will install an accessory item that they didn't sell to you; I've heard of some dealers who won't do the work if they didn't make the sale... :gaah:

That's what I was thinking. I didn't think RTs were out in 08?

If it is an RS as I suspect being an 08 model I would suggest what I did. I added a Garmin 550 GPS ($450) and a XM antenna for it ($100). It mounts on the handle bar (mount supplied with the unit) and provides, GPS, XM Radio, and an MP3 player as well as telephone blue tooth connectivity. It's all in a pretty compact package and easy to install. You can use a blue tooth helmet or earbuds to hear the sound. You could hook up a small preamp and speakers as well.

you can also get a scala rider that attaches to your helmet and has speakers in your helmet and also has fm radio and bluetooth connectivity. do a search for scal rider and there is plenty of info on the web.

I have the RS 09 series. What speakers and can you show me a pic of the installation on your bike?
