The big buttons are old school but purposed for the glove wearer. No bluetooth on board but there is a USB connector in the clutch side bag. There have been a lot of adaptions from many here on how to listen to music. But, your first need is a comfortable bike for you and the wife. This is it. I would recommend first, the Steve0080 backrest extension, your wife will love it.

I rarely touch the buttons on the left panel.
