Android Auto on the 2024 Harley Davidsons 

Awesome! Let me know if you have questions!

Thanks for watching them!

Appreciate your support! We should be fine with anything that has OS V10 embedded on the AI box.

You would likely be the only one! LOL!

Yes there is hope for the system. The screen is really great but needs some more software improvement's!

@@ITFZone absolutely. Today it so long for the music to start playing, I had to pull out the main fuse, count to ten. Reinstalled the fuse and then the radio played through the speakers. Sad.

@@stuartberke5845 Wow after the update? Agree sad!

Bonjour! If the box is disconnecting I suspect the headset connection first. What are you using for a headset? May be easier to troubleshoot via email: ITFZoneEmail@gmail.com

I do agree the embedded nav is beautiful on the screen. I am anxious to do some more testing with it after this last update as before the update it was a bit of a challenge at times.

Hello, see my latest video where I feature this which at the moment is still available: amzn.to/3W2iKSL Yes you will need a headset, the AI box will show up as a headset but after the SkyLineOS update the built in headset paring does not stay connected so I am using a Maedhawk adapter. amzn.to/4btEawH Another headset option without the 3.5 mm cord that I am also using: amzn.to/3VOYFhm

Under sound and routing you can change what goes where but you can only have 1 headset paired as rider. You could try your Sena as passenger just for music.

Should be 0789

I think what you will find is that it will not display correctly with OS 11 or newer. The instrument gauges lay over the top of the Android display. Changing the screen size or layout has no effect.

@@ITFZone it's getting kinda hard nowadays to find an Android 10 adapter... Any help on this matter?

@@antmrod1972 Yep they are dwindling as we sell them out. I have not tested these but they should work, (My Affiliate links) amzn.to/4a0zmxQ or amzn.to/4bb798C I have been able to contact a couple manufactures that are showing interest in coming up with a new solution. Will see!

Hi. Any update on this matter?

LOL! I was in the zone on this one!

Yep another Camecho is out of stock. I am still trying other models out.

I would say its one of the few devices that work especially after the last SkyLine OS update. Key is to find one based on the Android OS V10 . NONE of them are perfect but do work for many.

Hello, Unfortunately these boxes will not work as they convert Wired Android Auto to wireless and since the system doesn't support AA at all this box will not connect. Only boxes that support Wired CarPlay would work, and built in android v10 for the screen size.

@@ITFZone Thanks for your response. Have you found any other wireless units that will allow AA to work other than the Camecho units that aren't available. To confirm any wireless unit for AA or CarPlay will require a headset to be present or the MAEDHawk and BCLINK devices. Really appreciate the effort you put into your videos.

Yep I got a bit detailed on this one. I tend to do this! ;)

Not 100% sure what you are looking at but this device requires support of wired CarPlay and then you pair your Android phone to the box. This is my guess.. For sure it gives you AA on a SkyLine OS screen. What a first ride! Congrats on the new bike!

@@ITFZone Not bashing and fully appreciative of your research and posting on this Non-HD (Google??) AA issue... but look at the text in the link you provided - this is a copy/paste... 4th paragraph down... - I fully agree and see that it is working with what you (and others and probably me soon) have done to make AA work. - Only wanted to flag the not working with Android bit..I can paste the text but not highlight it.... end of the 4th paragraph...

Thanks and again appreciate the research and Video!!

@@66icetek Yes I see that but it does. I think they were trying to call out that it will not work with a head unit that supports wired android auto. It will only mirror through a wired CarPlay connection..

Confirmed, yes this works but its a lot of connections and your phone will not charge fast. I have a video coming soon that would work better for this scenario.

LOL! Special once in a lifetime moment for those that make it to the end!

Awesome! Amazing how much effort this is but I am glad you have a working solution!

@@ITFZone thanks again

So I have a 23 roadglide limited with the same issue do u have a link for the Bluetooth park or witch one did u get cus yeah I am tired of fighting with it haha

@@charleswoolman7231 alxum was the one I got off Amazon

Sorry missed your response, link is: amzn.to/4cKN62v

Hello, The PTT button is likely taking over the sound from the box. I would try going to the menu - Sound - Audio Routing and change music to speakers and then back and see if it reconnects? Still a pain but would be less effort than power cycling the bike. If this works I might suggest you unpair your phone from the bike and ONLY pair it to the AI box and see if that resolves the bike taking over the sound. I have not found any need to wait for the system to boot before taking off on the bike. I have found it can take a very long time before I will hear anything from the bike. Again I am wondering if you have your phone also paired to the bike and disconnecting this may also help here. Happy to troubleshoot further, email is easier: ITFZoneEmail@gmail.com

If you are going to use an AI box you do not want to pair your phone to the bike. Just the box. Headset will have to be present.

@@ITFZone I managed to buy from AliExpress the exact same box and usb bt cable you showed on the video. I'm just "missing" the bike 😅 so I thought about getting things started to speed up the procedures for the day I'll go get it from the dealer. Hence my question.

If you pair it as a headset it will not stay connected. You cannot use this box also as a headset only the AI connection. Decline it for a headset connection.

Continues to confirm for me at anything newer than OS v10 will not work with these bikes. Which one did you obtain? The splitter is not going to work with an AI box. Only AI boxes with a passthrough port will charge a phone. SO I have a video coming shortly on this topic but in short you need another power source for the phone.

@@ITFZone I have OS v 10. Thanks. I will look into a different power source. I have A3403 Linkbox.

Now that we have the same SkyLine OS it should work. But I will confirm on an actual '24 here soon.

​​@@ITFZonemine works. I use Powerbeats Pro earbuds with the A3361 and my S21+ phone. All after the upgrades to the SkylineOS. 2024 Streetglide

All of the ones I have tested are now gone. I believe this box will work but make sure you have a return option: amzn.to/3yuQC18

I assume you have deleted the pairing on both ends? Also remove the pairing to the bike. Otherwise let’s connect in email, send me a photo of your device manager screen. ITFZoneEmail@gmail.com

Considering all that I've already done to get it to work, I'm sending you an email right away 😉😅

I am also seeing many DP '23's on the floor and one local dealer has Whiskey Neats. But the '24's seem to be selling and the stock is up but the dealers also have many of these on the floor. Did HD go to far with the technology and are they scaring away the core customer. Time will tell, I suspect we will really know here in a couple of months. I am still a fan of the ride overall. I think CarPlay is finally working better but a simple BlueTooth connection works the best.

@ITFZone no doubt the CVO 121 is sweet. I just got aggravated at being a tester. By next year it will be perfect. I like the tech, but for 50k I just thought it should work right. Over a minute to boot is just silly to me. I'm 63, I doubt I'll be getting another. I enjoy your content, it's excellent, thank you for posting.

There is hope and I would agree I suspect we will get to a stable version. Congrats on the bike and congrats on riding at 63! Enjoy the ride!

Hello! You will be looking for these links: Camecho AI Box: amzn.to/4cE0R36 MAEDHawk Bluetooth Headset: amzn.to/3TXR0xy Then you will need a USB A to USB C cable, your phone likely came with one but if not you need a quality one that supports data. This one should work: amzn.to/3PNEeiH (2 pack) This cable is offered in different lengths.

Hello Tom, i purchased the Camecho A3361 and the Maedhawk and it was a little finicky at first but it finally started working. Well sort, when everything starts to boot up i get the Maedhawk to connect, then the Camecho (as BT-B324) but then a third one pops up as AL Box. If this pops up is boots the BT-B324 out and no matter what it will not connect to it. If i click on the AL Box the only option it gives me is to connect apple carplay. When i try and reconnect the BT it boots the Maedhawk out and then no wireless headphone. Its a circle jerk after that. I shut the bike down and try it again but the same stuff happens. Any ideas? Im trying to upload a video but my phone wont let my upload a 1 min video, trying to figure this out as well.

@@craigross1737 Hello, The " BT-B324 " is the built in headset of the Camecho device. However after the last SkyLine OS update this will not stay connected as a headset so you have to use your own headset, ie the MAEDHawk. You want to decline the pairing of the BT-B324 and disconnect it from the device manager and it will work from there.

Ok, i will give it a try. Thank you.

Hello again Tom, i dont mean to keep bother you with this AA thing. So i tried to decline the pairing and delete the BT-B324, but to no avail. Whats happening now is as follows. I deleted everything in the device manager on the bike. I then paired the Maedhawk and then disconnected (unpaired) it. Then i reconnected the Camecho with the Maedhawk plugged into it. My bike finds and pairs the Maedhawk right away and then it wants me to pair the BT-B.... , i decline the pairing and most of the time it pops back up for pairing before the AL Box asks to connect to Apple Carplay. I again decline the pairing and once the AL Box asks to connect i get the spinning circle as its trying to open it, while its doing that i go into my Android Auto app and start that process, but before i can pair the AA app the AL Box boots itself off and the BT once again asks to pair. And its just a repeat of this process. It never does open AA. If by chance it does its always off to one side of the screen or part way behind the gauges. Im about ready to pull out the little bit of hair i have left out of my head... lol. Any suggestions, ideas?? Thank you.

I have hope, see my latest video, Android Auto is in he system.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dqc8FYv_LeI.htmlsi=Dzoen-ZzOLaT_1F2

So you cannot use AA but you can bluetooth connect an Android phone and use the embedded options in the infotainment system. For phone and music this works great but navigation is another story.

Not sure I am following he is referencing my video and the same headset adapter, MaedHawk: amzn.to/3xdRt5M

In my latest video I showed this one, however Amazon is showing just 1 left in stock currently: amzn.to/3W2iKSL

@@ITFZone thanks! I purchased it and it works!

You are looking for the AI box and you cannot use the BT connection. I would want to see what shows as paired in your device manager. Send me a photo in email. ITFZoneEmail@gmail.com

@ITFZone will do. I needed to walk away from it a bit but I'll send some pics when I retry. Thanks so much.

@@ITFZone Working as designed now. I'm guessing I was being impatient and not allowing everything to boot up. Fingers crossed, it's all working now. Thanks for your help with this. Wanted to give it another try before I bothered you with an email. Only issue now is charging the phone. Does not appear to charge using the USB A passthrough on the 3361, I have the BCLink Splitter but I'm afraid to unplug the box and putting it in to try charging via that USB A. Any ideas? Really finding all your videos helpful, next project is the vent modification!

​@ITFZone disregard my last. LOL Phone wasn't charging because it was fully charged. Doh! This whole thing had me feeling like an idiot. Thanks again for your assistance. Multiple rides today, AA booting up each time. Just pulled the vent cover off and plugging in the Dremel 😃

@@nkslider Awesome! Its all great when it works! But none of it is easy!

In device manager is the AI Box listed as connected? You should be able to go between the AI Box and the built in tuner.

@ITFZone I checked that and it was unplugged and it didn't show connected either.

@ITFZone also, the tuner comes up on the screen but no sound. The volume control bar goes up and down when trying to adjust the sound. The same happens when I bluetooth my phone to music. It shows the music playing, but still no sound. This is the second time I lost sound when following your video. The bike was in the shop for a garage door opener installed and came back with the sound working again. So, I'm not sure what the shop did to correct the issue.

Make sure you are not using the box as a headset. I had this issue until I stopped using it as a headset and now it works.

I'm using my helmet headset....I also used the USB/stem and it will connect but won't last long enough to actually enjoy it. Harley sucks for this one!

@@lanegrow6001 Agree HD has missed the boat on AA. Really not sure what you are running into. Would be happy to look at it further with you, ITFZoneEmail@gmail.com

Yep many are looking for an Android option. This one is still out there but its pricey and will have the same issues as the others: amzn.to/3UQ5dNH

None of them are perfect but if I have them boot to AA they mostly work. But you have to really want AA!

@@ITFZone Yes i do i really like my AA and google i did find out last night pushing the phone talk button on the right side will make my AA start after if fails to start or hiting the menu button.

@@BtheRiderPA Yes I have seen this work as well. Glad its still worth the effort for you. I think overall this solution works. Are you a '23 CVO or '24 owner?

@@ITFZone 2024 Road Glide

Merci de votre soutien!

Correct the Boom System still supports Android Auto. Which explains why other manufactures with original systems still support it. Harley maintains Google has said no to motorcycles with the next generation of infotainment systems or is it some other issue?

I plug mine in in my 2024 RG and it didn't work. I don't care for wireless Android auto I just want the Android auto to work. Did you have to do something else to make the Android auto work? Thanks in advance

@@racer2282670 No. I just make sure it's plugged in prior to even turning on the ignition, and it automatically connects as Autoplay. Also make sure your phone is paired to the radio.

I will have to try this again, before the SkyLine OS update this did not work but I have not tried since the update but will.

Harley, Google or Apple. But there is hope it will one day show the Android Auto icon!

No it was google who decided not to support android auto on 2 wheels anymore

@@FarmerTheOG That is completely not true, the story that Google doesn't support motorcycles is what they want you to believe. The truth is that Google has never supported motorcycles or any other vehicles, Google is completely open source. AA is available on the New Honda's.

Hello, Yes the boxes with Android OS V10 are quickly disappearing. I am testing a couple that are still out there, one is coming in today. I plan to post an updated video on this topic this weekend.

@@ITFZone yeah i pick up my bike saturday and id love to have my android auto work like it did on my 23 street glide

@@ITFZone so dumb hell might have to break down and buy a dang i🤢phone

@@josephethanprice9948 Few have ended up doing so. Its a lot of pain for Google Maps! I will say even though I have an iPhone I am really just using the Bluetooth pairing for music / phone. The built in navigation is enough for the few times a year I don't know where I am going, but that's just me!

@@ITFZone did u find another one yet that works ?

Yes! This one works, currently 17 in stock. I am testing another one from this company as well. (My affiliate link) amzn.to/3W2iKSL

I would look on E-Bay but it is no longer an option on Amazon. I have pointed a few to this option but not one I have tested but looks to the correct specs, my affiliate link: amzn.to/457W1Yn

@@ITFZone thanks again. I ordered it.

@@petermorabito1498 Let us know!

Ok so I tried the other box you recommended. Bike needs to be in tour mode to see the android auto. I turn on the bike and let the cardo connect. Then I connect the box takes a minute or so for the it to start. Then I connect my phone to the box directly.

​@petermorabito1498 so the antfas box worked?

Oh my! Sorry to hear this. HD is helping sell iPhones. Consider an older iPhone that uses a SIM Card and then just move your card between your Android and iPhone for just when riding?

@@ITFZone I got the 15 pro max, but I don't have any apps I had before, and it's a process to download and install. It's way more than I planned on doing to have Google Maps on my screen. I am going back to my Ultra.

So yes you can, but if you stream from your phone via Bluetooth it will not be great. You would be better to use the embedded interface of the device and a true WIFI connection. I hope you intend to do this in the garage vs on the road!

@ITFZone I like listening to movies that I've already seen...I can ride the lonely highway and mentally watch the movie in my imagination

Definitely should. What specifically did not work? Happy to troubleshoot via email, ITFZoneEmail@gmail.com

Never mind got it to work. Had to use a different cable from box to bike.

Yes I would agree it is likely the mirror function and why the AI boxes above OS 10 do not work. From the Visteon documents about the screen it shows embedded AA but yes could be the same mirroring issue. Seems to me this could be corrected. I will also say some of Harley being vintage is what draws some to the brand. Good call out thanks for the comment!

At this point I doubt it. My bigger hope is they will continue to improve on the embedded map to make it more worth the opt in price.

LOL, I am not a huge fan of adapters either but it does provide those interested with options.

LOL! Sorry this stuff is not easy. Reach out I am happy to help you through it, ITFZoneEmail@gmail.com

Hey I hear you, the technology is not appealing to all. I think in part this is why the limiteds were not updated this year giving some options for tried and true.

​@@ITFZoneonly the 23 CVOs have this problem, the other 23s are just like prior years. I know, I traded out of my 23 CVO for a 23 RG ST.

Correct only the new infotainment system. The WHIM bikes do not have this requirement, yet!

Unfortunately even at this point its not clear who is to blame here. HD continues to say Google and Google has NO response. It does appear that any motorcycle manufacture that upgrades their infotainment system is not offering Android anymore. However if they are still offering their original system AA is still there, ie Goldwing or ever a 2024 Harley Limited. I fully agree this is wrong but it would be awesome if Google would make a statement.

No! No iPhone needed here.

Well at least for now. We will soon see some alternative AMP options and if there is enough support for a different screen we might see one. I think the aftermarket will still be there for those looking for something different.

Iam sure apple paid harley and Indian to make these claims. Iam sure once that's proven it will be made available.

AGREE AGREE! This new screen is beautiful but not when moving!
