Boom! Box Infotainment System: How I Set mine up │Video #1 

I had no idea about the short cut for high contrast. Here I am running around on the internet claiming to know what I'm talking about. Good info, man. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for this video. I just traded my 09 Ultra for my Dream bike a 2018 CVO Roadglide! The dealership helped me with some of the functions but this is next level. I didn't get a manual or any literature on the new bike and I've been struggling trying to figure it all out. This helped me a ton. Such a huge change from 09 to 2018. Thanks again Matt, Super Informative.

Very good info!! Thanks for coming up with this mucho needed video series. Look forward to more. Thanks. Yeah the Stage II upgrade is the way to go!

Learned a lot today with your video. You make it easy to follow and get things done, thank you !

Thanks for doing this, I have yet to play with all the features in the 2 years of owning my bike.

Another great vlog, very informative!

Keep making these. This infotainment is such a pain in the a$$ to figure out. You explain it very well Matt. Thank you. 👍🏽

Great video learned alot. Dealership set mine up but I don't like some of the stations and want to change them to stations I like.

Thank you Matt really helpful information take care

Thank you for the time ,and thank you for the color (i) tip.

Extremely helpful video. Matt I agree that most people do not get the most out of their system due to not knowing how to use it fully. My 2017 RGS provides much entertainment while riding by listening to music but I have not used the phone communication features as much. Your video will help me with this. Thanks from Ontario Canada.

Great video, well done. it's save me a lot of time to be familiar with my 2017 ultra classic. Thank's

great video...very good info!

Hey, Hi Matt, can you talk about editing favorites radio stations?

Thanks for helping me with changing my screen colour

Hi Matt. Have you put out any follow up videos to this one? I am trying to get additional information on the infotainment system and your first video was spot on!

Not sure if you've addressed this in past videos or not but for awhile, at least when I got my 16 Road Glide Special the Apple iPhone 6 & 7 technology or it might have been HD technology didn't allow the text messaging auto response feature to work. I heard it was Apple who wouldn't cooperate with HD but I couldn't set it to auto respond a pre-programmed response. I was wondering if they've worked that out as of yet. It just seemed it occurred with the iPhone 6 and later.

Great info! Thanks Matt. It seems like this system can do so much, but it feels a little complicated to get it do something simple. I have barely figure out how to play music from iphone, cabled or bluetooth, as it acts differently. USB stick is a great tip. Where do you put the CDs, thogh? Can't wait for the rest of the series. Please preface any parts that require the WHIM.

Thank you! Time to rock and roll.

Thanks Matt

Thanks Matt (per usual)......enjoyed & learned a few things for sure !.......how about a longer video on headset/wireless/etc....I have a 2018 StreetGlide(regular) & would like to set it up to use more of the electronics/etc........keep flying the H-D banner, Matt... :-)

Thanks for the video Matt. Tomorrow I will be taking delivery of my 2018 SG. I had them install the WHIM. My question is, what headset do you use. Like you, I'm thinking of using my speakers for the radio. Do you use HD's headset? My understanding is by using a non HD product, it wont play stereo. Does the nav directions and intercom system sound quality suffer that much by using a non HD sena product?

Wow, thanks for all that info. I have a slight aversion for reading the manual. ;)

Nice tips - Thanks.

Great video Matt! Do you know if there's a way to advance to the next song while in USB mode??

Awesome video Matt! It's only a matter of time before I get a bike of my own :)

I always put my iPhone X in the dash pocket plugged in on my 2015 Limited so it’ll charge and I have access to the iPod. Running a full face helmet, I’ve tried to set the audio and prompts to play thru the main speakers and telephone/intercom through the headset and it works well but I have to remember to set the VOX setting down or the headset microphone keeps getting keyed up and pausing my music. Really great video Matt thanks for making this. Ride safe

Hey Matt I like the way you've mounted your phone on the engine guard. You may have already said in another video, but what kind of mounting device did you use? Also, are you concerned about how the phone will do vs a large bug or rock hit? Thanks.

Learned a few things even though I have a manual (but in my defense it is a thick manual). LOL! A few tips I would like to pass along is I set my favorite stations on one screen. I found trying to organize in other means had me fumbling around too much while riding which was distracting me. Also, when I want to listen from my phone, I organized my music into smaller individual playlists so there is like 20 songs in the list. This way I can easily thumb through the selection from memory when riding using the handlebar 'thumb' stick without having to fiddle with my phone. I based it on the average time that my rides are. If I want a different selection, I disciplined myself in pulling over to fumble around on my phone to select a different playlist. Basically I would advise to simply it's usage especially when in traffic so as to concentrate on everything else around you cause those cagers aren't looking out for you.

have you noticed the quality of the bluetooth or flashdrive the sound quality is much better than the FM radio?

Is there a way to scroll through or find .mp3 files on a flash drive?

Thanks for helping us older farts out Matt. I was gonna take the bike to my coworker's house and bribe his kids with ice cream to set this thing up.

Matt. Can you show how to set up the SMS from the iPhone? I have been trying to set my iPhone 8 Plus

I have same radio on my 2017 how can I change oil pressure display from saying (ok) to psi reading I’ve seen a few that show it and there’s is same radio they was having problems with oil light coming on and on display it would show 14psi and would go up when gas is applied so do it only show psi when below current psi ???

Thanks for the info. Had my bike since 2013, but you've shown me some things that I didn't know__ especially the high contrast tip__I will use it the next time I ride....

I have a 2017 ultra classic with the Boom touch screen...I was using the ipod classic to play my music ...when I'm playing my music the left lower switch used to scroll to the next song..its not going that anymore..I don't know..do u have any thoughts on this??

What kind of phone holder do you have that fits on the crash bar?

Another question I have been trying to update the system and I keep getting no media found then nothing? It will not update! I have extracted all info, I have left it still as a zip file still nothing!

Rookie question, can I play music off a thumb drive via the USB and have my Bluetooth hooked in to receive phone calls? It seems like I have to pick Bluetooth or USB when I initially go to the media tab.

Do you have more videos on the GT?, I just bought a used 2018 street glide. All the videos I can find are GTS. Can you help direct me?

Matt: Can you talk about the 3 pin battery tender plug on the new bikes? My 17 RKS has the same end and not sure what the 3rd terminal does?

Any idea how to make the phone the default connection? Let's say I turn the bike off then hop on it to ride. Sometimes the audio blasts a bunch of static from the weather band. Sometimes off of the USB if I have a flash drive in. How do I get it do default to the phone at turn on without having to menu over to the media and select the phone?

Ciao, thank you for this helpful video. Can you please tell me what is the name of the handlebar you have mounted on your bike?

Hi Matt, i press the I button and my screen went dark, so i press it again to put it back to normal and i get a message that says high contrast day colors not currently available, so how do i get the screen back to normal?

It's Sept. of 2020... Did you ever make any more videos about the Infotainment system?

If I want to listen to my Boom audio while bike is parked and im working around yard, can I hook up a tender and set bike to accessory without it killing my battery?

What headphones, ear plugs, etc. Bluetooth device do you use inside your helmet? Are they specific to your helmet? If so, what brand and model helmet is it? Thanks.

I like to stream Amazon Prime music is there a way to change the music channel from the bike?

I would like to see a 2014 on a video

How can I remove presets on my 2018 CVO limited? I purchased it used. Thanks

great vid matt. what phone mount u use on crash bar?

On my 2014 trike my problem is the glare off the stereo light blinds me

Pro tip on plugging in the battery tender.....don't ask how I know. Facepalm! Great vid Matt.

Does anybody know how to play/pause bluetooth music using handlebar controls? Aside from volume down I haven't found a way, just got my street glide 2 days ago.

Great video as always. I hope you do one on how to update the software. I tried myself on my '16 Street Glide Special and I don't think I did it right.

Quick question. Is it possible to set media as the default so that it immediately switches to media once Bluetooth connection has been established? A friend's bike does this, but I can find this setting on my 2018 RG special. Thanks in advance

How do you change time

Can’t recommend the Stage II speakers enough. I could barley hear music at freeway speeds with the Stage I on my RGS. After adding the Stage II fairing and bag lid speakers and amps, it’s like sitting in a surround sound theater. Now I get copyright claims when I upload a video to RU-vid. 😂

HI Matt, have just got a 14 Streetglide special, can you tell me how you can see what the weather temp is on the screen...i saw it once and now cant find it???

Good call on the battery tender. Nothing worse then having your bike crash during a software update. In the Auto R&D industry we are constantly rewriting ECM's/TCM's etc... some of them can take 20-30 and even 40 minutes for high end vehicles. I've had batteries crash just seconds before the flash/reprogram was finished 😫

Will txt messages show up on the screen

Bro why does my Bluetooth button don't allow me to push on it it is not highlighted its somehow disabled

Great video, just wish they fix the issue of FOLDERS, i use USB to store 20gb of music, all in different folders. U would think U can search by folder but no. it puts it all together 4000 song list.

I just bought a 19 RGU and not spending another $400 for XM module. Has anyone used the XM cell phone app? If so can I just simply blue tooth my cell to bike and listen to XM? I'm just wondering if it will allow me to use the bikes controls to navigate around on XM or will I have to go directly to my phone to change channels?

Is there away to set what source is selected at start up

👍🏿❤️👍🏿

I got the 4.3 boom. when I paired my iPhone I can hear SIRI but SIRI can't hear me.... IDK why.

When I plug into the usb to charge I lose the connection and it says no playable media, iPhone?

How do you keep the radio locked on to the bluetooth, so you don't have to go to media everytime you turn the bike on, to listen to the bluetooth. When i turn on my bike, its always on the radio.

Blink 182 - two thumbs up :)

Can anyone tell me on how to find the serial # on my boom box so that i can connect to sirius xm. Thanks

own it love it

Keep the beard Matt 😎

Can you charge your phone and still use it for music? I’ve heard mixed answers on this.

really...think half the story is missing...just how is one supposed to get music from a helmet...speakers...good...but how to connect to Boom Box? WHIM, HD SENA...hardwire? What about SiriusXM...another module. a lot missing.

How do I increase the navigation volume? I can hardly hear it when it breaks the radio volume to give directions. I asked dealer they had no clue

So I'm saving like 3k to see if I could get the iron 883 , but I don't have credit at all. Why because I don't trust banks lol. Can you still get a bike like the iron 883 without credit??? Please reply

I love my face book

Too many 'this' and 'that's', somethingnorother?? get prepared please.
