The BOOM! Box GTS infotainment system walkthrough tutorial 

Thank you for posting it. Excellent presentation.

Picking a 2020 ultra limited in a few weeks can't wait man this system does a bunch of stuff sweet

Nice video and extremely in depth, only one I can find on the newest system to date! Love it guys thanks

Thank you man. Good basic walk-through and I learned a lot.

Thank you, well done and easy to follow. i sure needed this.

Great job man! This was the most informative video I've seen on the 6.5 Boom Audio. Just watched Ryan Urlacher and he goes around the world to tell you nothing and wants your money to boot!! Keep up the great work!!

Just bought a 2019 CVO Limited and have been learning a lot on the BOOM Box system. Been having issues and they upgrade to software and finally got the blue tooth headsets to pair. Still haven't figured out the contact sync odd ball things happening. The dealer was totally up to speed for the 2019 system. The online manual for the BOOM it self is huge. Don't know why they don't give it out with the bike. Cost $20 for a hard copy. After what I spent for the CVO you'd think they would have included it. Anyway I thought some of my findings might help others. So it's great that you can get Apple car play by plugging it your phone. But be aware that the compartment on the CVO limited where the connecter is will NOT fit the large apple phone like my 6 plus. So now I've got to figure out some place to mount the phone and run the cable to it. I'm thinking I'll get a little lower fairing bag and will put the phone there and run the cable up. Short sighted design that if they programmed all that was needed for car play that you can't actually store the phone there. One other note on the CB. We tried for a long time to hook up my headset to the HD CB and was able to transmit but couldn't receive audio. Just confused us. Turns out the bike actually have to be running for the CB to fully function. Not for the other older bikes. But for my 2019 that's the case. Finally a shout out that I just got back from a trip actually tried to stop there at Owens but it was closed on Sunday. Surprising as the Seattle stores are all open. Any way I came home and found this review. Found it very informative.

Great information on functions and how to operate.

A nice video of the back of your hand!

Great Job one of the best tutorial walk throughs on here thank you

Fantastic! Thank you for this

I can't wait to get my hands on this.

Fantastic vid!

Great overview! Thanks!

Nice review, just got the trike here in aus, what a ripper system.

Very informative. Thank you!!

Thank You "SO" much for this video; your time and effort is greatly appreciated. I just got a new 2019 Harley Tri-Glide Ultra Classic and this will be such an asset.

Thank you , you saved me a lot of stress . 👍

Nice info.Just purchased 2019 Street Glide. Very useful for me just getting used to bike. Thx.

Very helpful 👌 thanks

I don’t know why I appreciate so much old technologies. I use paper maps, old watches, no cellphones, no musics, ... I liked the feeling when I succeed to start my carburetor engine with smoke from fuel, loud pipes and car alarm system sound in the background.

Thank you very much.

Very nice.

Liked & subscribe, thank you for making this very helpful video.

You have a great attitude. Dealership is lucky. USMC/USAF Ret.

Thanks dude

nice job,,,thanks

Thanks!

great tutorial on the boom!! thanks!! I don't want the music to pause when I'm using the GPS - how do I turn the sound off completely for the GPS?

Thank you for the nice review of this system. The GTS was a major reason why I purchased a new bike. The previous 6.0 system was better than the previous nothing offered. This system is comparable to what is offered in high end automobile systems. I wish the wire headset interface module was included, but there are a few frugal options out there if you need to go cheap. I expected a few complaints, but that is normal for owners of Harley Davidson’s.

Ty 👍👍👍🍺😎

When you select the time on the clock, how do you save it

I have a new bike on order 2021. I'm installing a CB as well as the wifi add on. with my bluetooth head set will I be able to get bike info (tunes, navigation etc) through my head set as well as inbound calls and bluetooth to my fellow riders?

thank you for this. One question ... can it be set up so upon powering up it goes to navigation automatically instead of radio or USB ?? it kinda drives me nuts and I cant figure it out. Thanks

Any how to delete a trip when you are in the middle of it and decide to program another on the new 2019 w/ whim and apple car play?

So. I’m not sure how to change the input. Does the music from my phone just do the auto connect or is there a way for me to manually connect it?

I've got a 2020 trike with the GTS system and i have one simple question: Are you able to mute the radio or other media using cursor controls other than just "touching" the mute button with a finger...difficult to do while riding.

At 17:55... Does ANYONE know how to reset that screen? I looked in manual and didn't see it. I tried resetting my trip A and trip B with the reset button on left hand controls. And nothing. It some how will reset itself but i would like to do it myself so I start and stop it when i want... 🤔

I have a 19 road glide special. I want to know if there is anyway to put the temp down by the compass or do you have to go to the info screen to see it?

You can retro fit to 14 up bikes, soundz do a unit , plug an play.

Question I have the 2024 rg3. I have the Hd Sena Bluetooth helmet. When I go to audio routing, I leave the music/media on speaker and set the phone on headset. When I start out everything including music goes to the helmet. I do not have a whim and not sure if that affects it. I’m looking to use helmet to answer the phone , and have speakers on bike for music. Any help would be appreciated. TY

How do you reset the trip summary on the radio?

Here's a question I haven't found reference my GPS on my 2019 HD Tri-Glide Ultra. I've taken sum trips and though the I can get the GPS to to route my course/destination...I can't get it to vocally tell me!? I have to continuously look down at the screen, to see when my next turn is? Or the distance to my next turn? Is there a way to get my GPS to voice activate, like in my cars, or phone?

Minute 17:56 and on...how is the summary uploaded to the phone? And when stoping ,can you see if you turn the bike off...and does it work only after you use the GPS to a destination?

On the 2022, I have to log into my Bluetooth everytime I turn bike off. Does it not automatically play when turning bike back on without having to go into settings and doing all that??

Hi, everyone I am from Brazil and I am having problems with my 2019 Road Glide Special Boom Box GTS. The Boom Box display is glitching and having kind of magnetic interference like, and the display also had been dislocated a few millimeters to the right. I really do not know what is going on. A few days ago I updated the software and the problems was temporarily gone for a while but, it comes back again. Any thoughts would be good to help me.

Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see in the Video how to hook up the head set on A 2021 bike. Could you please explain That procedure thank you

Great explanation of the system! However, your hand was in the way. Should have used your other hand.

How can I set it up and keep me on the four-lane wants to jump me off the interstate every chance it gets

I have a 19 FLTRXS with stage 1SE and Rhineharts true duels. The system I something. Else I recommend learning to use controls on the bars since even though I have long arms reaching forward to perform a channel change or any other thing is a distraction. All the other things like setting GPS I'd do before hand as you've done in this vlog

Still can’t find a good video on this system. What about using the buttons at the hand controls?

Great Information JUST an FYI the data feed on the Boom Nav IS NOT realtime (ie waze, google maps etc) meaning, it will not be able to determine if you have issues with traffic / weather etc along your route.

Good video, I have that radio on my new 2020 Road Glide Limited. Who ever designed this system must have never been on a motorcycle it their life? Biggest POS I have ever had; If it would not devalue the bike, I would get great pleasure in taking a hammer to it.

My trip information never changes I have a 2020 street glide special and I don't have the Harley app or a headset do how do I get this to work?

How do you mute the navigation voice? When I am listening to music without a helmet and navigation is running, it cuts the music even though I can’t hear what the navigation is saying?

Watched the video, but still couldn’t find the clock icon . Is there a video just explaining the function of the clock icon and how to retrieve it.

how do you raise the volume on the navigation voice prompt

on minute 18:11 you said the trip summary is saved, where? I can't find any information in there even after I take the bike for a ride!

Have you done the 30k wireless headset demo

So if you get the new bluetooth headsets on HD website , you can finally use call feature and voice commands for station change and Nav intro features ? And do you have to RIP the fairing off to add things , and how about XM radio ? For a $27,500 vehicle XM should simply need a subscription to work. Indian motorcycle just released a newer bluetooth nav system with 100 watts stereo. Why didn't HD give more boost stock ?

At 3:16 /3:17, What is the RBDS ✅️ (checked) box?

Did I see EQ under system information? We can set the EQ up?

Nice overview! Does the Bluetooth headset need to be Boom Audio for Apple CarPlay to work, or will any helmet Bluetooth system work (Sena, etc)?

I don't think this system is so great. I just bought a 2021 CVO Street Glide and it can't even tell me where I live. It says my house is on the right when it is on the left. Also my H-D dealership show it being on the other side of the highway. And seems that is the nav system, if it says things are on the right look left, if it says left then look right. So i spent 47,000 + for people to tell me to use my phone for the navigation system. And yes i have the latest update. Dealer did it just a week ago.

Thanks for the nice review. I still have many specific questions but that's beyond the scope of your presentation. I ride a 15 FLTRUSE with the option WHIM. I have done many long multiday trips. The Boom is mine is a sorry piece of crap. I use it even with the poor quality maps, inaccurate POIs and get by. I use my Android phone which is waterproof as the real authority on the road. I am very disappointed with the original Boom and that it took 5 model years for this improved version that even at double speed of the old one, is still a snail. Apple support is nice but why not Andriod Auto? The UI changes are nice improvements and visability was seriously needed. I can always see my phone and to get an improved phone I don't need to buy a whole motorcycle. Ok end of venting.

How do you reset the last service?

Can we retro-fit this new radio on older bikes? Like a 2014 SGS?

Is there any way to see how fast you are going in kilometers?

I wish they would have included an oil temperature gauge in the information screen. And oil pressure would also be nice...

How do you rest the trip information?

Is this the same infotainment system on the 2021’s?

Good video, I learned the hard way. Now... the trip summary DOES NOT FUNCTION properly, every other GAS STOP the information will reset and start new and VOILA...you lost track of what was going on and that is pretty bad in long trips, as you cannot rely on this feature at all...I would appreciate any inputs on the TRIP SUMMARY, or if you have a video, I would be grateful. Thanks, LCL

The only thing I needed to know was how to get it to start the trip summary. Mine is not collecting any data. And also how to reset that feature.

One thing I hate about my new Harley (2020 Ultra LImited) is the fact that it always defaults to the radio at startup. My Indian Limited and any car I ever had remembers I was streaming music from my phone via bluetooth and at startup plays no audio until the phone syncs up and it continues right where I left off. Is there a way to make this thing default to my last audio source or at the very least default to bluetooth audio? I NEVER play the AM/FM radio...ever. So I really hate that some commercial starts playing at a very loud level (yes...I love to play my music loud) at startup and I'm having to turn it down OR turn it down before I shut the bike off.

where is the vox sensitivity setting?

Can it play music from a flash drive, or is it strictly phone Bluetooth?

Having problems with my radio cutting in and out on my 2019 street glide.. any suggestions?

Minor correction - you DO NOT need voice to use Apple car play. You can operate car play just fine from the screen. You need voice to use Siri in car play which isn't necessary at all.

Can this be swapped out for an aftermarket unit or are we stuck with what Harley gives us? I can only imagine this bike 20 years from now with that same unit in it.

Where are the TPMS values displayed ?? TY 4 TA VID !! Lol

If you have songs on your phone can you play them on the system like an MP3 player? I

Why didn’t you talk about the whim that’s needed for the Harley blue tooth

I have this system on my 2019 road glide special. After the initial awe, I’ve come to find it’s pretty much worthless. You need the whim and the HD sena to make it work as Harley-Davidson markets it. As of this date you don’t need an HD tattoo to make the system work. The whim is not an easy install requiring removal of the fairing and being flashed. Other than the am and fm tuner what good is it? The phone is doing all the work if I’m using Apple car play. Harley could of left an open slot in place of the stereo that an iPhone could snap into with a lighting connector that would go to an amplifier and speakers. The gauging features could be controlled with traditional gauges or an app on the iPhone. Not hating on the system or HD, they’re a business they have to make money. I just believe if all these extras are needed to make the features of the system work, it should just be included with the bike and just increase the price.

How do I turn off NAV.

En français c est possible une traduction merci

You mention car play but what about android auto ?

On the screen that shows the service mileage,how is the service mileage canceled from the screen.

Can you get Sirius xm on this system?

Some useful information, but your hand was in the way most of the time when I was trying to see the details you were pointing out

Apple's Car play would have been the best added feature.

where do you find air temp ?

What about Android phones

. I purchased a sportster from dillion harley in elkorn and the day before harley service went through the bike but screwed up adjusting the spokes and left the rear wheel was 1/4 inch out of true. I get on to go for a ride and the first bump I hit blew the tube. They wouldn't even replace just the tube they claimed the had to replace the undamaged new tire. At the purchase I was told I could buy parts and stuff and add it to the financing. I told them I would order some but if It couldnt be ship to my home I didnt want to order because I lived to far away the parts guy promised it would come to my home that was a lie. The way ot was explained to me Thier service is like all harley. If you spend alot you can expect honest service but if not they dont care that thier poor service might wreck you.

Harley really has done a number on you guys smh 😂

Love the new radio. Old GT is horrible. Sadly harley is missing the mark with my generation and younger, which I thought it was trying to go after. Artificial limitations like which are imposed on this radio and the whim module are just insane. In this you mention to upgrade to the most current headset... that is only partially true. No doubt, the Boom 20 Evo, for music, is the true winner due to its employment of AptX codec. Sadly the Boom 20 Evo (and even the Sena 20 Evo it is made on) fair miserably as communicators compared to the Sena 30K. But sadly the 30K and even the Sena 20 Evo (of which the Boom 20 Evo is made from) are specifically locked out of the whim. They do not get the AADP protocol that is industry standard. They are forced to use HFP, basically telephone mono quality. So the Boom 20 Evo doesn't even have to compete (do you want stereo music? got to get boom 20 evo) . Same thing with this radio. Double-din radio, same mounting, same harness, talks to same BCM (at least for the 18, it is different bcm from 17), same stage 2 amp, same whim module, etc. Sure the XM module changed, but could be several reasons for that, and yes the key cap changed on the right controls, but since its canbus and the button is already only listened to by the radio, thats not why. Maybe the 19 has a sensor for figuring the mpg that the 18 doesnt have (you know, like my 18 only says "OK" for oil pressure versus the actual PSI my friend's 14 gives), but again that isn't really an issue. So then it comes down to either harley doesnt want to allow it on old bikes because, "its a feature" not a P&A of the new bikes (which is stupid, why adopt the double-din standard, its all about changing radios), or they have made the new radio ask the BCM was model year, and if its not 19 then it doesnt work. Despite owning Harleys, and only harleys, for a very long time (82 sportster to my 18 RGS), this new behavior with harley is making me rethink if I want my next bike to be a harley. And I love the pan america, would love to have a livewire.... I'd even pay the $1900 (which is two to three times what similar high-end dash systems cost) for this radio because its waterproof and no other in-dash system is, and retains headset and cb functionality.... but financial costs of trading an 4month old 18 for a 19 just to get the radio is insane bad financial decision. Leaves a horrible taste in my mouth... the only complaint I have with my 18 is something that could be fixed, but harley wilfully chooses not to allow that should have been a no-brainer.

I installed the stupid app now I cannot get it out

you show bluetooth connection but it only supports playing music from your phone. The entire unit only supports Navigation and bluetooth paired music out of the box. Nothing else. No Apple Car play, no phone capabilities. For those functions, you need to install a WHIM module, a wired microphone, and use a wired compatible headset kit attached to your helmet in order to make or answer a simple phone call. Same old system in a new package.

Bullshit on the rain! Got caught in a rain storm and it was like my kids where pushing random buttons. In short it doesn't like water 2019 road glide cvo

Keep your hands out of the way/ blocking many times on what you were doing

You should be a hand model.
