2013 CVO Road Glide-Intermittent Radio Problems
« on: May 29, 2013, 05:39:08 PM »

I have a 2013 CVO that I purchased in March.  I have been having intermittent radio problems where the speakers will all work fine one minute, then they randomly rotate on and off.  The bike as been at the dealer 4 times now and they have replaced my amp and the iPod module.  Picked it up this morning, only to turn around and bring it back.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Is it common that the dealerships don't diagnose but only change parts?  Seems like they are guessing at what might be wrong...

Took my 2013 CVO Roadglide to the dealer today for the right faring speaker cutting in and out. They ordered a new speaker and tweeter. The radio would operate fine while standing still, once I reached cruising speed with the vol past half way the right speaker would start acting up, don't have much confidence a simple speaker swap will cure the problem.  I have heard of a few others having the same issues with their audio system, seems a close look at this by HD is in order.

I am having similar issue.  Mine is just the comple sound shuts off for a second or so.  No loss of power to radio.  Doesn't matter if the GPS is hooked up.  Where the speaker settings are at.  I can't make it do it sitting still I must be moving.  Volume must be up about half way. Does it on aux, cd, or radio.  They did get it to act up for them at the dealer on the road test.  So they ordered me a new head unit.  I tried to wiggle wires to the amp under the tour pack.  Wiggled wires under the seat.  I can't make it do it.  I hope the guessed right also.  I will see this week when it comes in.

Ground wire problem????? Amp problem????
Both come to mind . I think the amps are still notoriously suspect.

Turn the AVC off and see if that solves the problem. If it does then suspect the amp is clipping. You can check the amp while siting still by turning the volume up a little at a time. If you can turn the volume up all the way and the problem does not rear its ugly head then the amp is probable OK. If it starts to clip then the amp or head unit is bad. Just a maybe here but you have to start troubleshooting some where.

Could be one of many things, a loose connection, crimped wire, head unit, amp, etc..

My left rear saddle bag speaker cuts out on some songs when playing the IPod. I took it in to the dealer and they ordered a new speaker for it, I'll keep you all posted if it cured the problem

This is why we are forced to get aftermarket sound systems.

I had this problem and just ripped everything out.  Still using HK head unit with no issues.

Factory amps and speakers suck!

I had the same issue, took it in 3 times, was finally told by the HD rep the exact same thing they told Gator Mike "Harley told my dealer to cut AVC off , bass half way treble no More than half and volume no more than 3/4 Motor Co said that's the way it is.

I finally bought a Hawg Wired RS-400 Amp and 6.5" ZX speakers direct from Hawg Wired and my dealer (Paris, TX Harley) installed them for free. The owner agreed that it's really sad that Harley will not stand behind their stuff.

I have bought my last new Harley.

but in the meantime...this thing frigging really rocks now. I love my music loud and the clarity is increadible at volumes louder that I can stand it at 80 MPH. 

It cost me $600.00, but at least I don't get pissed off everytime I ride my bike now.

I have the same problem. Have changed all speakers, both amps, and the deck. Nothing has helped. The HD rep told the service tech working on my bike to tell me to run with the AVC off, bass no more than half, treble not more than half, and never turn up volume all the way. I say BS. Have started a file with Harley Customer service and we'll see how that goes. Talked to a Harley rep at Sturgis and he said he would contact my service tech at the dealership to get all info. Surprise Surprise no phone call ever made to the dealer ship.  Don't know what to do next. Am looking at aftermarket speakers and amp. Thanks Sloride, am going to check out Hawg Wired. The guys at Texan Harley, In Conroe, TX. have been great. They have tried everything.

I am also having the same problems. I just bought my 2013 CVO Road Glide. I would think after paying 35k on a bike they would treat us better. If they know this problem persists and replacing with after market fixes it why not just do it and save them all the time on labor hours. There are lemon laws and if mine is not fixed soon I will be talking to an attorney about it. I actually think it may qualify for a class action.

Add me and my 13' SERK to the list. I have taken the bike in several times only to have the same problem again. I have invested in new speakers, amp, and wiring but have been too mad about the issue at hand to install them. It would seem that HD would stand behind their product 100% that does not appear likely at this point based on the number of documented and undocumented reports Ive seen and heard.
