I thought I read in the book that we get 3 free updates within a 5 year period?

The book on page 179 does not give a number of free updates.  It just states updates are free over a five year period for CVO's.

If you have a MAC book or iMac or any other apple computer you can not do the free update.

Harley Davidsons wonderful customer service is every thing but that.  I called and asked how to get my free updates.  There suggestion was I purchase a Windows based computer.  I asked about them sending me the maps on stick, seeing I have bought 9 new Harley's, four of which were CVO since 07.  They again suggested I get a windows computer as they could not help.....

I told her it was no wonder Sales keeping going down with solutions like that..

How big is the file?
Wondering if a 1GB flash drive is big enough to use for the down/up load?

Thanks

OMG...how big is this file....it just blew through a 2GB flash drive??

Thanks Mike

Okay thank's I tried all that about 4 times would not get past authenticating.

I ended up changing the name on the .iso from swdl to swdl_boombox_6.5GT_CVO.iso
And then it installed just fine.  Took about an hour This is on a 14 with1.19.1.1 and Q2 2012  maps so if anyone has this problem the above worked for me.
All is Good Thank's

You are the man!!!
I too was stuck in the "authenticating" wheel and let it spin for 20 min .  Then changed the file name as Chuck did and BAM!!
Authenticated in 5 sec and began the update.

Many..Many..Many THANKS!!

My update makes it about 50% and throws an error and ask to reinsert the usb device.  The bad part is the system locks and you have to reinstall the 19.1.1 update just to turn the bike on.  No matter what you do it comes back to the error.   I even unhooked the battery for 5 mins.  I couldn't find any help on the web site.  Anybody have any ideas?  I've also tried 2 different reformatted 8gig thumb drives.  Maybe I just need a strong drink!

Interesting, on page 179 on my book it does say for CVO models that three free updates can be downloaded over a five year period.

I'm wondering if you could use an Apple computer with Windows on it running Parallels?

Got the update done to bike fine after some issues getting Navi Tools to load files on the USB drive.  After a computer reboot it worked OK other than taking forever.  Did have to do the rename of the iso file mentioned earlier.  Bike had 2013 Q2 from the factory now updated to 2014 Q2.  Wonder when the newest files are released for update?  Looked like the 2014 files had an early 2015 file date.

Just be glad you don't have a JEEP.....newest update is 2013 Q2 ....for well over $100us.

    Another good reason to avoid wasting money on those manufacturer built-in NAV systems.  For a bit over a hundred bucks US you can buy a Garmin that comes with lifetime map updates and can be used in any of your various vehicles.  I refused the Nav option back when it required a CD to operate back in the day, and I've refused them ever since.  Being in the business, I was fully aware of all the complaints and issues those built-in systems generate.

That's what mine says too.

 Have you tried a reset  after loading 19.1.1 and then try
the map update

[mjb765]

I just ran the 19.1.1 update and then tried the map updates. It sees the signature and downloads the swdl.iso to the USB, but I tried 3 times on the bike--stays on Authenticating for 20 minutes and nothing. I canceled and tried 3 times--same crap.
