Just completed this upgrade on a 2015 Streetglide.

Installed GTS model #76000834A

As stated above: a remove and replace upgrade.

Installed the old XM module and music works but have not tried the traffic and weather yet

Out of the box, with Iphone 7 plugged into USB, carplay operated just fine without a WHIM or headset(mic) attached.

Did not replace the USB cable

Until you have the unit flashed the GPS will not operate and you will get a continuous beep out of the audio

It is my understanding that the unit comes configured with the WHIM enabled.  Which explains why Carplay worked out of the box and when I had the unit flashed, I asked them to keep the WHIM enabled.

It an expensive upgrade but it sure boots-up faster and the display so much better.  No regrets so far.

With the help of Joshua A I installed a Boom GTS radio out of 2020 into my 2018 CVO. The radio I purchased has a part number that ends in an A. That is what the new Boom kit is showing as a retro fit radio. Out of the 2020 the radio would not work in my 2018. The radio needed to be updated to the latest 2020 Harley Davidson update. I couldn't do this from my  2018. My buddy allowed me to plug the radio into his 2019 and update it (I updated his also while I was there). After the update the radio came to life when installed in my 2018. Going from the GT to the GTS is a big difference.  The GTS is so much faster.

Since this install I've been part of 3 other installs that used the non A part number radios. The key is updating the radio to the latest update first and resetting it.

So all you have to do is change out the radio? The xm,gps, cb, communications all work with this?

I used the Sirrus from my 18 GT radio in my 20 GTS radio without issue.

What about the sun glare on this one compared to the old one?

i like to use waze.  especially if i'm on a well traveled road, the more people using waze, the more accurate the hazard/police info is.  the really odd part of it is when i use it in my car, the gps info shows that i'm doing 1/2 speed.  but if i'm on the bike, it is accurate.   :confused5:

You don't have a Shark. Big difference in the angle of the radio between a batwing and a shark.

The sun glare on the head unit is greatly reduced with the GTS unit over the older one on a road glide.  Its not 100% gone, but you can ride with your back to the sun and see the new unit.  I was surprise they were able to improve it that much.

Let me rephrase that, the glare I got usually late in the summer and fall when the sun is low from behind would almost completely wash out the GT on my "bat wing" with the GTS was nonexistent on the "bat wing" your results may vary

I’m looking to install a GTS in my 16 SG. The question is; the one I’m looking at is from a 19 SG. The part number on the radio says 76000783. I’m assuming that’s the part number just for the radio portion of 76000829A kit so all I need would be the USB connector 69200031A?
Thanks for any help before I pull the trigger on this.

I don’t know if this question has been asked. What’s different from the Street Glide Boom Audio 76000829 to the 76000829A and why the 76000829 won’t  work with pre 19 Rushmore bikes.
Thanks
LOL there is an "A" prefix on the part number..... Obviously there is either a different firmware installed in the non "a" part number or something internally different. I have a '15 SG with the 76000829 part number in my bike, using the Soundz module installed when the module first came out. I was having problems with the bike all of a sudden not doing the Apple CarPlay option. I checked all of my cables and changed out the USB cable too, anyway i unplugged the Soundz module and plugged the factory harness into the GTS radio. A warning comes up and says something to the effect of "This radio is not compatible with your motorcycle". So, the earlier part number absolutely WILL NOT work on an earlier bike w/o the Soundz adapter module. LOL i should have waited, i had a feeling H-D would make a new GTS that would retrofit to the earlier bikes. I've also updated the GTS firmware as well as the WHIM software. Still no CarPlay. I sent an email question to Soundz support with no answer.... I figure they aren't too interested as HD obsoleted their $450 module.
If anyone has any suggestions to try to get CarPlay to work let me know. Otherwise i'll likely get the NEW GTS radio and see if someone can test my old GTS radio in a '19 and see if it works, and if it does ill eat it and sell it to someone who has the smaller non special radio in a 19 that wants to upgrade.

Post edit: After changing the USB cable three times, my problem was the connecting USB cable. All back to normal.

have you tried flashing your radio with the newest update?  i believe it was supposed to make the gts compatible in an older bike that didn't come with gts originally.

I'm tempted by the processor speed and screen readability. Recently updated my 6.5GT Navi software to NACVO-MY2020. Assuming your new 6.5GTS came preloaded with navigation software, what map version did it come with? Does it include any "free" map updates like our CVO bikes did?
