Don't know how else to put it. By pressing the wrong buttons at the wrong time I managed to kill the display on the radio.Everything was working but I could not see where anything was. I managed to turn the contrast adjustment to the point where nothing was displayed. This is not good because of all the level of menu's and soft keys and no way to see any of it including the contrast adjustment. Had to get the book out and took thirty minutes to get the display back. I had to get to the audio set-up screen and hit the soft key for the display . After a bunch of tries i found a combination that let me hear the tone was being adjusted and that's when I knew that was on the right screen. I'm probably the only one that will ever do this but just in case I figured I'd post this.
While I am confessing to not reading the owners manual BEFORE I got one more ...I started to pull the tour-pack light because it would not go on. Then decided to let them fix it under warranty. After I put it all back together I thought maybe a little tap tap with some side cutter handle would show something. Well after one or two tap taps it lit up. But it lit up good no flicker etc. Another tap tap and I lost the light. Well I decide to use the finger and push O boy the whole light is the switch and you just push it on or off. And as fate would have it that agree's exactly with what is printed in the book. I got more... maybe another time. [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif][smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

LOL, they showed me the correct operation of the tourpak light when I picked the bike up, so I'm covered there, they also warned me about the contrast thing, they'd had somebody else do it already on a Street Glide, so don't feel alone. [smiley=oops.gif]

Guess I'll have to get out the book also, my display went blank yesterday and I don't remember pushing any of the soft keys. If I can't figure it out I'll be getting back with ya. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Well I figured out what went wrong with mine, while doing a clean up after the 1000 mile service they turned off the radio. When I turned it back on the display wasn't on. Well a couple of days ago I turned the radio off and now the display is gone again and the trick that worked last time won't work this time. I'm going to live with it until it gets to cold to ride then I'll have them pull it for repair.

I bet it's the contrast turned down again. You have to guess where the display set-up menu is is and hit the + key a few times to get it back.

I have tried that it worked the first time I lost the display but this time no luck. I can navigate the radio pretty well without the display but thats it. What is really going to torque me off is probably not being able to use the CB inroute to Daytona next week. Oh yea my heated set isn't working either. Go Figure.

Don't know if this might be problem with heated seat -- but manual says that accessory switch must be ON as well as seat switch. Same for grips.

06ULTRASE · « **Reply #11 on:** October 15, 2005, 02:20:25 PM »

Thanks KLT I missed that, the grips work without it on but I'll give it a try for the seat.

Checked mine still doesn't work, also checked my owners manual, the section that covers the heated seat doesn't say anything about the accessory switch. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

06 Riders, a request for assistance if someone can without it being a big hassle. Would someone take a picture of the accessory amp that mounted beneath your tour pak and post it here? Want to get an idea of its size and mounting method.

Thanks.

DEAN_NELSON · « **Reply #14 on:** October 19, 2005, 05:27:30 PM »

It is the same size as the rack that holds up the tour pack. It just fits on the bottom of the rack.
As a guess from looking at it , about 5" long (front of bike to back) and 6" or 7" side to side.

I have the big Harley service book at home and it has good photo of it and how it mounts. I ordered the parts book but it has not gotton to me yet.

I can not post the photo to this as I don't know how to do that but if you give me a fax number I can send it to you in the a.m.

Dean, just walked by my desk and saw the fax. Looks like it was one of several that came in between 8:00 and 8:30 this morning. Sorry if you didn't get right through. Appreciate the help. The breakdownn showed me exactly what I was wanting to know.

DEAN_NELSON · « **Reply #20 on:** October 20, 2005, 10:16:13 AM »

No problem.

Now .......just don't ask me what all of the 40 or so wire's that plug into it do!

I will need to deal with the wires somehow, when I convert it to a trike I need to put that amp someplace. I am thinking of puting it on top of the trike unit under the trike body. I am thinking the factory wire loom will be able to drop it down about 8" and that will put it on top of the rear end unit and bolt it their.

That I will get to do in about 4-weeks when I rip the bike apart to convert it.

While I was at Daytona I told my bud that works at the shop there about the problems with the display and he told me HD is aware of the problem and has a CD out to the dealers that will reprogram the radio, well they tried it on mine and it still doesn't work. On the way home this morning I stopped at a rest stop and as I was leaving I looked at the radio and the darn thing was working and is still working go figure. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Hey Twolane, what are ya up to here?

[smiley=nixweiss.gif]

06, I just got through putting the 06 radio and XM kit in an 05 bike. Was asking about the amp mounting just in case I needed or wanted to use it to.

Wanna give some details on this??

pezsez · « **Reply #29 on:** October 27, 2005, 09:36:06 PM »

Hey

If you go into the touring section of the Moco website, then click on the picture of the new radio--there is a button to download updated software to put into your radios--this should fix displays etc. I have heard rumours about radios in 06's breaking, so tommorow, I am doing thorough testing BEFORE the download, then again after the download to see if HD/HK have changed the rfrequency response, or rolled back the power to protect the radio. Will post if I find anything serious.

Later--PEZ www.hogtunes.com

Twolanerider · « **Reply #30 on:** October 27, 2005, 09:45:54 PM »

Pez,

In an email exchange a couple of weeks ago you'd written that a new product from you in the relatively near future would be speakers that were a better mate to the 06 radios then the HogTunes and would perform better than the stock speakers that currently are supplied with the 06 radios. Can you give us a clue what to expect from these new speakers and when you'll have them available?

pezsez · « **Reply #31 on:** October 31, 2005, 08:36:47 AM »

Hey 2 lane

I have a custom hand made set of 2 ohm Hogtunes speakers in my 06 now, and I am VERY pleased. I have tested them up to 140 kilometers ph (around 85-90mph) on the highway and they are clear as a bell over my STage 1/Wild Pigs. Many of you know I am working on a project which includes an amplifier, and I must finish that first, as I have already "bought" factory time to produce it. I am expecting to make an official announcement on Hogtunes speakers for 06 soon, and expect to ship them by March 06.
