2020 GTS radio in a 2018

(1/5) > >>

Puzzled:
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. Now if only they would add Android Auto!

The radio I purchased with the A part number.

Initially plugging the radio into my 2018

Puzzled:
After some guidance and reading I discovered I had to plug the radio I purchased into a 19/20 model year bike to update it. I used my Buddy Mikes 2019 CVO. It is interesting that the new bikes don't come with a printed owners manual. I found the download version however I would like the printed version to keep in the bike.

Puzzled:
I simply unplugged his radio and plugged mine in.

Puzzled:
I followed the update instructions from the latest download.
