Hi, just wanted to share my experience with the new upgrade GTS. I have a 2016 CVO Ultra Limited which the wife and I travel a lot on. I have had to deal with having my phone as my main component, sending my music and navigation through the old GT system to hear. Never did use the radio for anything else. Waste of money IMO, so when I saw they finally came out with the GTS for the older touring bikes and added Android auto, I had to give it a try and am I glad I did!! In my opinion for me this upgrade was worth every penny. I was fortunate to find the radio for my Road Glide at $1,600. It took 20 minutes to install and 10 minutes to program (turning off WHIM because I don't use VOICE) then did the software upgrade to have Android Auto on the radio and it all worked flawlessly. Tire pressure MONITORS, SPEEDOMETER, OIL pressure etc..
Now I have the best of the last great touring bikes since Harley has yet to come out with a new Road Glide CVO Ultra LIMITED. With the V-TWIN, I have the 117, I have the new RADIO head unit and Soundz 6 speaker system. She's got all the power I could ever want and all the sound I will ever need. I wish I had this head unit for the last 5 years of motorcycle trips I've been on!!!
I think I figured out why my wife let me put so much money into the audio system of the bike... now the bike is virtually brand-new again and a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new CVO. ( which I wouldn't do until they come out with a Road Glide CVO Ultra Limited again and the motor would have to be a hell of a lot bigger than a 117 FROM the FACTORY to make it worth considering (I know about the 134 crate motor I'm just not willing to spend another $7,000 on an extra motor)
So if you are contemplating buying Harley's new GTS radio for your 14 through 16 Harley, IMO, if you travel a LOT, it's well worth the investment. And don't be afraid to install it yourself!! it's super easy on a Road Glide. Unplug all the plugs in the back, take out the four screws, lift the radio out, put the new radio. it's just that simple. You don't need the Soundz interface that is strictly for radios that do not have the a after them and if you have a CVO, the USB cord is the same cord that goes to the GTS, so you do not need to purchase a new cord. There is no difference!!
