Hey Cat Eye, just ordered GTS kit #76000834A for my 2015 FLTRUSE and would appreciate your thoughts:
Does the new GTS have a factory-installed protective film covering the screen? The older 6.5 GT version came with a scratch-protective film installed which did nothing regarding glare. I removed and replaced with NuShield Day Vue film which dramatically improved viewability. I see that NuShield makes an 8.5 sized version for the GTS. Have you tried it?
For Apple CarPlay to work, instructions require new USB Cable (69200031A for Batwing; 76000374A for Road Glide). But CarPlay worked for you w/o installing new USB Cable?
To keep speakers from blowing, did you need to disconnect your speaker wires , or simply pull radio fuse?
Does H-D need to pull the fairing to flash radio/amps?
Thanks
Hey Trigger
No protective screen comes with the GTS. They do say it is Gorilla Glass. Thanks for the heads up on the NuShield, I’m going to check it out.
I did not replace the the USB cable and CarPlay works. In fact CarPlay came up without a Mic attached or WHIM even before I had it flashed. It is my understanding that the GTS comes with the WHIM enabled and is why when I had it flashed I instructed them to keep the WHIM enabled.
I also installed the XM module from my 6.5 GT and the music works. Have yet to try the radar and traffic.
Which respect to the stereo, I went ahead and connect and operated the it. Just kept the volume at minimal level.
The radio will continuously beep until the unit is flashed.
The GPS will not operate until the unit is flashed/zoned. Be sure mention the GPS when you have it flashed, my shop over looked this.
No need to pull the faring to do the flash. Once they get on it and if familiar with the process takes less than 15 min. Dealer did even charge me.
Hope this helps...it is amazing how fast this radio boots up!
