[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

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.

I simply unplugged his radio and plugged mine in.

I followed the update instructions from the latest download.

Pretty simple.

Moving along.

Installed the radio in my 18 and it came right to life. The GTS radio boots up much faster than the GT radio did. Even the screen to screen movement seems faster.

GPS found me...

The TPMS still works.

Screens I don't recall having on the GT radio.

I'm not sure if that somehow is reading my bike or the bike the radio came out of.
