I can't get the latest software downloads
« on: September 20, 2014, 08:33:40 PM »

Can anyone tell me why the Harley website lists the software updates temporarily unavailable? This has been for a few weeks and I'd like to fix a couple glitches in my infotainment system. I have a 14 CVO Limited and my main complaint is the speed volume control will not shut off or adjust.

Same issue with the latest software update.  Mine was just updated to the 1.18.1.

The speed volume will work, if when you start the bike and everything is fully booted go to the speed volume setting, move it down then back up.  It will now work until you shut the bike off.

 :huepfenlol2:    Rather than go through that before each ride, why not just manually adjust the volume as you're riding?  It would take less time to just hit the down volume button a couple times at stops, and bump it up a couple times when you get going again. ;)

I wonder who is actually doing all the programming and updates for this system.  Whoever it is, they should be fired and then hire someone with a least a partial clue and the desire to get it right the first time.  I know that's not the way software is done these days, and everything is just half-assed to get it out the door ASAP, but it sure would be refreshing to be able to buy something that you don't have to download updates for as soon as you get the product home from the store, and then continuously for the life of the product.  It's one thing if they offer updates to add new features, but these days it seems the updates to fix bad programming are more common.

Oh, btw, I imagine the reason the download links have been disabled has to do with them finding out the latest update sucks and they are working on the next update that may fix the current problem while creating a couple new ones.

mine does the same thing.   when you stop it almost mutes the radio and the speed volume control is off.   also my radio freezes all the time.. today made a voice call then it wouldn't play the xm radio. had to turn the bike off wait then back on to get it to work.   also had a nav not available  screen up for an hour couldn't get that screen to clear until i stopped turned the bike off and then wait.  turned it back on and everything worked ok. Please why is this so difficult

The reason is, when the speed control is not working, its not working in the reduced volume mode.  So cranked all the way up the music is not real loud, and its not clean sounding.  When speed control is on and working 1/2 volume is way louder than when not working and very clear and clean.

I agree their programing sucks, and has many bugs.  Cant skip forward of back to next song on media player.  Media player will drop out for no reason.
