Bought one a couple weeks ago and installed it in my '21 CVO Black Hole Road Glide. It is an awesome upgrade from the OEM radio and is working beautifully. Headed out on a ride from WA to AK in about 3 weeks and glad I'll be riding with the head unit.
I upgraded to the Sony ax7000 three years ago; rode in all kinds of rainy situations, sprayed water on it while washing the bike, and never had an issue with it operating in the rain, and it still works great today. My major complaint with the Sony is the screen is hard to see in bright sunlight, which is a safety concern when crushing the miles in high-traffic areas; additionally, the limited thumb control options and having to touch the screen to change selections on the screen while moving are safety concerns. What sold me on the Si are the better screen, bike info, and control options. I ordered the new Si radio from your shop a few days ago and can't wait to receive it and to get it installed.
Well it looks like this is it! Nice features and much better sound. Level equalization is definitely a great feature because you want your music playing even weather it be usb, Bluetooth, or radio etc. two thumbs up!
You had me excited until you said it doesn’t support wireless headsets. That’s a deal killer. The reason people don’t have a whim is because of the horrid support and quality for anything but the HD branded Sena.
It’s more complicated and costly than you would think, if enough people ask for it there may be a higher priced unit with those features in the future, they have already amazed me with everything this radio can do at its price point
Let me know if they decide to survey the market to understand the need for wireless comms support. I’d be happy to put the word out on our podcast. The number 1 complaint that always comes up in the Boom GTS unit is it’s lack of industry standard support for wireless comms. The architectural design of that unit for comms is out of date and alignment with modern tech. Not to mention there are a ton of riders who wear full faced helmets or don’t want to blast crap in public while they are riding.
@@bartb7790 Same here. I run Cardo and not having support for that with CarPlay on my RGS is the one thing that I hate with the bike. There’s simply no excuse to not support industry standards these days. Pay the licensing for the codecs and profiles and be done with it. The HD solution is outdated and was when they released it.
I got the 1st one from you for my 19 EGS and love it. All my buddies like it better than they're factory radio. Maybe I should've waited for this version. Lol
I was one of the many who "upgraded" my GT BOOM audio to a Sony unit about 3 years ago. Just like you said in the video It works until it doesn't. Any water on it and it goes berserk. The company that I bought it from folded so I have no support anymore. I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on this. I've got a JM Rokker 800w amp and 4 speakers on my 15' Ultra LTD and music is a priority for me so this looks to be a great investment.
Sounds like you were a fat head cycle’s customer for your Sony HU, just like I was! I bought from them; it got soaked when washing ( didn’t get very wet actually) and spazzed out. Fatheads sent me a replacement. 2nd one got fried in a rain storm ( even after I bought the 200$ Biketronics waterproof cover for the Sony ) Fatheads wouldn’t cover it twice but Sony did the second time!! The third Sony was still playing when I sold that bike. Bought a 16 cvo road glide. Bought used gts when they first made it so older bikes could use them. Later bought the soundstream when it first came out. It’s a great hu. But now I won’t the si version. lol this hobby is stupid expensive 😂
Hi Fantastic video! i have already bought 2 14+ for me and my buddy! we love it! my other buddy who rides a Road Glide CVO is on the fence. He says if you could include a comparison on how it fairs in the sun compared to the GTS, he just might hop on the SI bandwagon! Do IT!
@@volunteeraudio Does this new SI model have a reverse screen video option like the GTS for those extreme super bight days? Also how good is the screen display from direct sunlight? Thanks
@@dcdell2008 we did a brightness test on the 98-13 roadglide radio to show just how well it does in sunlight, the Soundstream is brighter than the gts radio and uses an optically bonded screen to make it easier to see
From what you have described of the New SI, I am glad I bit the bullet and preordered one, now I can't wait to get mine. Will you make a announcement that you have received your shipment?
Wow what an awesome Head really nice features beats the heck out of the GTS I have I also am sold I might have to save up some sheckles for it, I have a 2021 RG Special with the RF amp in the rear bag and speakers all around
I guess I’m the weird guy that uses the wireless headset with the WHIM. Too bad they ignored this functionality, maybe on the next model. This is the best looking aftermarket unit I’ve seen.
2018 SGS, boom 2 amp and speakers. this is a direct Plug and Play? That's what held me off on the original sound stream. the TOTAL cost to replace everything was a little steep for my pocket. I like the idea of getting the head unit and it work with I have and then upgrade later. So that is my purchase question. Direct plug and play with what I already have. thanks
They should have two USB ports or make it so your phone connects wirelessly for Android auto / Apple car play. Need that USB port for a thumb drive to have music when you lose cell service. Lots of poor reception up here in NH. Love my system loud and clear!
I’ve had this radio for about 8 months now and it’s great. Now my CarPlay randomly stops working, yet my phone still charges. I have to reach in the glove box and unplug/plug in for CarPlay to come back. Heard of this at all?
Well, I'm gonna have to start saving up. I've been hesitant to move away from my GTS for several reasons. One was the functionality of the thumb controls. How well does this connect Bluetooth to communications headsets? I also use Harley's Navigation to plan my trips. This is seamless using there app and sends the route to my GTS/Navigation. This allows me to change my route each day quickly if needed while on the road, so I would have to workout how to plan in a different manner. Gonna have to give this some serious consideration. If I decide to go this route I'll be coming to see you guys.
You can plan your trip on google maps or Apple Maps on your phone, once at your bike your ready to go, and the phone nav is always up to date and monitors traffic. This radio does not connect to wireless headsets
@@volunteeraudio I was commenting before I competed the video. I do have the WHIM and use the headset for audio on longer trips. Still I am very interested in this new radio, due to all the newer features. Do you think there will be a way to connect to headsets in the future?
@@volunteeraudio Hope that they are working on wireless headset connection. Not having that is only reason I would not make the change. Like all the other features.
I'd love a new system but there are no installers in my area. I don't trust tearing my street glide down, much rather have someone who's performed this a few times.
Did you guys get the new radios in yet? I know you have a lot of work setting everything up once you get them in I say take your time get it right as I know you will . Just hope they’re not hung up somewhere. Thanks happy new year.
@@volunteeraudio I thought so. I know you got a lot of work to do any questions for my order. It’s a 14 CVO boom 1 . I’m sorry I’m just excited going to be nice.
I ride cross country on a road glide ultra and the wife and I use the corded headsets for music and intercom; will it work with any one of these head units?
No the hdhu14+ and hdhu14si models do not support headsets, wired or wireless. The new V2 coming in January supports wireless headsets and will be the best radio available
Then you need to watch our video about V2 Soundstream Reserve V2! Every Feature You Have Ever Wanted In A 2014-2023 Harley Davidson® Radio! th-cam.com/video/XEmgXkwB5Ik/w-d-xo.html
I like it...however l have rockford 400w marine amp 4 RF 4 ohm speakers and boomaudio on my 2018 cvo roadglide. I bluetoothed my Spotify l downloaded an eq on my phone and at 125% my sound is clear and LOUD AF. I can hear it no problem, even with a full face helmet, my 131 stage 4 motor, bassani 2 into 1 exhaust and on 1 side a brother with a rg with a python exhaust and on the other side a brother with an sg with a thunder header ...if your product had been available last year ya'll could have saved me a buttload of cash for other upgrades and hookers. Nice product
Great video Jay! Real quick I like all the features this radio has. I also have the same 2022 bluesteel cvo RG you were demonstrating the radio on. Is the Navigation only going to come from Android auto or car play? Is there no Navigation on the radio itself as the stock has? Just curious. Thanks.
Correct, Harley nav is always out of date and gets you lost, by using Apple Maps, Waze or google maps you have the best nav, always up to date and has live traffic
@@icrobicrob2718 wrong, this is false info, the phones have embedded gps chips just like a a garmin gps with no need for cell service while using navigation, map must be started while in service but will continue working outside of cell range
I would appreciate a direct honest review (and road test) with boom stage 2. Is this radio an amount of “upgrade” only, or the “solution” for the problems with boom stage 2?
Since you can enact the high pass filters you can solve the issue if too much low frequency bass blowing the speakers, the amps do put out more power when fed a much stronger input signal
Jay, great info as always! 👍🏻 any talk of giving existing HDHU2014+ owners cursor control in android auto/car play? via the possible upgrade of the basic scosche module adaptor for new iDatalink Maestro module? 🙏🏻✊🏻🇬🇧
@@volunteeraudio shame. Well I guess I can always upgrade in the future 😁 very happy with the HDHU2014+ but cursor controls when riding, would improve the UI. Keep on Keeping on 🙏🏻✊🏻🇬🇧
It has better navigation that is always up to date, more accurate and accounts for traffic. Apple Maps, google maps or Waze . Harley factory navigation is terrible in comparison
I would love to have a front and rear permanently mounted cameras on my bike. Even better if it had night recording also. Any recommendations to hook up to that radio?
This is our favorite camera system for Harley volunteeraudio.com/product/kenwood-stz-rf200wd-motorsports-dual-camera-recording-systemf. , it uses a phone app for viewing, it will not connect to the radio
What about the GPS? I am pissed odd with the stock one coming in my 2018 CVO Street Glide. It takes too much time to enter any address, it doesn’t allow voice orders (whether any cheaper car’s GPS allows it) and of course as it doesn’t have Apple Car you can’t send the address from your Iphone’s Google Maps!
It does not have built in navigation. Just like most new vehicles it has apple CarPlay and android auto which use google maps, Apple Maps or Waze. These are superior navigation apps to anything that could be built in and yes navigation works even outside of cell range because the smart phones have embedded gps chips that do not need cell towers to know your location. Simply start your route in cell range and it will continue outside of coverage. The radio does include a microphone that can be installed to do voice control or you can start the nav on your phone before you connect it to your bike.
In another video, I saw that you were talking about a Maestro MRr 2. module which could be programmed with an iPhone app. Did I understand well ? caer sweat your site you do not offer it for sale.
That module has been on backorder since December of 2021, you would also have to press a button on the mrr2 to connect via Bluetooth every time you connect which means the fairing would need to be removed
Hi, the Soundstream Reserve HDHU.14Si looks amazing. I am from Israel and our radio frequencies (Europe) are different from those in the United States, is it possible to change the radio frequencies in the settings of the HDHU.14Si device so that they match the frequencies in Europe. Two examples: for the frequency 91.8 FM and also 96.6 FM.
Awesome video. Thank You. I have a "22 Road Glide Limited with BOOM GTS and 4 speakers. My wife and I ride a lot together and are currently using wired headsets to listen to audio and communicate with each other. I am aware there are no Bluetooth coms. Are wired headsets supported?
I have a 2016 Ultra Limited. Is the “si,” going to show gauges on the screen or is that just on the newer model bikes. Because that’s one of the main reasons I waited for this to be released. That and it’s such an awesome radio.
Hey I am from Germany - after installation my speedometer changed from KM/H to Miles … how can I change that, I installed the HDHU.14Si and have an 2018 street glide .
I wanted to know does this radio add the TPMS functionality to my 2015 Street Glide Special reading the specs it appears to but I would need to add the TPMS sensors to my wheels since it did not come with them.
I cant seem to be able to contact anyone by phone or email not sure if you’re all on vacation or what But its not at all what i expected from your company
Why not stand alone gps?? Phone not reliable since alot of areas are still dead zones. Do they plan on releasing one with gps on radio and not relying on a phone
Phone is very reliable, all phones have embedded gps chips that do not rely on cell service, this is a false idea that navigation stops in dead zones. Simply start your route before driving into a dead zone and the maps are downloaded to your phone
Great video! Does anyone have any experience adding audio / nav to a new 2023 Harley FLHTP Police Electra Glide? I'm scheduled to pick up my new bike in a few days and wondering what challenge I may have or surprises as this bike comes with no speakers or head unit / antenna but looks to have a place in dash to mount items. I wonder if the wiring harness is in place being a Police model or even if finger controls or a place for an antenna are in place etc as I honestly forgot to look when buying the bike today. Now I'm wondering how doable is adding sound and Nav going to be to a police version?
It will fit the fairing, I would assume you would need a police bike radio harness to get the data turn on from the ecm and ability to add thumb controls
I understand that the system does not support the bluetooth function for the microphone and the headset. But then, how can we receive route instructions from Carplay (Maps, Waze etc..) ? only in visual on screen, or in the HP ? If so, that's really not practical !
We have a few but currently there is no benefit to using one, no additional features and to flash via phone using Bluetooth you still need to remove the fairing and press a Bluetooth pairing button on the mrr2 each time you change settings
Awesome radio...I should have waited...can you separate the Highpass filter front/rear? If not what do you recommend for a Hertz neo front and RG 6x9 in the lids?
Great Review except I dont believe he mentioned it has NO BLUE TOOTH connection, so you can't connect to your Helmet. Pity as that's a deal breaker for me.
I would like to know more about what you can do with the Nav are you able to load routes from an USB drive like the factory radio how about going an Video
It uses the navigation on your phone, you set your route on your phone either before you plug it into the bike or after it connected set your route on screen
Questions: The system doesn't have actual GPS navigation (with a GPS antenna, software, etc.)? It's only able to use your phone cell network for nav? Also, is it possible to add CB Radio functions? We use that a lot for group rides.
It does use the navigation from your phone but your cellular chip has an embedded gps chip also, this means navigation still works and is accurate even without cell service, there is no way to maintain cb
@@volunteeraudio my understanding of the system is that the cellular chip and embedded GPS chip is useless without cellular service. The phone needs to have access to mapping for the area you’re in before it can navigate. A standalone GPS does not; maps are preloaded. Unfortunately, the map database in a GPS requires updating every few years.
Great video! Loved the demo on an FLHTP, but I have a question about the hand controls... Current setup: '20 FLHTP w/RDRS and factory hand controls, fairing and tour pack speakers with a Sony 7000 and the hand controls do diddly for the radio. Even tried to swap for lighted hand controls and ended up causing the horn to continuously sound. Would a swap to the 14Si w/ iDatalink allow for radio control at handlebars? Would I need to replace the hand controls? VERY INTERESTED in viability.
Watch this video, once you have the correct thumb controls installed the Si radio has amazing advanced thumb controls that will work with your police bike th-cam.com/video/feslmrNs0xQ/w-d-xo.html
I have a 2018 Street Glide Special with the factory GT radio. I also have the Rockford Fosgate Stage 3 speakers and amp. Do you know if the SI will work with my setup? And would it be plug and play? Thanks!
I have a 2016 Ultra Limited CVO w/boom2. This radio works with both my current amps? The bike also has a USB in the cubby next to the radio, is this still operations with your new unit? It has the ability to play my music on the thumb drive and displays music info on my screen, this unit will do this as well?
I have a 16 rgu, I know there options for gauges (power vision, dakota digital) Will this head unit be able to read data like oil temp,head temp like those other options?
I have a 2016 Ultra Limited, do you relocate the USB port on these and SG's? I ask because unlike the RG's, I can't plug my phone into the USB port and close the door.
We snip the inside plastic edge to allow the door to close while connected or we use a wireless CarPlay adapter, there is not a better place to locate the stock usb
Would It be worth removing the HDHU14 for the HDHU14SI on a 2018 Street glide special? Can I use the HMP4D-SS Amplifier pre-wire for the 14 for the 14SI?
Harnessing would have to be changed on the amp, it’s really a cost vs feature question, if the added features merit the cost to you then yes, I love the HDHU14SI so far and I am swapping from the Hdhu14+ to it also
Apple Maps, google maps, and Waze all work without cell service, start your route while in cell service or Wi-Fi, then the embedded gps chip in your phone will allow this to still work even if you lose cell service
@@volunteeraudio most places we ride don’t have cell signal to start with. So I’d need the gps maps like in the factory radio. Does this unit have those?
Since this has the ability to read TPMS sensors can you add sensors to a bike that did not come with them (2016 Road Glide Special) and if so which TPMS sensors work with it and what kind of programming is required?
You cannot use common ground amps, there are many quality amps that work well with this radio, you can’t use low quality amps and blame the radio. We amplify every build and do not have noise. Most of the motorcycle amps were designed for factory radios using high level input, this is why we always use high level, the real issue is that Harley’s use a stator not an alternator which has electrical noise, add led light drivers to the mix and rca’s pick up that noise. Every major company that builds an amplifier/speaker kit for Harley uses high level input to solve this issue and so do we. This is not a car and so we must install like it is a motorcycle.
@voluntteeraudio How would this intergrate with J&M Rokker system? I'm running an 800X4 amp with 6 speaker, 2 in the fairing, 2 in the lower fairing pods, and 2 in a king tour pack. I feel like the factory GTS system doesn't make full use of it.
I have a 2016 road glide ultra. I just received this radio today. I installed it and I am not getting any sound out of the speakers. I have boom audio stage 2. I did the flash and it still doesn't work. What can I do to fix this problem?
I’ve been on the phone with idata today about this issue, we hope to have it fixed either tomorrow or Wednesday, there will be a firmware update soon to fix it, call 1-844-30AUDIO tomorrow and leave me your info and I will call you and help get it working once the update is released

I can hear it no problem, even with a full face helmet, my 131 stage 4 motor, bassani 2 into 1 exhaust and on 1 side a brother with a rg with a python exhaust and on the other side a brother with an sg with a thunder header ...if your product had been available last year ya'll could have saved me a buttload of cash for other upgrades and hookers.
Nice product
Thank you
Great video Jay! Real quick I like all the features this radio has. I also have the same 2022 bluesteel cvo RG you were demonstrating the radio on. Is the Navigation only going to come from Android auto or car play? Is there no Navigation on the radio itself as the stock has? Just curious. Thanks.
Correct, Harley nav is always out of date and gets you lost, by using Apple Maps, Waze or google maps you have the best nav, always up to date and has live traffic
If you lose your cell connection your Apple Maps, Waze, and Google are dead. Having the built in GPS will work anywhere.
@@icrobicrob2718 wrong, this is false info, the phones have embedded gps chips just like a a garmin gps with no need for cell service while using navigation, map must be started while in service but will continue working outside of cell range
The Harley head unit works.
Just not as well
Can you eliminate the original gauge cluster and only use the head unit for the gauges?
If you do it may not start, and will store many diagnostic codes
I would appreciate a direct honest review (and road test) with boom stage 2. Is this radio an amount of “upgrade” only, or the “solution” for the problems with boom stage 2?
Since you can enact the high pass filters you can solve the issue if too much low frequency bass blowing the speakers, the amps do put out more power when fed a much stronger input signal
Incredible!
It is, thank you for watching!
Jay, great info as always! 👍🏻 any talk of giving existing HDHU2014+ owners cursor control in android auto/car play? via the possible upgrade of the basic scosche module adaptor for new iDatalink Maestro module? 🙏🏻✊🏻🇬🇧
The idatalink maestro module does the advanced thumb controls and has to have special software and hardware that the hdhu14+ does not have
@@volunteeraudio shame. Well I guess I can always upgrade in the future 😁 very happy with the HDHU2014+ but cursor controls when riding, would improve the UI. Keep on Keeping on 🙏🏻✊🏻🇬🇧
@@heath2byte thank you Heath!
It has everything except a navigation system. I actually use my navigation.
It has better navigation that is always up to date, more accurate and accounts for traffic. Apple Maps, google maps or Waze . Harley factory navigation is terrible in comparison
I would love to have a front and rear permanently mounted cameras on my bike. Even better if it had night recording also. Any recommendations to hook up to that radio?
This is our favorite camera system for Harley volunteeraudio.com/product/kenwood-stz-rf200wd-motorsports-dual-camera-recording-systemf. , it uses a phone app for viewing, it will not connect to the radio
What about the GPS? I am pissed odd with the stock one coming in my 2018 CVO Street Glide. It takes too much time to enter any address, it doesn’t allow voice orders (whether any cheaper car’s GPS allows it) and of course as it doesn’t have Apple Car you can’t send the address from your Iphone’s Google Maps!
It does not have built in navigation. Just like most new vehicles it has apple CarPlay and android auto which use google maps, Apple Maps or Waze. These are superior navigation apps to anything that could be built in and yes navigation works even outside of cell range because the smart phones have embedded gps chips that do not need cell towers to know your location. Simply start your route in cell range and it will continue outside of coverage. The radio does include a microphone that can be installed to do voice control or you can start the nav on your phone before you connect it to your bike.
In another video, I saw that you were talking about a Maestro MRr 2. module which could be programmed with an iPhone app. Did I understand well ? caer sweat your site you do not offer it for sale.
That module has been on backorder since December of 2021, you would also have to press a button on the mrr2 to connect via Bluetooth every time you connect which means the fairing would need to be removed
Hi, the Soundstream Reserve HDHU.14Si looks amazing.
I am from Israel and our radio frequencies (Europe) are different from those in the United States, is it possible to change the radio frequencies in the settings of the HDHU.14Si device so that they match the frequencies in Europe. Two examples: for the frequency 91.8 FM and also 96.6 FM.
Yes once you pick your region it changes to European frequencies
Awesome video. Thank You. I have a "22 Road Glide Limited with BOOM GTS and 4 speakers. My wife and I ride a lot together and are currently using wired headsets to listen to audio and communicate with each other. I am aware there are no Bluetooth coms. Are wired headsets supported?
No wired or wireless headset capability
I have a 2016 Ultra Limited. Is the “si,” going to show gauges on the screen or is that just on the newer model bikes. Because that’s one of the main reasons I waited for this to be released. That and it’s such an awesome radio.
Did you watch the video, I installed it on a 2014 police bike and yes the gauges work
Hey I am from Germany - after installation my speedometer changed from KM/H to Miles … how can I change that, I installed the HDHU.14Si and have an 2018 street glide .
Inside maestro features in the radio you can select units
I wanted to know does this radio add the TPMS functionality to my 2015 Street Glide Special reading the specs it appears to but I would need to add the TPMS sensors to my wheels since it did not come with them.
No, it only reads factory tpms data through the ecm
Does the Xm module have the traffic and weather maps like the GTS module?
You have active traffic and weather info through CarPlay and android auto
@@volunteeraudio not the same. Xm weather actually shows you and your route with a weather overlay.
Hello from Germany, i have a 2019 SGS with the gts. I'm really considering buying it. is it running in germany ?
Yes we ship to Germany
I cant seem to be able to contact anyone by phone or email not sure if you’re all on vacation or what
But its not at all what i expected from your company

Always call, our emails auto reply that you need to call us for faster service
Why not stand alone gps?? Phone not reliable since alot of areas are still dead zones. Do they plan on releasing one with gps on radio and not relying on a phone
Phone is very reliable, all phones have embedded gps chips that do not rely on cell service, this is a false idea that navigation stops in dead zones. Simply start your route before driving into a dead zone and the maps are downloaded to your phone
Great video! Does anyone have any experience adding audio / nav to a new 2023 Harley FLHTP Police Electra Glide? I'm scheduled to pick up my new bike in a few days and wondering what challenge I may have or surprises as this bike comes with no speakers or head unit / antenna but looks to have a place in dash to mount items. I wonder if the wiring harness is in place being a Police model or even if finger controls or a place for an antenna are in place etc as I honestly forgot to look when buying the bike today. Now I'm wondering how doable is adding sound and Nav going to be to a police version?
Check out our video series on project five-0, our police bike, only difference is the controls that you buy
I want to buy the radio from you but I need an installer that lives near me in Maryland. Do you have an installer network?
I do not, this radio is easy to install if you follow our step by step videos
What about the WHIM ? Do we still need to use that? Can you talk about headset connectivity?
This model does not support the whim or wireless headsets
I have a 2018 does the mpg work mine show a stupid number like 300 plus.
It should be fixed with a future update from idatalink, I have not tested uodate 1.6 yet
will gages work on 2014 street glide special
Yes
Would I even need my DSR1 still if I install this HU in my 22 RG ? Doesn’t sound like it
No you will not need a dsr1, I would go as far as to say it will sound better without it
I’m trying to convert my 18 road king to a roadglide . Will this be compatible with my bike once I convert with my road king ?
It will fit the fairing, I would assume you would need a police bike radio harness to get the data turn on from the ecm and ability to add thumb controls
I understand that the system does not support the bluetooth function for the microphone and the headset. But then, how can we receive route instructions from Carplay (Maps, Waze etc..) ? only in visual on screen, or in the HP ? If so, that's really not practical !
It plays through the bike speakers and has an included microphone to mount on the fairing
I’m curious, does this radio also have a weather band? I’m probably one of the few that actually uses it.
No weatherband but there are several great weather apps that are apple CarPlay apps, look at “on the way” weather app
are the issues with the touchscreen in rainy weather? Changing volume and / or radio stations .... ?
Anytime you have water on any touchscreen including your phone they have a hard time knowing what you are touching
is there a way to check the EITMS status on the 14+ radios?
You can check eitms stays without a radio at all, but only the si models shows it on screen
Do you guys have the RR2 yet????
We have a few but currently there is no benefit to using one, no additional features and to flash via phone using Bluetooth you still need to remove the fairing and press a Bluetooth pairing button on the mrr2 each time you change settings
Will all the gauge infomation work on a 2017 SGS as the same as this CVO?
With factory ecm yes it will
When the streaming Carplay add on is available can you let us know the part number
Yes we will launch a video going over the features
Hello! Is it possible to retain the factory GPS setup?
No this radio uses the gps from your smart phone, the new v2 model has built in gps
2015 RGSpecial w/OEM GT 6.5 radio.
Will this work w/my bike and does it need to be flashed or just installed and go?
Thanks,
When bought from volunteer audio we preflash the maestro radio module so that you simply install it plug n play
Is there a screen protector for these units?
It does not need one, they use a very strong optically bonded glass, it will not scratch
Awesome radio...I should have waited...can you separate the Highpass filter front/rear? If not what do you recommend for a Hertz neo front and RG 6x9 in the lids?
65hz, the neos have a built in cap to protect them and you can also set the high pass filter on the amp
@@volunteeraudio does that number go up with more wattage? I'm running about 135 to 150 rms
@@joellongoria2239 no frequency is based on the speakers ability to play bass
Great Review except I dont believe he mentioned it has NO BLUE TOOTH connection, so you can't connect to your Helmet. Pity as that's a deal breaker for me.
Correct the radio has Bluetooth but does not retain headsets
It use factory thumb controls?
Yes
Do you have that show how little gas you have in that tank?
It can display a fuel gauge and have a pop up when the low fuel light comes on
I would like to know more about what you can do with the Nav are you able to load routes from an USB drive like the factory radio how about going an Video
It uses the navigation on your phone, you set your route on your phone either before you plug it into the bike or after it connected set your route on screen
How do i set temporary on this radio
I don’t understand the question
Questions: The system doesn't have actual GPS navigation (with a GPS antenna, software, etc.)? It's only able to use your phone cell network for nav? Also, is it possible to add CB Radio functions? We use that a lot for group rides.
It does use the navigation from your phone but your cellular chip has an embedded gps chip also, this means navigation still works and is accurate even without cell service, there is no way to maintain cb
@@volunteeraudio my understanding of the system is that the cellular chip and embedded GPS chip is useless without cellular service. The phone needs to have access to mapping for the area you’re in before it can navigate. A standalone GPS does not; maps are preloaded. Unfortunately, the map database in a GPS requires updating every few years.
How’s the update for the 21-22’s
We expect it this week
Great video!
Loved the demo on an FLHTP, but I have a question about the hand controls...
Current setup: '20 FLHTP w/RDRS and factory hand controls, fairing and tour pack speakers with a Sony 7000 and the hand controls do diddly for the radio. Even tried to swap for lighted hand controls and ended up causing the horn to continuously sound.
Would a swap to the 14Si w/ iDatalink allow for radio control at handlebars? Would I need to replace the hand controls? VERY INTERESTED in viability.
Watch this video, once you have the correct thumb controls installed the Si radio has amazing advanced thumb controls that will work with your police bike
th-cam.com/video/feslmrNs0xQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching!
Thanks! I found that video about 5 minutes after my comment.
You said it comes with a mic. Can you answer phone calls and send messenges on Carplay with it?
That’s what it is meant for, really depends on speed your traveling and how loud your pipes are
@@volunteeraudio I would pull over to use anyways. Thanks for the answer.
I have a 2018 Street Glide Special with the factory GT radio. I also have the Rockford Fosgate Stage 3 speakers and amp. Do you know if the SI will work with my setup? And would it be plug and play? Thanks!
Yes it will work completely plug n play
I have a 2016 Ultra Limited CVO w/boom2. This radio works with both my current amps? The bike also has a USB in the cubby next to the radio, is this still operations with your new unit? It has the ability to play my music on the thumb drive and displays music info on my screen, this unit will do this as well?
Yes, yes and yes!
Will you still be able to use the turn signal buttons to "unlock" your bike if the fob fails?
This should not be affected
Is this head unit going to make my 20 CVO Trike , (with a stock system) sound better?
It sounds better when doing more steps such as amps and speakers, there is no miracle for those stock speakers
I have a 16 rgu, I know there options for gauges (power vision, dakota digital)
Will this head unit be able to read data like oil temp,head temp like those other options?
Yes it can read any sensor on the motor that the ecm sees
I have a 2016 Ultra Limited, do you relocate the USB port on these and SG's? I ask because unlike the RG's, I can't plug my phone into the USB port and close the door.
We snip the inside plastic edge to allow the door to close while connected or we use a wireless CarPlay adapter, there is not a better place to locate the stock usb
Would It be worth removing the HDHU14 for the HDHU14SI on a 2018 Street glide special? Can I use the HMP4D-SS Amplifier pre-wire for the 14 for the 14SI?
Harnessing would have to be changed on the amp, it’s really a cost vs feature question, if the added features merit the cost to you then yes, I love the HDHU14SI so far and I am swapping from the Hdhu14+ to it also
Does this radio have maps that work without cell service? Maps other than on Apple Car play?
Apple Maps, google maps, and Waze all work without cell service, start your route while in cell service or Wi-Fi, then the embedded gps chip in your phone will allow this to still work even if you lose cell service
@@volunteeraudio most places we ride don’t have cell signal to start with. So I’d need the gps maps like in the factory radio. Does this unit have those?
@@njynthdsrt no, integrated navigation is a thing of the past, most all new vehicles also use CarPlay or android auto for navigation
I want to buy it for my 14 sg
I have one in my 2014 and love it!
Since this has the ability to read TPMS sensors can you add sensors to a bike that did not come with them (2016 Road Glide Special) and if so which TPMS sensors work with it and what kind of programming is required?
Your motorcycle does not have a receiver for tpms sensors so you can not add them
@@volunteeraudio I assumed but thanks for confirming
To bad @Soundstream didn't fix the sound quality issues on the RCA preamp outputs. White noise that can't be tuned out...
You cannot use common ground amps, there are many quality amps that work well with this radio, you can’t use low quality amps and blame the radio. We amplify every build and do not have noise. Most of the motorcycle amps were designed for factory radios using high level input, this is why we always use high level, the real issue is that Harley’s use a stator not an alternator which has electrical noise, add led light drivers to the mix and rca’s pick up that noise. Every major company that builds an amplifier/speaker kit for Harley uses high level input to solve this issue and so do we. This is not a car and so we must install like it is a motorcycle.
How much is the installation of the 14si on a 2018 Street Glide Special.
Labor is $100 if it is radio only
@voluntteeraudio How would this intergrate with J&M Rokker system? I'm running an 800X4 amp with 6 speaker, 2 in the fairing, 2 in the lower fairing pods, and 2 in a king tour pack. I feel like the factory GTS system doesn't make full use of it.
This radio is stronger and should send more input power into your amp
I have a question can you run this radio with a Dsp or do you recommend running it with out on
Dsp is only needed if you are bi amping speakers or running tweeters active, most installs will not need one
I have a 2016 road glide ultra. I just received this radio today. I installed it and I am not getting any sound out of the speakers. I have boom audio stage 2. I did the flash and it still doesn't work. What can I do to fix this problem?
I’ve been on the phone with idata today about this issue, we hope to have it fixed either tomorrow or Wednesday, there will be a firmware update soon to fix it, call 1-844-30AUDIO tomorrow and leave me your info and I will call you and help get it working once the update is released
@volunteeraudio ok. Thanks for getting back to me so fast. I will give you a call tomorrow. Thanks. You are a stand up guy.
@@cbengtson1983 we try!
What's my opinions with keeping my CB on a 2022 Road Glide Limited
The only way to retain the cb is to keep the stock radio, I would get a headset with a mesh network to communicate with your group

Later there will be software updates to idatalink module to add radar integration
