Jay...great videos as always. Just purchased my V2 from you guys and I'm sure this has been ask but that factory bushing from the factory usb charging cord....does it just stay on the cable in the storage pocket?
I would definitely use some velcro tape and tape the module to the steel bracket. Two 3" strips on each side should do. Otherwise you will hear it vibrating against that steel at idle on the big V-twin.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get best audio with cardo edge. The sound quality is not great with Sirius. A little better with CarPlay. I have the 45 mm speakers. Sound is ok but not as good as just connecting to phone?
Thundermax ecm does not currently send gauge data out to any device including this radio, all other radio functions work. Thundermax is weeks away from releasing an update to fix this issue
Hey Jay, can you install the wired microphone and still use the wireless microphone through your Cardo unit asking as it would be handy to use Siri capabilities when you don’t have your helmet on another great install video thank you. 👍🏻🇦🇺
I like the idea that you can walk up to the bike, turn it on, and use the wired microphone without putting your helmet on. It looks really slick when showing off your new system to your buddies.
Jay, I just installed my radio with the help of your video, thank you! But, is there a way to get rid of the gap at the bottom between the radio and faring face? Did I do something wrong when installing it?
That is there with the factory radio, the fairing gets out of adjustment overtime and never fit perfect even when new. This is why Harley put a foam strip there
Definitely no foam. Checked several times. It’s flush on top but that little gap on the bottom. When I put the stick radio in, it’s a perfect fit. Should I worry about this gap? It’s really not that noticeable.
If I already had an amp installed and I am adding the radio with the MRR2, what would be the connection sequence for the large connector on the back? Would the MRR2 plug into the radio or would it plug into the harness from the amp? thanks!
Just got my head unit, huge difference in sound quality compared to the stock Harley junk. When it comes to the remote wire for the amp that was wired in initially with the stock radio, do I leave it where it is plugged in, or do I need to move it over to the plug that is on the MRR2 harness? Everything is working but just wanna make sure
Do you have a factory amplifier you are retaining? This is the only time you need the eq.bin code. th-cam.com/video/Nxl5WEWBZKA/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Is there a trick to getting the speed to register on the home page? Mine reads 0 but on the gauge page it shows my speed. My rally mode only works if I’m the dj. I can broadcast but not receive.
Yes we have update videos on the mrr Follow this video and just use the most current firmware. The process is the same for either radio, remove it from the bike and plug it into your computer using the usb cable that came with the module th-cam.com/video/FOufFbkQaOs/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Thundermax ecm’s do not send gauge data out for the radio to read, all other radio functions work, including the advanced thumb controls and the motorcycle info screen
I have a 2021 CVO Road Glide with the factory amp in the saddle bag. Question: Is the amp wired up through RCA or the main wire harness? Im looking at buying this V2 from you.
Does anyone else think that it is odd that the radio will not play through wired headsets? My wife and I have J&M wired headsets and they work fine with the Harley radio. So I am forced to go wireless with this radio? Seems to be a step backwards, don't you think?
Not a dealbreaker, but a little disappointed that I no longer have ambient air temp. The ambient air gauge reads -40f all the time. The external air sensor reads volts.
Jay, Q: Is it really necessary to run the fast charge cable and grommet to the storage pouch? Does the V2 no longer charge (maybe slower) a phone connected to the stock USB? I am assuming that the fast charge is just that...a charging Type C USB cable. Is that correct? Also, I assume that the factory USB is still needed for Apple CarPlay connectivity or is that wireless as well? Q: What is the model of the camera system(s) are compatible with the V2? I heard that there was a new one coming out that will work with the V2 as the Kenwood STZ-RF200WD is somewhat incompatible. Other than security, I thought that would be kinda cool with the reverse capability of the RG3. Thanks
There is no reason to not run the usb c cable, if plugging in to charge it will charge much faster than the usb a. Yes apple CarPlay is wireless. We have several back up camera options. Call us at 1-844-30AUDIO to go over pricing and options
Hey Jay, can you install the wired microphone and still use the wireless microphone through your Cardo unit asking as it would be handy to use Siri capabilities when you don’t have your helmet on another great install video thank you. 👍🏻🇦🇺
Great job Jay
Thank you!
Do you have a video for installation of CB module?
This radio does not retain a cb
Thanks, love your videos...
Thank you for watching!
Outstanding video! Thanks so much. Can’t wait for my V2 to arrive! Hopefully very soon!
Thank you!
Awesome video! I am getting ready to call you guys and order one. Before I do are there any caveats to installing this in a 2019 CVO Roadglide?
@@koehlerjj it works great in your cvo
Jay...great videos as always. Just purchased my V2 from you guys and I'm sure this has been ask but that factory bushing from the factory usb charging cord....does it just stay on the cable in the storage pocket?
Yes, we go over it in the install video
@@volunteeraudio thank you

You can do that or use some zip ties

Most of the cardo settings are done in their app, turn off any ambient sound volume options
Is there anything far as updates yet that will allow the gauges to work with thundermax tuner ?
@@ernestmiller9647 no, this update would come from thundermax and to my knowledge they have not released an update yet
@volunteeraudio thanks. Just ordered v2 from u guys yesterday. Just getting all the info I can before Install
so the gauges dont work at all with the thundermax or just when the bike is off
Thundermax ecm does not currently send gauge data out to any device including this radio, all other radio functions work. Thundermax is weeks away from releasing an update to fix this issue
Do all thumb controlls work with this radio?
On the new Diamond Audio mshd14 the right don't work
Yes they all work in the Soundstream v2
Can you cover the kenwood camera system install with the v2?
The Kenwood camera system does not connect to any radio

Ok, factory radio fits perfect, no gap and no foam.
@@johnrolfe6995 reinstall it, I assure you the chassis and radio face are the same dimensions
@@johnrolfe6995 the foam is on the backside of the inner fairing top and bottom because it does not fit tight from factory
Definitely no foam. Checked several times. It’s flush on top but that little gap on the bottom. When I put the stick radio in, it’s a perfect fit. Should I worry about this gap? It’s really not that noticeable.
If I already had an amp installed and I am adding the radio with the MRR2, what would be the connection sequence for the large connector on the back? Would the MRR2 plug into the radio or would it plug into the harness from the amp? thanks!
The radio / mrr2 harness plugs directly into the radio, amp goes between stock radio harness and new radio harness
Can you show how to change the wallpaper? Also is it possible to change the start up screen?
I’ll
Make a video
Have you guys started on the March orders?
I ordered in March and still haven't received a shipping confirmation. Have you?
All pretty orders will be shipped by end of next week, we are working on march now
Just got my head unit, huge difference in sound quality compared to the stock Harley junk. When it comes to the remote wire for the amp that was wired in initially with the stock radio, do I leave it where it is plugged in, or do I need to move it over to the plug that is on the MRR2 harness?

Move it to the radio harness connector
Where can i input the EQ-Code from the old HD-Radio Unit?
Do you have a factory amplifier you are retaining? This is the only time you need the eq.bin code. th-cam.com/video/Nxl5WEWBZKA/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Does this stereo require any dealership requirements such as being flashed?
No flash needed, we ship them updated and programmed so it is a simple plug n play installation
Is there a trick to getting the speed to register on the home page? Mine reads 0 but on the gauge page it shows my speed. My rally mode only works if I’m the dj. I can broadcast but not receive.
Update coming to fix Home Screen speed, call tech support about the rally mode issue
Thank you!!
Thank you
There's no video on how to update the MRR to make the mph gauge work on the radio. And how to install it or what website to go to
Yes we have update videos on the mrr
Follow this video and just use the most current firmware. The process is the same for either radio, remove it from the bike and plug it into your computer using the usb cable that came with the module
th-cam.com/video/FOufFbkQaOs/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
How tall is that wind screen?
I’m not sure
Can an aftermarket Bluetooth TMPS be paired to the V2? Thanks
No but I’m told there are some that pair to a phone app that can be viewed in apple carplay
What did you say about the guages not working with Thundermax tuners? Is it only if you have autotune or is it with all Thundermax tuners?
Thundermax ecm’s do not send gauge data out for the radio to read, all other radio functions work, including the advanced thumb controls and the motorcycle info screen
I have a 2021 CVO Road Glide with the factory amp in the saddle bag. Question: Is the amp wired up through RCA or the main wire harness? Im looking at buying this V2 from you.
Factory amp is wired through the stock speaker wiring and is plug n play to this radio
Is this unit louder than the OE radio? can I get by without installing the amp and speakers? 2023 road glide limited
About a 3rd more power than the stock radio, still not as powerful as the aftermarket amps we normally use
Is it possible to ship to Brazil?
Yes we do
Did they fix all the glitches the si has?
No idea what glitches you speak of, I have no issues with the si
Does anyone happen to know the sound to noise ratio measure in dB?
I do not
Does anyone else think that it is odd that the radio will not play through wired headsets? My wife and I have J&M wired headsets and they work fine with the Harley radio. So I am forced to go wireless with this radio? Seems to be a step backwards, don't you think?
Wireless is the future, Harley deleted wired as an option on 24-up models also
Is the V2 worth it? I was thinking of getting it. I have the boom in my ‘23 RGS..
It has an amazing sound, well worth the cost in sound alone but then it adds so many awesome features too
@@volunteeraudio Great! That will be my next purchase. :) Thanks.
Hi Jay. What is the cost for this one?
volunteeraudio.com/product/soundstream-v2-plug-play-headunit-for-2014-2023-harley-davidson-touring-motorcycles
Not a dealbreaker, but a little disappointed that I no longer have ambient air temp. The ambient air gauge reads -40f all the time. The external air sensor reads volts.
Some years had a working ambient air temp sensor, some years did not. Harley was not very consistent. Also try outside air temp sensor
Nice head unit, but at $3000 aud its a bit out of my reach
Where did you get $3000, not even close
@@volunteeraudio That's Australian dollar

Why can’t you use the factory GPS antenna?
Sometimes you can but the included antenna has worked better in my testing

Yes you can
Thank you
Can an aftermarket Bluetooth TMPS be paired to the V2? Thanks
No, it only sees factory style tpms sensors once registered to the bikes ecm
There is an aftermarket TPMS that has an apple carplay capable app. Can monitor tire pressure thru careplay.
