Got mine installed last night, awesome sound, thanks for the TH-cam instructions. What a difference from the HD system, best purchase I’ve made.
Thank you!
Just installed mine today Jay. Your video was spot on (of course), easy peazy. Can't wait to go out on the road to really try it out and configure it. Btw, 30 minutes, and done!!
Thank you!
I ordered the V2 from you. Can’t wait to get it. Looking forward to seeing how it sounds with the Rockford Fosgate Amp and Speakers. I might being ordering an amp and speaker kit from you if i don’t like how it sounds with the Rockford Fosgate Amp and tour pack speakers. I like the way the bikes sound that you have done videos on.
My goal is to begin installing amps and speakers to have a side hobby.
Thank you
Just installed mine yesterday! It’s been a long 4 month wait, but it was sooo worth it! Thanks Volunteer Audio, it sounds great!
I'm still waiting on mine. When did you order?
@@jam471975 the morning after they went on pre-order I didn’t know how many or how quickly they were going to be allocated. I was ready to pull the trigger on an Si, im so happy I waited for the announcement. It was a hell of a wait, but definitely worth it!
@@SharpShooter9867that makes sense, I didn't order mine until March 19th. It's coming soon though, can't wait to get it installed and along with the the stage 4 Hertz!
@@jam471975 I did stage 4 with the big amp as well, you’ll definitely be impressed!
I just installed my V2 with Hertz speakers and I am impressed. Just need patience working with the speaker pods. The clarity is amazing! No amp required, loud enough for me.
So glad you like it!
Just ordered mine. Thanks Jay.
Thank you!
Cannot wait to get my head unit. Got the Hertz 6x9 installed in my bag last night.
I have the big amp, 6x9s, and the 6.5s and it sound great! It was a smidge bright, so I turned some trebble down a tick but what a difference. These things rock when you turn them up, and I’ve only taken it to 18 volume in the driveway when I tested it!
I did the same thing, got my Hertz 6x9s installed last week. Waiting on the V2 to do the rest!
@@SharpShooter9867 I have the same just waiting for the head unit to pull apart the fairing and hook everything up.
@@jam471975 yea same I cannot wait. I was nervous about cutting the lids but it was actually really easy. Just a little messy but easy to clean up also.
Just received mine in the mail.
Do you have a feature video that walks you through the functions in depth, like the controls and assignment options?
Thank you!
Thumb controls are fully programmed when shipped, we include a wallet card that we print showing what each control is programmed for. We have several other v2 videos showing how to customize the home page, connect your phone, connecting headsets etc
nice to watch
Thank you for watching
I received the radio and was quite surprised with the key lanyard and the Patriot Bible. That is awesome!!!!! Thank you very much. The radio was straightforward to install, I did connect a cam on the rear but the radio, it's not being recognized it, says " no camera detected". ???
@@Guapo-BMC the camera must be powered, the pink wire must be connected to the camera power wire and the camera must be grounded also, thank you, we can help get your camera working. Give our tech support a call on Friday at 1-844-30AUDIO
@@volunteeraudio I'll recheck my connections. Perhaps there's no power, I did give power to the so-called reverse cam activation wire, the ir lights (in the cameras case are white) but nothing on screen. Will keep you informed,....God Bless .
OK, my connection was wrong, cam is now working. thanks
Great video, like it.
Thank you
I can't wait to get one!
Great video - 2 questions: Have a Street Glide CVO 2017. All controls from handlebars controls are going to work as factory? Do I have to scan the bike after installation?
Thank you!
@@HDEXful this radio does more features than your stock radio, we mimic the factory layout but each button can now do 2 features, short press or long press, no need to flash your bike
At 14:45 in the video, there is a reference to plugging in an amp turn on wire to the MRR2. I have a 2020 Road Glide And the radio install video for road glides does not mention installing with an amp. Is it better to plug-in the amplifier turn on wire to the MRR2 or should I use the factory connection in the upper right side of my faring? Thanks for all you do!
@@daleabcdefg12345 when using the Soundstream radio you plug it into the radio/maestro harness
I had the Sony XAV-AX7000 with no amp. I just replaced it with the V2 and the Hertz amp and I cannot believe how loud this thing is compared to when it didn't have an amp. The AX7000 was already known as being a powerful unit, but it just doesn't compare to the sound quality and the fullness of having an amp. Another positive is that the V2 is much faster and much more reactive than the Sony. Only time will tell how good the unit is. I live in west Texas so it is going to see some very hot and dry weather as well as cold wet climates. My hope is that it doesn't shut off randomly like my Sony did if it was super damp or I had been in rain for a while.
Thank you!
Awaiting the Road Glide Limited install…
will this radio fit in the 2024 Tri glide? This batwing looks identical to mine.
@@Bruce-p6d yes it will
So when I choose headset list, the screen goes black and it restarts. Firmware update or something I should know about? I’d like to be able to use my headset while riding, kind of why I bought it, lol.
Also, my back toggle on the right side hand switches, won’t work at all.
If you bought from volunteer audio give our tech line a call at 1-844-30AUDIO
Do I need the EQ .bin number from my 6.5GT radio when using the V2 together with the 4 speaker 2 amp boom2 system?
@@catomoskaug4943 yes you do
What brand Torx drivers are you using....can't seem to find anything in that length...all too long or too short....those look perfect.
Gearwrench brand
@@volunteeraudio Thanks....they are on the way. Next step: Order my V2. Great video and much appreciated.
The V2 has a cable marked “charger” I assume for a phone? Where are people routing it? Thanks!
Watch our install video, we go over exactly how it gets routed and installed
I'm looking for a video that shows me how to connect the V2 with my Stage III Rockford Fosgate Amp. Please Help!
Plug it in, there is not special setup. If the Rockford worked before it will continue with the v2 radio installed
Hey Jay. What pry tool/ panel removal tool do you use? Amazon options appear really flimsy compared to what you use.
Check out the “ultimate prytool”

Can you please show the install with the amp.

Hello Jay,
After swapping from the 6.5 GT to the Soundstream V2, the odometer and trip display switched to miles.
I just looked in the operating instructions and read that you can change this in the 6.5 GT and then the odometer automatically switches from miles to kilometers.
I changed everything to metric in the Soundstream V2, but the odometer remains in miles. Do you know how to change that?
it is a 2015 CVO Street Glide.
Thank you. Warm greetings from Germany
Go to the motorcycle info page in the radio, select the settings icon in the upper right corner, select vehicle settings, change units from standard to metric
@volunteeraudio Ok, thanks for the quick response.
I'll try this out later and report back. Thanks in advance.
@ thank you for watching!
@volunteeraudio That worked wonderfully. You just know everything. Many thanks.
Is the process the same for 2016 CVO Road Glide Ultra?
@@ttbouy we have specific roadglide videos also

I have a question I don’t believe you have addressed before. Today I checked my bike for diagnostic codes using the trip meter button. No codes, but one of the components it checks is the Radio. So my question is Will the V2 cause a code to appear for the radio?
No, it will no longer check the radio
how does it work with the dakota digital gauges
No problem
@@volunteeraudio are they in stock yet? i have a 2014 street glide
My speedometer on the sound stream page reads zero all of the time. Is there something in the settings to make it active? It works fine in gauge mode.
I have the same issue. Everything seems to work fine except speed on the home page stays at 0mph.
Update from idatalink is out to fix this issue

Can confirm the maestro update does fix this.
Are you still pushing out 20-30 units a day?
All 500 preorders will be shipped by end of next week, we have shipped over 200 at the point and still going
After installing radio and amp the bike will not start. Have fault code U0198c
@@OMG_Clowns you have left a factory connector unplugged, or left a needed module out, on 2020 models there is a telematics module that must remain plugged in
@@volunteeraudio I am looking for it currently. Not sure where it is located. Thank you for the response.
I found it. Now I gotta find a place to mount it since it’s in the location of where the amp used to go.
Thank you guys for the fast response. I didn’t expect a response being Sunday. You guys have the best customer service ever.
@@OMG_Clowns remove the bracket from it and it will fit in the cavity to the right of the radio
Got mine installed yesterday. Trying to figure out why mine will work fine sometimes, and get no connectivity others. By no connectivity, I mean gauges don't work, nor do any hand controls. It almost seems random, but it's like the Maestro goes into deep sleep, and requires waking up with a cycling of the ignition, then it works the second time.
That being said, I forgot how many things annoyed me about my 14Si unit i previously owned. I really hoped this unit would be the magic bullet, cure all, and for almost $1,900, it should have been. It's not.
The Maestro unit need more flexibility. The fact that i can't program a home button or a track forward or back button is ridiculous. The fact that scrolling through sources includes stuff like connected device list, headset selection, settings, camera, rally mode, etc is also stupid.
While this radio has it's upsides, I'm having major buyers remorse one day into owning it, after having waited 5 months.
I sincerely hope these kinks get worked out, but if the 14Si is any indication, I'm not exactly holding my breath. It really is a shame to see so much potential wasted on poor software design.
Well for one, you can program it…if your have the MRR2 its via Bluetooth and the MRR is via a usb and computer. Did you plug your Meastro harness directly into the radio and then add any addition amp harnessing or the factory harness after it? I did and have no issues with mine, but I did have to go back and watch the original install video for the V2 to figure out in what order Jay plugged them in because I also had an amp harness. I would check both of those!
@@SharpShooter9867 yes, I flashed my MRR2 via Bluetooth. I'm quite familiar with the process. I pulled my main fuse when installing the radio, as I do when dealing with anything electrical, so there shouldn't have any issue there. I programmed the buttons to do what I prefer, and that programming has held just fine. But there are definitely limitations to what you can assign. For some reason, seek now works for skipping tracks in Android Auto, but it didn't yesterday. Can't figure that one out.
The limitations are more of an annoyance on an expensive radio, but I can deal with it for the most part. The Maestro randomly deciding if it wants to work is infuriating though, and absolutely should not be happening. This kind of stuff is the reason that a lot of people use Apple products. They just work together. No screwing around, troubleshooting stuff on stupid expensive equipment.
@@live2ride9696 Ah, I gotcha man. Good luck!
@@SharpShooter9867 thank you brother. I just re-read my response, and I didn't mean to come off as snarky. Sorry. I'm just a little frustrated with the troubleshooting process on this radio.
There are new updates already released that fix the issue you reported, both radio and maestro have new updates
