When put GTS and V2 together, the difference of LCD looks like iPhone 4 and iPhone 15pm...
I love this comment!
How do I order this radio and how much is it?
Wow, that's a great product. I can't wait to update mine.
Thank you for your help!!
Thank you for watching!
Cannot wait until mine arrives and you install it
Me too!
I just purchased a pre-owned 2022 Road Glide Limited. The previous owner installed dual Hog Tunes amps and speakers. Will the Hog Tunes brand amps work with the V2?
I love this I'm have to get this for my 2023 streetglide
Thank you!
Great video. Im sold
Thank you for watching!
Iâm convinced. Iâm coming to you from Birmingham to get that installed on my 2022 CVO Limited. That would be perfect
@@Loveon2Wheels thank you
I need this in my life!
I agree! Once you see it compared to the gts there is no comparison
WHOOOAh!!!! I want that. 15 band!! Damn.
Itâs pretty amazing! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video, now itâs harder to wait for my order to ship. ð
Absolutely!
Canât wait to get this. Go Vols ð
Thank you!
Does the Soundstream allow you to enter the pin to start the bike if the battery dies in the fob?
you only need the display on your speedo.
@@MrPaul0815 that's great, thanks for the reply.
Radio is not needed for pin entry
Ordered, Cant wait.
Thank you!
It is about time!!!
I have the SI model from a few years ago and im rolling around the idea about upgrading it to the V2.. i have the V1 data link but do i need the V2 data link ?
The maestro is the same but will need programmed for the v2 radio
Will you do a video of the v2 in a Metra fairing if it is possible? I want my 2012 ultra updated with a radio that looks like it belongs!
@@jeremyedwards2538 it is not possible
Can you take it outside and have the sun on it to see how it looks? I cannot see stock Radio with sun on it
I think the deal breaker for me is it would have been simple to setup the radio with what type of bike you have. That way TriGlide would have 3 wheel TPMS and the graphics and splash screen would feature a bike similar to yours
That is all handled by Idatalink and they donât do that
that's a dealbreaker?!
@@pcrost83 why sink $2,000 into a $15,000 stereo and lose simple features such as TPMS and TriGlide support? The data stream is there but the manufacturer either forgot about the growing trike market or just chose not to support it. As far as including a setup screen where you can select the type of bike and then thatâd be on the splash screen and shown during screen changes is just a simple few lines of code that once again the manufacturer ignored. Hell, even my POS Nissan can do that along with changing body colors on the screen.
Tpms is a deal breaker? ðĪĐ
Can it show PSI from TPMS HD or after market?
If the ecm/back of the bike can read the data this radio can too
I have v1 of this. Hoping v2 solved/fixed the incompatibility with aftermarket tuners like pv where the tuner canât read the ecu due to the maestro/radio
Update your maestro to the latest software version, it allows the tuner to take over but no matter what, if your tuner is using gauge data the radio will not display at the same time. Tune the bike then remove the tuner or disable auto tune once done
@@volunteeraudio thank you. I'll update the maestro.
Will you do a video or tutorial on self adjustments if we already have one of your systems installed with the stock radio if weâll have to make any amp adjustments to minimize the distortion with the extra power from the new radio. Excellent video as usual.
We will not do a video as we will only share amp adjustments with customers who have purchased our plug n play amplifiers, these adjustments are specific for each situation , we will share them in picture form and clearly show what needs adjusted
Looks awesome! What about the impact on Harley Davidson factory warranty?
If anything electronic goes wrong is the dealer just going to blame it on the aftermarket radio and we are left holding the bag?
Nothing about this causes any warranties to be void, plug n play with no modification to the bike
any online coupons before I order this game changer? Great informative video
No coupons, we sell it at the lowest allowed price already
Will this display the temperature like the GTS ?
Through the maestro gauges it does
Love the info and demo. Try navigating those menuâs with gloves on please.
If your gloves will operate your phone it will also operate the radio, Iâll add that to a future video to show glove use, also thumb controls operate every screen
Pre ordered my V2 glad I waited was going to get the SI until this dropped. My question is does the V2 save your setting when the battery is disconnected?
Yes it does
Only thing that will get me to upgrade isâĶ can you see the screen in direct sunlight? The si was a huge let down
Do you have a roadglide? The factory radio angle will always make it hard to see and screen with the sun over your shoulder reflecting off the screen, also polarized sunglasses make it harder to see as well. In our testing this is by far the brightest radio and best screen for glare, we did a comparison video vs the gts radio and the results are clear but this radio can not fix the roadglide mounting angle Testing the Soundstream V2, Diamond MSHD14, & GTS radios for Harley DavidsonÂŪ- How do they stack up?
th-cam.com/video/GrOFakSqfAo/w-d-xo.html
@@volunteeraudio I do have a road glide and yes the angle is horrible. Can I use the meastro module that I have connected to the si with the v2? Or I need a different one? Canât remember what you sent me with the radio. MRR maybe?
Jay, honest question. Iâm leaving my home in PA for Myrtle Beach Bike Week on 5/10. What are the chances that I get my radio with the info for the proper gains settings for my PPI amp in enough time to install before I leave for my trip? FYI, I preordered on the day this was released.
Iâm in same boat Iâm leaving for 2 week riding vacation to Grand Canyon May 11th would love to have before this trip. No matter canât wait looks amazing
We will try our best to get each one out as fast as possible, I wonât know that date until Soundstream has them on a truck heading my way
Will the V2 fit the 2025 tri-glide ultra ?
@@oldsurfer38 yes it will
on the maestro unit, you could set up alerts for low tire pressure, battery, voltage, low fuel, etc. Are those pushed to show up on the V2 screen?
Yes they are
â @volunteeraudio Thanks! I (am and finding others) am not seeing the alerts. I have the alerts on. Running 33 psi on the front tire and low tire pressure and low fuel lights are on. Any ideas why I am not getting the alerts? Already replaced the maestro unit once.
TBH, I like the HD Trip Planner in that I can set many waypoints and go far off the recommended route if I want. Does this nav system offer anything like that? Thanks!
No but there are several apple carplay approved apps that can do this, check out www.rever.co
Is soundstream working on audio system for 2024 Road Glide or Street Glide
Everyone is
I want to do a t bar setup. Could I do away with the Speedo and tach and see all of that info on the V2?
You will likely have many issues from removing the instrumentation, it may not start
How far is the connectivity for headsets.? Could you connect say the rider riding with you next to you on their bike so you could talk via intercom?
Most headsets have a mesh or Bluetooth network for intercom between riders that pick up a mile or longer away
Can you use any tire pressure sensor or does it have to be connected to the ECM?
This radio reads the TPMs data from the ecm, if the ecm can read it, so can the radio
Fantastic. Incredible. I live in Brazil and plan a trip to the USA in the middle of the year. My question: Will I be able to buy this V2 to bring with me to install here on my HD Ulta limited 2014? When it will be available? Thank you very much.
It should be shipping to our customers the first week of May
Does V2 allow music to play through both the motorcycle and a connected Sena headset at the same time, or is it only an either or option?
Either or
When streaming music and navigating via your phone, can the V2 differentiate the navigation commands from the streaming service and route appropriately to the headset or speakers?
Yes it can and does!
Is it or will it be compatable to use with the Harley CB Radio Module? So many of us still prefer using CB to communicate vs Mesh.
No, it will not work with the Harley cb module
@@volunteeraudioThis is something the people want!!!
I camp a lot in areas that often have no cell service. That is why I like to have satellite GPS and SeriusXM. When in civilization I also prefer Google Maps. Can maps be upgraded periodically in future? Also, if there is a software upgrade can it be easily installed via USB?
Yes maps can be updated via usb from naviextras
Will you be showing an install video? I currently have a whim and a xm tuner on my gt radio. Will i have to use my current xm antenna or is it built in. Cant wait for my radio to arrive.
Yes we will be doing install videos, Sirius XM will require a tuner and can use the stock antenna with an adapter or use the new included antenna
I have the JM Rokker amp. Will the radio work with that amp? Thank you. Like your videos.
Yes it will, thank you!
Is it worth upgrading original Soundstream to the V2?
Absolutely
Does this unit interfere with power vision tuner in any way?
You may have to remove the radio fuse to use auto tune feature of the power vision, most customers do not have clashing issues as the tuner connects first and it blocks the gauges in the radio instead
Can you do a video on an install with the sound stream and the Amson speakers on a older road glide like the 13 and older?
Here it is volunteeraudio.com/98-13-road-glide-step-by-step-install-videos
How much does it cost for the unit and how much if installed?
You can check pricing here volunteeraudio.com/product/soundstream-v2-plug-play-headunit-for-2014-2023-harley-davidson-touring-motorcycles
Labor varies depending on type of Harley
When will this be available if ordered today ?
We have updated eta info on our website
What if you want to integrate a dsr dsp , which eq will take precedence ?
If using a DSP, radio eq would be set flat and eq would be set in the DSP
Will this navigation system accept âgpxâ files exported from the HD ride planner? Apple car play will not but the current gts system does.
No it will not
I think the reason some of us want built in GPS is because we plan trips using specific routes that Google, Waze, etc. don't use because they're not the shortest or the fastest. There's also a limit on the number of route points Google supports. So, we use software to build routes the way we want, then export to a GPX file and import it into the Harley GTS. Does the built-in GPS in the new Soundstream support importing GPS files?
with car play capabilities use your planning app right on the radio. Using apps like InRoute or MyRouteApp both function in CarPlay and allow for detail route planning and offline maps as well so you don't have to worry about having service for your maps.
@@603HD1 Thanks for sharing this. I use MyRouteApp to build my routes on the computer, but I've never tried the mobile app.
I've always wanted the built in GPS nav because i've been to tons of places where my phone has no signal unexpectedly and therefore no GPS.
The phone navigation will continue to work even without cell service, routes are downloaded at the start and most smart phones have embedded gps chips that do not rely on cell towers for location, plus this radio has the additional gps antenna and internal gps chip
@@volunteeraudioI want built in because sometimes phones wont work because:
1. It broke
2. Got lost or stolen
3. Ran out of battery
I run my route on my phone but I use the bikes GPS map to get an overall view of where I am and make decisions.
Great Video! Question - Have a Hertz SP4.900 that you configured to work with GTS. If I purchase the V2 what needs to happen with the amp configuration?
We will know more about that as we get final software revisions and set a few amps
I have the Rockford Fosgate amp and speakers for Harley. Will this just drop in place?
Yes it will, you may need to adjust your amp gains for the new radio but it will be plug n play
Any charging ports for charging up yur phone?
Yes it uses the factory usb and adds a usb c for fast charging too
@@volunteeraudio thanks
So, is IGO Nav a 3rd different option for navigation or is it a base platform for both Android Auto and Carplay?
IGo is the built in navigation in the radio that does not require a phone to use
Ahh....ok. thanks.
Will they come out with a version for the older Harley motorcycles?
Only time will tell
Iâm wondering if you can set the just navigation prompts going to headset but have the music going only to speakers? Maybe Iâm asking for too much but sometimes I have trouble hearing the prompts at highway speeds with a helmet.
You can send just navigation prompts and calls to a headset while sending music through the radios speakers
I bought my speakers and amplifier in anticipation of the V2. After I receive and install the equipment, could the radio overpower the speakers because of the built in amp and the amp that I bought from Volunteer audio? (I bought the Hertz front fairing and back trunk speakers with the big Hertz amp).
For sure the amp will need to be adjusted but the hertz amp will handle the input no problem
So the V2 is the only one of 14+ and 14si that I can listen with only my cardo speakers in helmet and watch nav and other stuff on the head unit?
Correct
@@volunteeraudio That's the biggest option I want.
Hi, will the Sound stream2 fit into the Double Din inner fairing
No, it fits stock Harley fairings only
Are you going to be in Sturgis this year? And do you have anything that will fit in a '13?
No, it is all but impossible to maintain the quality of installation and experience to our customers that we maintain in a rally environment. We would have to bring in outside installers and we do not think it would be in our best interest or yours. We spend a lot of our year fixing Harleyâs that got rally installs from other vendors
Yes we have many options for 2013 models, call us at 1-844-30AUDIO to go over pricing and options
I didn't see any comments that this unit is compatible with HD stage 2 amps and speakers(okay maybe I saw amps). Is this compatible and are there any issues or major workarounds to use stage 2 amps and speakers? Is there any benefits to upgrading to this head unit and leaving Boom stage 2 amps and speakers in place?
This radio along with the Idatalink maestro module retains the boom stage 2 systems and sounds much better than the stock radio
@@volunteeraudio Any Additional connectors to make it communicate with Maestro or does Maestro come with connectors to interface with boom stage 2 amps? Do you have videos on interfacing this setup? The Second boom stage 2 amp is mounted under tour pak (2017 CVO Limited). Boom stage 2 speakers in front faring and stage 2 6.5's in tour pak speaker mounts.

Hello... I posted the question below a week ago. Can you advise? Thanks.
Thanks! I (am and finding others) am not seeing the alerts. I have the alerts on. Running 33 psi on the front tire and low tire pressure and low fuel lights are on. Any ideas why I am not getting the alerts? Already replaced the maestro unit once.
I would suggest calling Idatalink tech support for this issue
@@volunteeraudio Yeah, well they said the problem does not appear to be with their device.
@volunteeraudio I have a can smart aka hex can that makes my headlights flash and integrates in the can bus. Will this be compatible?
You can not have 2 items using can bus from the ecm at the same time, they will clash
On the Ultras, they came with the headsets that plugged into the tank console. Are those compatible with the V2?
No, this radio supports wireless headsets only, the future is here and it is wireless
Which wireless headset do you recommend for the V2?
Sena or cardo
Hello,
can it import GPX routes in to the navigation, and how many routes can i put in
Iâll check into that and do a future video to cover it, thank you
Will this have CB capability?
No it will not retain cb
I just went to your site to preorder, and it shows the V2 needs the IDatalink MRR2 module. In looking at that it stated it needs the Maestro harness. Does the V2 come with the Maestro harness? I couldnât find it separately on your site. Thanks
Yes the radio is pre wired to accept the maestro module
Does it work with wired headsets?
No, wireless headsets only but with the ability to use cheap Bluetooth in ears there is no reason to stay wired
@@volunteeraudio It would be to communicated with other bike who use the wired headsets/CB....
I prefer wired headsets 10-1!! No batteries, no going dead, I use the intercom on my bike to communicate with my passenger. I'm just not a fan of wireless!!
@@neilrich05 The battery life on wireless have improved and can last all day depending on the model. My Sena camera model can be charged while using it so I can plug into a USB while using it.
@@theworldofjohn1972Iâve expressed an interest in retaining the CB function. They seem adamant that itâs a no goâĶ. Sucks to give that up if I go this route.
Waiting for a 4 speaker kit for the 2024âsâĶ..
We will have our full amp replacement kits shipping in July, they are awesome and will set a new bar in audio
Will it work with the BOOM audio 2 amps?
Yes
Hello, does the soundstream v2 is compatible with rockford forstgzte stage 2 audio ?
Thanks :)
Yes it is
@@volunteeraudio oh cool thanks ! Itâs compatible right away no specific update ? Too bad I donât leave in the us to use your service hehe
If using Boom stage 2 amps, will the fade and 3d suround functions still work? Thanks
Yes
Do you carry the wireless camera?
We will as it becomes available
Does it support FLAC ?
I will find out
Will this V2 fit in my 2023 Road Glide Limited?
Yes it will
Will unit work with Rokker system? 2018 RG ultra.
Yes it will
Stupid question, but will the touch screen work with gloves on? or is it only bare skin
Yes, I did a glove test in one of our videos
@@volunteeraudio you're the reason I bought this stereo! Keep up the great work!
I like onboard NAV because I have a crappy cell phone.
May be time for a new phone too! Thanks for watching!
Wish I could trade in my original version for version 2
Iâm sure you can find someone willing to buy your current radio and you can purchase the v2
I already have your Amp how do I set if I go with your v2
We wonât know that until final software revisions on the radio and we then set a few amps to get proper adjustments
I'll let you use my bike to take out the Skyline and install a V2!!!!!
I feel the same about the skyline but I donât think it will be that simple
Guys, I purchased your HDHU.14+ from y'all and my screen no longer works. I called but have not been able to get anyone from tech support. I have also sent several emails but have not received any response. I'm interested in upgrading to this new radio, however, I'm lacking confidence in the event something occurs. I'm on the fence about purchasing this new radio but would love to have my radio functioning so that I can sell it.
Call during business hours, we are closed today for Memorial Day, give us a call tomorrow
@@volunteeraudio will do
Two questions:
1. Does the EQ adjustment work for in helmet speakers or just the bikeâs speakers?
2. Is there any flash at all required for install? My bike has a PV tune.
Thanks and the product looks great!
Radio eq does not effect headsets, no flash of the bike is needed
Do you know of any dealers in Ontario Canada?
I do not, but we ship worldwide
@@volunteeraudio I might need to take a ride to Tennessee
My amp is the Biketronics BT4180...will I have any issues with that amp since it's kinda "locked down" and set up to work with a stock HD head unit? Thanks...can't wait to get mine!
It will be louder and clearer with the better radio
#volunteeraudio Hey, Will you be doing install at Traveling Tall's Run to the Hills in June?
No installs but we will be there
After reading the manual you find out that the warranty is only 90 days if you install yourself. In order to receive a 2 year warranty it has to be installed by a factory authorized installation dealer. Quoting the manual: "IN ORDER FOR THE TWO-YEAR WARRANTY TO BE VALID, YOUR UNIT MUST BE SHIPPED WITH PROOF OF INSTALLATION BY A SOUNDSTREAM OR PRECISION POWER AUTHORIZED SELLER. ALL UNITS RECEIVED BY SOUNDSTREAM FOR WARRANTY REPAIR WITHOUT PROOF OF SOUNDSTREAM OR PRECISIONPOWER AUTHORIZED DEALER INSTALLATION AND PURCHASE WILL BE COVERED BY THE LIMITED 90-DAY WARRANTY."
So this is interesting. I called Soundstream to verify the apparent warranty discrepancy advertised at various sites and the warranty stated in the manual. I talked to a lady in the warranty department at Soundstream and she said the dealers are providing the 2 year warranty, not Soundstream. Your warranty is only as good as your dealer.
When purchased from volunteer audio the warranty is 2 years.
We provide install videos and tech support, you have a full 2 year warranty when purchased from volunteer audio, yes handled directly with us but the warranty is backed by Soundstream
No sound
You may have been too fast, it has sound now
What is the price ?
The price is on Volunteer Audio's website.
