Snapping and popping on radio
I have the 6.5 system and have been hearing a popping sound over the speakers while listening to fm radio. It sounds almost like a bug or small stone hitting my helmet. Anyone else getting this?
Cheers

Sounds like my bike. To me it seems like static from the station not coming in clear. It's super annoying and keeps listening to the music on my USB.

Nice to know there is a fix to this. Mine has done this since I bought it a couple weeks ago and wasn't sure if it was just the way the radio worked.

Yeah, perform a system update. There was a known issue with earlier firmware. If you have already flashed, try redoing the flash.

Flashed mine about 20 minutes ago, should take care of the problem. We'll see.
