I'm at work but my bike is at home so I can't check the system for hardware version just now. Will do it when I get back home.
If it makes any difference my bike is a 2014 Ultra Limited (built Sep 2013 - one of the early ones).


Don't make the same mistake I did (downloading from the US site) - you are in Australia so you will need to download from the Australia HD site (the bottom link on the page is the right file i.e file "for all locations outside the Europe and north America regions").

I was just thinking - did you download and install the unofficial 17.5 version of update? - that might have caused the problem.
I have maps and everything working fine but I went straight from 17.1 to 1.18.1

 

I had 1.17.4. I downloaded the outside North America swdl_boombox_6.5GT_ROW_1.18.1 from en_AU site. It was the last option out of 3.

Harley Australia said it WILL NOT work with the later hardware.

 

What version hardware do you have? How old is your bike - i.e what month and year was it made?

 

I thought the radio was retaining the last setting (radio, iPod, etc.)…but it doesn't. But after sitting overnight…the radio comes on as the default when the bike's fired up in the morning.

One thing…after one day on the new software build the screen hasn't stayed dark for 5 minutes after starting the bike up on a hot afternoon. So maybe there IS progress.

G'day,


I had a look at my bike's stored data regarding hardware and got the following information.
Straight from the infotainment system:
HD Part # 76000232
Manufacturing Part # 2284782-1609
S/N: 26733029D




Hope this hardware info is of use to you.

1.18.1 maps not working on this combo

 

I contacted Harley about this and they have many customers that this is occurring. I would advise to add your name to the ones with issues.

 

I bought my '14 Limited last September and updated that software to the 1.17.4. When the "unauthorized" 1.17.5 was available I updated with that as well, with no problems. Two days ago I upgraded to the 1.18.1 and everything, music, GPS, destinations, etc. work well. I have seen no problems whatsoever. Not sure why some folks are having various issues but my bike, and two others I know locally, that have used the same sequence of downloads, are not experiencing any problems at all.

 

There's another thread on here that explains everything that is going on.
