cell, intercom, and cb
I'm having a problem that I hope with your guys help I can solve without going to the dealer.
2015 Ultra Limited.
When I make a call on a cell phone via bluetooth there is a background hissing noise. This same hissing noise I hear when trying to use the intercom or cb.
With the CB not only is the hissing noise present when transmitting I'm told that I sound very quite and that the hiss transmits as well. I tried four different headsets harley and 3 party both passenger and main ports.
When testing the other two limiteds I was with could transmit and receive normal.
Any Ideas?

From what I've read here, the hissing on Bluetooth is common. As far as the CB, I've never had the opportunity to transmit on mine so I don't even know if it works. I've also learned that the antenna is not tuned to the CB very well and that has a lot to do with it.

I had the same problem yesterday when I tried a cell call from my limited. I thought it might be my phone is a Samsung. I need to get an answer on this too,so bump for additional help.

I only use my phone plugged in and it's clear as a bell. I don't know if that's another data point for the problem being the bluetooth, but it's all I have to offer.
The CB on mine works great BTW, and it's really nice to have the squelch control right there on the hat switch. I do about 6-7 group rides a season and we use the CBs a lot.

I'm sure this is a real problem as the other two bikes are clear as a bell.

If you've tried 4 different headsets on your bike, and have tried the same headsets on other bikes with no issues, you know the answer.

Yep... sounds like you need to take to the dealer and get the bike fixed. I don't use the phone on the bike (I need at least one place nobody can call me!!!), but the CB and intercom are pretty darn clear.
