Default Bluetooth Reception

Ok did the update on my 14 limited and now when I put my iPhone in trunk with Bluetooth on to play music, my songs are cutting in and out. Never had this problem before. Even the wife's iPhone does this. Update was to the 1.19
Anyone else having this issue?

Same issue + more, have called Harley several times, just to make them aware, call and tell them about it, maybe all issues will be resolved one day.

Nope. Might try deleting & then repairing?

I upgraded to 1.19 and I'm also seeing this issue, though it's not every time. Some rides it's fine. Other times it cuts out constantly.

I've had this issue even before 1.19 so it's a hit or miss thing. I've found that if I keep my phone in a jacket pocket, etc. it helps alleviate cutting out. I'm not sure if that's due to the unit being closer but it seemed to do the trick.

I started to have this issue also after the update. I have my phone on my side and it just cuts out after awhile.
