If you delete all of your texts from the phone, it will sync. MMS messages stop the sync from working. I'm just not willing to delete all my old messages.


Delete those MMS messages & it should sync. Keep the MMS messages & lose the text message option through the bike.

I had the same problem. Someone in the forum said it has something to do with some types of text messages you have stored on the phone. If you delete all your text messages (which will get rid of the problematic text message(s)) the sync issue will go away.

fairly simple fix, altho it took me a while to figure it out, on your i phone (i have a 6) go to your settings, then bluetooth, then under my devices find H-D Radio, click on info, and make sure that Show Notifications is ON. the default is off and mine went back to off after i needed to clear data and reset after a repair...

This thread is 2 years old. Check the date before offering a fix for a problem long resolved.
