Default Software update
When I first got my bike I kept up with the software updates as fast as they came out.
Now that I don't ride the bike so much and don't have time to keep up with the latest updates, I wanted to install the latest update.
I have 1.20.1.
I guess it is ok to just load the newest version update?

Ron, as the updates come out features are added and there are changes to the software.
I suggest downloading the newest available Boom! Box user manual when they become available.

Here is a link to the latest (2016)

The new Siri functionality seems to work well for iPhone users.

I've used it a couple times, it sure beats the BoomBox's clunky phone book loading system.

Yes Ron, you can skip updates and just load the latest one.

Hope you've been feeling ok, haven't seen many posts lately.

Tax season always keeps me busy for 3 - 4 months.

I am catching up at work and now the weather is shaping up so I need to spend some time riding.

Thanks Timbo141 for the link. I will download them and read them so I can get up to date with the radio.

I just updated my software last night. I purchased the bike used and it had the 1.19 edition software. I believe the current one is 1.21 but I don't remember. But there was only one update to choose from. Everything seems to be working fine so far

Has anyone updated the 6.5GT to the non-CVO models? I have the 2015 CVO limited and my brother has the 2014 Ultra Limited and I'd like to know if anyone has tried loading the GT on the non CVO model with any success and weather you get the enhanced functions.

Loaded the latest version yesterday in my 2014 Ultra Limited with no problems. Used it a little today and everything seems to work well.
