Default boom audio quit working

The audio became intermittent at first, either not getting directions one day, or not getting music the next. Sometimes it was the headset, sometimes the speakers. Finally all quit

Reset the boom box. All working normal again.

A problem and a solution all in one post? That's refreshing to see! Good to know that it worked too. KISS applied in this situation.

Mine is doing the same thing. I wish it would die completely so i can take it to the dealer to get replaced. It will quit working for a day at a time but then work again for no good reason.

I don't see a resolution here.

I've actually called the dealership to say it's out for good now and I'm bringing it in. It worked as soon as I started the bike....

Was having problems with mine cutting in and out - turned out to be a loose radio fuse.

Try doing the reset. Can't hurt. Running latest software?

If the re boot doesn't work, I would try having a good dealer, service manager, call HD,. They can sometimes get the work done under warranty, of it's really close, Happened to me for a water pump, fixed under warranty

Tell Dealer to bag it.

It's a simple menu option set wrong.

Go to the Media Menu & change the Seek/Preset option from Preset back to Seek.

If it's still under warranty, let the dealer fix or replace it. Mine died about 3 months after the end of my warranty due to vibration issues. I sent it to Iron Cross and had them fix it. Here's a link incase you need to go that route. http://www.ironcrossaudio.com
