Is the driver-to-passenger communication managed by the Boom intercom system or is it a direct BT connection between helmets ?
Reading documentation online and watching that video, its not clear to me.

I am calling dealer soon as they open. We have dual SENA S20. Having about 30% hearing loss the head sets work well for talking to my wife. I was planning on going with two freewires to make use of the other options. This sounds better. SENA not perfect but way ahead of my outdated Cardo scalarrider Q3's their time has passed.
I wonder why harness would be different for a 2017 same bike as the 2018.

From what the web site says with a 2017 I will also need the harness.

That's a good question. As you know you can either have intercom through a Harley infotainment system or you set up intercom directly between a pair of Sena 20s. Without having used the new module, I would surmise you could set up intercom either way.

You are right on with that comment. I am puzzled because the extra harness gives the 14-17 CB connectivity. If you don't have a CB in 17 I wouldn't think you would need the extra harness. That is a question to be posed to your dealer or HD directly.

On phone with HD customer service right now they are looking for a reason 2017 needs different harness.
The reason is the 2018 harness is not long enough to plug in on 2017 and below.
Problems with the web site but I do have mine ordered.
Dealer did say the SENA connect is really the same thing ??

I would speculate it can be done either way, but if the passenger wants access to the bikes audio resources, it would need to be connected to the bike, not directly to the rider's headset.

The WHIM module is an integrated Bluetooth module. It is made by Sena for HD. It will only work with Sena headsets. The lady you refer to is pushing a button on SPH 10 headset sold by HD. Apparently they are making this so riders that don't wear helmets or half helmets can still utilize all the functions of the infotainment system. I would think that since Sena is now a "partner" so to speak with HD, this and the Freewire are going to work much better with software updates from both HD and Sena. I guess we will see!
A quick web search for anatel I found this:
