Default Headlight flash and Android auto questions

So is there a flash for a 2015 Limited to have both the high and low beams on at the same time? If there is I need the flash id to tell the stealership please. And I was looking forward to adding Android Auto to my bike but now I am hearing that I would have to buy a new radio to get it. I would really like Google maps on the screen. Thanks in advance! Rocco

Yes about the headlight - I had my done some time ago (2014). Sorry, I don't have the id number.

Also for android auto on the bike, you need to purchase this (andriod auto is suppose to be Summer 2020) Some guys were going to the Sony AV7000 radio - but, you lose the intercom and the CB

Android Auto from Harley isn't offered for your Boom yet.

Mike300 - the unit I listed is a GTS unit that is available for the 2014 - 2018 bikes. It replaces the GT6.5 Boom Box. With this upgrade, you will actually have the 2019+ radio.

Take a look at the site and view the fitment

That's bs man. I think you are right but there should be no reason y they could not flash the stock 6.5 GT to handle this. I love my bike but Harley is killing off its customer base with **** like this. I am fighting right now to get a bad fog light replaced because it got water in it and the water stayed over winter. This has happened a few times over the last three years. I started trying to get it replaced with my local dealership 3 years ago as it was installed in 2016(I barley ever ride n the rain). We will see how that goes. 600 bucks for the 2 fog lights and the separate mounting brackets is a lot of scratch. So, with the flash for the light that I HAD done my driving lights stay on with my high beams. I want everything to be on when I hit the bright lights switch including the low. Is that possible?

Ya i know about all that, but he's assuming the update will work on his GT radio, it will not.

The flash is so the passing lamps stay on when You switch to high beam.

The flash works for the aux lights to remain on with both high & low beam.
The low beam does not remain on when you select high beam
