I have a 2014 SG with the standard radio and I am dealing with static and popping sounds. Anyone dealing with this.

I had the popping sound until I realized it was the vox on the intercom triggering. Shut off the intercom or adjust the sensitivity. Also make sure the CB is off or make sure the squelch is set properly. And shut the weather band off as well. No more pops.

Btw, the speed volume works fine on my 2014 Limited. I have the latest update from the HD site.

On my 14 SGS my left thumb control lever button (left and right next song) stopped working (maybe after the last update) when my iPhone 5 is plugged in or if a USB flash drive is plugged in with music on it. It does work on the iPhone if it is not plugged in and playing music over Bluetooth. The left and right functions seems to work with all other functions as well. Anyone had this problem as well it seams like a software issue to me?

I haven't listened to AM since 1964 I dunno, when I first got it, the popping on FM was really bad. After the update and turning off all the things than "interrupt" the FM (intercom, cb wb), I've got no popping now.

One of my buddies' 2014 Limited had this issue. Turned out to be a bad antenna connector under the flap in the front of the TP. Bike was delivered damaged from the factory. Connector/wiring was replaced, problem fixed. You might look there?

First visit to the dealer, they ordered a new antenna cable and replaced it.

Please accept my sincere apology for listening to AM. I live close to St Louis. I don't know if you were aware, but they have a baseball team. They played in some kind of tournament thing with Pittsburg, Los Angeles and Boston.. It was broadcast on AM radio. I was wanting to listen to it while riding. Except for that Boston thing. Anyway I see you are from NJ. How bout them Mets.
