Anyone have an ideas on these:

1. Set up Bluetooth with iPhone, everything works. Turn off bike, turn on later, and I have to go and turn Bluetooth on again in the HD Info BT set up.

2. After I choose the bike icon in the navigation GPS settings, if I turn off the bike and turn it on again, it goes back to the default blue arrow.

3. It seems it takes forever for the voice recognition to initialize.

Has anyone tried or set up the global favorites or settings yet?

Well number two was fixed in the last software update. Did you do that?

Supposedly the dealer took care of the update, I had asked specifically for them to check and perform prior to me picking it up on Friday. I will double check the unit tomorrow and see what version is loaded.

You were right - checked software version, the dealer forgot to update the software - did it this morning, and now everything works as it should. Good call to double check that - THANKS!

I have 17.4 upgrade and avc set at 4 bars.It still fluctuates,You never know what to expect sometimes lowers correctly,sometimes no change.Love the bike,so I tolerate the avc.
The ony question I have is why is the kickstand lower than 2012 limited?Harder to lift 2014 off kickstand!Did They do this so You can lower bike and kickstand will be correct? I learned a long time ago not to lower the bike,just the seat.I want to put a 2012 kickstand on so I can lift the bike up easier!!!!

On the AVC, in a perfect world, more bars or less bars, what affect is that supposed to have on the way it works?

The more bars you have lit up the greater the change in volume. I keep mine at the max 4 bars all the time. Doesn't do much if I turn it down any.

Has anyone had any luck correcting this issue ?

I have the same issue. Any fix for it yet?
