Audio System Fix
I've got a 2014 FLHTK, with a Boom Box problem a few of you are also having. After the bike sits and you start it up it doesn't always return To section of the stereo you were last listing to, in my case it goes from listening to music through the USB port, then after sitting, and on restart, it goes to the weather station. I have read alot of threads on here about the same problem, but no real fixes. Has anyone here had the same problem, and found a fix. My bike does have the 1.17.5 So0ftware.
Thanks in Advance

Not sure about always having the re-start setting defaulting to whatever you like, but, I do know how to stop it from going to the weather band by itself...
You have to uncheck the option for WB alerts.
Not only does it cut in every time there is an alert (seems to be constantly here in Iowa), but if there was an alert since your last shutdown, it has to go there on startup as well.
Worked for me, WB has not cut in by itself once since changing that setting months ago.
All the best,
Shane

I also have the volume problem. The dealer will tell you to shut the bike off and restart it...essentially a reboot. Is it a solution to the problem, no, but it seems to work in most cases.

After start up, go to Home, then Set Up.
Go to Audio, then AVC
Toggle it to off then full on
Done
When speed increases so will the volume.

I turned weather alerts off, no more WB start ups.
I set a playlist from my iPod to #5 on favorites, if my bike starts up in radio mode all I need to do is select #5 and my iPod starts right back up, as easy as changing a radio station.
I don't need to go thru the steps of left button select media highlight media select iPod look for play list highlight.
Wow now that I right this I am going to try and use multiple play list on favorites.
