I guess I am at a loss where to find the .bin file and how to adjust it.

My bass was up almost all the way when it was flashed, and there is little to now bass now.

Yea, the RCA "Adapters" that I got for front and rear on mine have gain adjust on them. I've not messed with it yet,, I may just a little this weekend. (have to take the fairing off to get to them,,) no biggie.

WE can't adjust the Bin file (Binary file) but to see what you have, while the run switch is in the run position, hold mute button and turn on ignition. (Wait for radio to "Load" then the music should go off, hit accept, then hit EQ when you see the diagnostic page, (DTC's is another choice on there) When you get to EQ. You can touch the " i " in the center of the arrow up and down on right side. This is your current bin file. Again, we can't change it,,

Yes, stock set-up on a 2014 FLHTCU with the 4.3. I just returned from a 5 hour run, with HD head unit adjustments flat on treble and bass IMHO still way too much treble/midrange and not enough bass. Slide the fader towards the rear Kickers and quickly distorts. As I said, still a vast improvement but could be better (I think).
Called my dealer's service dept and asked if they could squeeze in flashing the unit - I'm 2 hours away - "Oh heck no, 10 day backlog...." Think I'm just going to ride for a while and let the speakers break in.

For what it's worth, jmjohn has a thread on the roadglide
Org forum in the audio section addressing the flash issue.

LOL. . . I'd say it's golden as long as you go with his amp and speakers! JM does JM well!

I saw that but didn't know if JM's flash will work for Biketronics since they are different brands/hardware.

Thanks for the info on checking the bin file, I will look at it this weekend.

I know John and bill have been jointly looking for a solution. I kinda thought it may be specific to his equipment. It's a bit pricey, but if it works i may consider it.

I hear ya man. It's starting to look like the only people who are going to have the resources to fix the issue is Harley Davidson. Problem is. . . I'm not sure they want to.

That's fantastic if John and Bill are working together. I had not heard that.

Same situation here.

2014 SGS
Radio version: 1.19.1
BT 2180/7.1 Pro

Radio flashed via BT Option 2: 1 amp, 2 fairing speakers.

BIN after flash: 128_off.bin

No bass or treble control in the radio. Sliders move, but don't change anything.
