BOOM! Bluetooth "reading" issue
I noticed this problem starting yesterday as I played music through my cellphone via Bluetooth.
Everything will show up normal with the first song. After I press "seek" I notice that the very top of the display (where it normally says the device name goes "Reading" then 1 dot, 2 dot, 3 dot before displaying the device name then going back to reading. It repeats continuously. With this, all the display says is "Unknown Artist....Unknown Album" and displays an incorrect song length time. Prior to yesterday, it displayed the track name, album name, and correct length of song just fine.
It's certainly coming from the bike as the phone works fine with my truck and other Bluetooth devices. Even using the USB plug in gets the "Reading...Phone. Reading.....Phone" thing.
I tried disconnecting and unpairing the phone to the bike and reconnecting....didn't fix it. Updated the BOOM! software version...didn't fix it.
Any ideas?

iPhone or android? Mine does this intermittently (iPhone) One ride it’s fine, next it’s fubar. No rhyme nor reason to it. Talked to service manager, he was working with Harley on another owner and iPhone dumbness, per hm moco is chasing all kinds of things with iPhone due to Apple changes that they are making updates to match and also fixing bugs. The famous fixed in next release.
Not holding my breath, I have had this intermittent reading and device is syncing issue for 4 years on every version of software from HD and Apple.. resets and updates do not do any good, disconnect phone, restarting the bike seems to help often.
I am starting to correlate issues to when I take the bike from off straight to acc to do nav tunes whatever and then to run. Seems that’s when I have most issues. If I don’t go to acc I have fewer issues. Still tracking that so not sure about it yet. YMMV.
