correct. Dealers can’t do the flash with their HD software unless Boom is recognized. The options won’t show up on their screen.

I think that depends on the dealership. My dealership asked me if I wanted to flash for an amp or not when they did my bike. I told them no amp and just flash for 4 channel no amp like an ultra per recommendations from here. They could have flashed for an amp and in hind site I wish I had them do it. I wouldn't have to had it flashed again. im not sure just what tools they were using but I don't think it was HD programmer. Now I have no LOC or rca connections in line. Just molex connectors from hu to the amp with fade control.

I would love to get the LL out. I have played with the ***** on them and am in the camp that thinks it could be better without them. I am not going to start down the dsp path until he winter.
So my dealer will do flash for me. 2 questions,
1 what is the wiring adapter to go from the HD speaker out Molex to rca in for the amps? I am running 2 amps one off the front out for the fairing and lowers with PA and one off the rear out for the 6x9 lids. I use fade to try to balance a bit since no dsp.
2 what are the sound differences between them? Functionally sounds like I want the HD 6 speaker 2 amp flash.

All the molex connectors are available thru vtwin audio or namz

So I am still confused. Can you get the 6/2 flash without fade if you don’t have the Boom amp or can the software not do anything except 2/0 4/0 when no Boom amp is installed. Seem to be getting conflicting reports here. Like I said sin my previous post, my dealer will do anything I ask as long as the software is capable.

Time will tell if it works or blows up my shix. I did rewire the amp eliminating the rca's and LL, retuned and it sounds good to me.
BTW I noticed my company (RF). lol

I had the dealership flash my hu for the 4/0 to give me fade control right after I installed the system. When I had the audio shop flash it, they flashed it for 4 channel/1 amp and tried 6 channel/2 amps and it sounded better so that is what I ended up with. No loss of fade control.

BTW wife is happy with HCX 165s/TM400X4AD combo you suggested so maybe you are on the right track.
