Default Flash 2016 street glide

I stop off at a Harley dealership today to get an appointment to have my 2016 street glide flashed. I was told they can only flash for factory radio and amps. I was told that they cannot flash radio for aftermarker parts. Do they know what they are talking about. I told them it is the same as boom audio, 0 amps and 4 speakers. I was told that the digital tech would not find the aftermarker parts. I said that is because they are not installed yet. Can Harley flash my radio or do I need to send it off?


Thanks

Jimmied ,,,,, it is unfortunate, but your local Harley dealer is probably the worst place to go for a radio flash, even though all they have to do is flash it as if it is just stock with NO AMP ,,,,, ((4-speakers, upper-fairing, rear-pods, no-amp)) ,,,,

if you can find a local non-Harley shop with a techno-research digital technician, have them flash your radio for you, either as the stock flash OR the J&M custom flash (((see

Thanks. I will look tomorrow for local audio dealers. If I can find the software I will do it myself. (I understand I will need to make a patch cable) I should have told them that I was adding a Tour Pack and not said anything else. I know to keep my mouth shut next time I go to the Harley Shop.
Once again thanks for your input.
