Default Fade not working

2015 Streetglide, stock head unit, Focal sport amp feeding 2 fairing speakers (CH-1/2) and 2 lids (CH-3/4)
I have the 2-plug ins going from the 2 fairing speaker connections and a separate one from the rear speaker connection going into the Focal amp
Amp is set for 4 channel
Head unit is flashed for 0 amps 4 speakers
I can not adjust the fade on the head unit
what is strange is something the fade bar will move on its own front or back if I make an adjustment as I tweek the gains or unplug a connector

Riding over the weekend - every time I shut the bike down and restarted it after a stop - the fade changed positions on it's own - one time full F, another time full R - other times randomly it was somewhere between the two
Must be some gremlin in the head unit so I''m going back to a set of Y-spliter off the front channels and disconnecting the rear channel plug unless someone has a clue

it just needs the correct flash, you might look for the RF flash everyone has been talking about.

What about a master reset before you even pull the fairing off? You will loose you navigation points and radio stations!

Can you tell me how to do a master reset & does it change any of the HD updates - will it change the 135 bin audio file I have?

From a older thread;

From Biketronics:

Performing a Rushmore Radio Reset:
First make sure the bike is not flashed for a stock HD amplifier. This can be
confirmed by ensuring one or both the fader control and the avc control are active.
If your bike came with a stock HD amplifier you will have to have the shop set up
the bike for zero amps, 4 speakers upper fairing/rear pods.
(Note: Owners on bikes that came without stock amp(s) should benefit from this
reset procedure without having to have the shop flash the radio for zero amps.)
1. Remove anything plugged into the radios USB port.
2. Keep any Bluetooth device away from the unit to avoid paring during
procedure.
IMPORTANT! - Be sure bikes on/off switch is off for at least one minute before
following this procedure.
3. Turn “run/kill” switch to “run” position.
4. Depress power/mute button on front of radio and turn ignition switch to “on”
position. (CONTINUE TO HOLD IN THE POWER BUTTON UNTIL AFTER YOU
DISMISS THE “ACCEPT” SCREEN.) Note: on 4.2 radios use joystick to perform
accept.
Radio should now be showing ‘Service Menu’.
5. Scroll down to menu pick “RESET.” Select RESET.
6. From the list of reset menu picks, select “Pre Calib. Reset”. You will be asked
to confirm your reset choice as: “Restore factory defaults.” Select Yes.
7. Radio will perform reset and reboot. After the reboot and “Accept”, turn off the
radio for at least one minute.
8. Power up the radio and enjoy!

Should not change the flash, that would have to be done through the ECM port.

Thanks - I'll give it a try - if it takes me away from the 4 speaker - 0 amp - 135 bin I have now I guess I can have the Rockford flash done
