Dealer is saying the flash must be done AFTER the install. Installation instructions say flash must be done BEFORE turning system on. What say you experts? Thanks.

‘15 Limited. Rockford Fosgate system.

 

Yes after the install before you turn it on.

 

Well dealer WOULD be the experts. lol And if they get it wrong, then would be liable for the screw up.

 

RF dealer or Harley dealer?

 

Thanks for the quick feedback! Marshall the dealer is both......RF dealer at HD dealership. Only source in town approved by RF to do the flash.

 

I wouldn't worry about who Rockford approves it's kind of an idiot proof deal to flash a bike. Any indy shop with a techno research can flash the Rockford flash it's literally a drop-down menu.

 

Dealer says after because that’s how the factory HD systems work.
Rockford says after because that is easier since the gains will have to be set after the flash is done due to change in output voltage from hu.

Either way makes no difference. Just reset gains after flash and don’t turn it up until flash and reset is done.
