You will just need a line out converter to add RCA's to connect to amp. I use the PAC SNI15
I was thinking that there were different RF flashes, bepending on how many speakers are being used. Thanks for clearing that up.
There is a local RF shop near by, and advertises that they do motorcycle audio installs so I would think they should be able to flash my head unit. I'll call now that I know what I'm sorta talking about.

Altered Sound in Oakville, ON will do the RF flash. I'm booked for Monday. Not sure how much of a haul that is for you.

there are several guys you can just send your Hu to, they will flash it and send it back,

Thanks for that canuck! I'm north of Barrie so most likely 1 1/2 hours...depending on day/traffic. What kind of lead time...when did you book? If you don't mind me asking, what are they charging...in the $50~$75 range?

Thanks mike, but not really an option here in Canada. I'd have to pull the HU and most likely be without for a minimum of 2~3 weeks by the time it ships through customs (both ways) and cost would be prohibitive.
Sucks for us north of the border getting product & service!

Was able to book a week in advance. For whatever reason my sig file is not updating but my bike is a 2019 FLHTK/GTS HU, SD 1200.4S with MMats in both fairing and LC lowers; tuned per sticky on this forum. Haven't gotten around to the tourpak yet. It now sounds much warmer & cleaner with the RF flash; YMMV. Very positive experience for me with this shop however, google their reviews. Call them for a quote however your price expectations seem fairly low.

Today I had the dealer flash my HU with the RF flash. That's what I was told anyways. When I got home I removed the BT355 and installed the PAC sni-15. I went into the HU to see what flash was done. Before the flash it was set on 01_OFF.bin, after the flash the 08_OFF.bin is highlighted and also gave me the option for the fader. It sounds so much better than before. I actually have bass now.

Is the 08_OFF.bin the RF flash? Also I tried to adjust the gain on the amp. Before the FR flash, I had the gain set to 24.5v. With the flash ,the most volts I can get it going to the speakers using a DMM is 18.2v. I ended up setting the gain by ear. 3 bars before max volume, bass and treble set in the middle using a 1000hz - 5dB.

Why is that? I used 2 different DMM and I get the same reading.

Not that specific one, I did use another access one but didn't like it. Ended up with a t-harness, very happy with it.
