Default Bluetooth issues

Ok so I own a 19 street glide special, I believe it's the boom box gts system the problem I'm having is if I'm listening to the radio stations audio works just fine but when I swap over to play from bluetooth the sound cuts out about 30sec into the song and comes back 30sec to a min later and it continues to do this. The time is not exact it just keeps doing it and I don't know why. Someone please help I just bought this bike back in September and the dealership was no help on what's wrong with it..

Sounds to me like a weak signal to the device supplying the HU.

OP - it might be a little difficult for us to help, without knowing what unit you have. Might I suggest you take a monent and try to post a picture - this way we can see if you have the GTS.

I will say that, based on what I have read so far, I sort of agree with an earlier poster that says it may well be a weak or loss of signal.

Well It was really nice out yesterday and so I was able to get out and ride and noticed that it is doing it even when the radio plays now.
