Default Radio, CB, Intercom
Sure hope someone on here has a solution for me. I spent a ton of money having a OEM CB installed on my EG Classic. Before spending major bucks I always research everything, trying to cover all the bases. However, something has come up that I never once thought about. I am one of those riders that does not like listening to music when riding. I want to hear my bike, the engine, everything going on around me. So, I'm out trying out my new CB and everything works great ....... except one thing ....... I can't figure out how to have the CB on and not have the radio play. I take it by the local HD dealer and they tell me that's not possible. They said there is no way to have the radio silent and still monitor the CB. Please, please tell me they are wrong!

For that to happen just turn the radio volume down and leave the CB radio volume up. They are both controlled separately.

Or put the radio in the "AUX" input mode.

Sorry about that. Must have had a brain fart. So simple, but just couldn't figure it out.
Thanks for the comebacks.

At least your CB works, my jackass dealer screwed up the flash and moved it to the Media menu and wanted me to pay for them to diagnose it. They can eat a bag of d**ks.

Don't worry about it. I had to ask why I couldn't hear the CB but could hear the radio just fine. Had no idea they each had their own separate volume control. So who looked worse?
