Default Automatic Compression Release

Looked at harleys site. Couldn't find an answer. Does a 2019 limited come stock with automatic compression releases?
I ask because I've seen threads mentioning them. If so are they set up to operate out of the box or do they need to be flashed by dealer to work?

Yes, it does, and they are already programmed to work.

Curious, can they be manually released if need be?
On one hand the age old debate about simple being reliable, vs not being a dinosaur.

Japs have been doing for a few years. Remember when Harley riders would take about jap bikes copying them?
