Default 2019 Boombox GTS Bluetooth + Android Pixel issues solved

2019 Street Glide with Boombox GTS, trying to stream over bluetooth from a Pixel2XL. I had to dig around for a bit to figure this out, the source I found from cvo forums never showed up in searches. I don't think there's anything on hdforums about fixing it, hopefully it helps some others out with the new radios and BT problems.

Source: https://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=118135.0

Problem:
On the Boombox GTS, using a Pixel[2/3] device after recent updates around 5/19, Bluetooth will connect but stop streaming music (pandora/spotify/anything) after ~15 seconds. I tried unpairing devices, rebooting the phone with the bike off, etc. Tried an older galaxy phone and no issues streaming, so figured it was a pixel issue.

Solution:
Enable developer options on your device, find the bluetooth AVRCP default version and change it from 1.4 to 1.3. It doesn't sound like anything over 1.3 works well with this radio. Fixed my problems at least.

You rock! This was driving me absolutely crazy as my wife's Samsung S9 was working fine. Now if I could only get the USB in the storage compartment to work!

Thanks brother! Your solution seems to work for me. I'm still using 1.4 and it's working. All I did was enable the developer feature and so far so good. Again, much appreciate your solution. This has been driving me crazy for the last three months.
