Anyone else have any $0.02 on this? I ride mostly alone and have no desire for Siri or any mic functionality. For me, the benefit of riding is that I can’t answer the phone or text!
I'm calling bullshit, I have no proof, I'm stopping by my local dealership to pick something up this evening I will ask their service guys.

It’s true. I am one of only two that was able to get it done here at my dealer before H-D shut off the option.

Don't be surprised if the next time you get service and the dealer connects Digitech to your bike, that your BOOM system is automatically updated and the "No Mic" checkbox capability is deleted from your bike.​​​​​​

My service girl is on it. She already told me if the radio gets flashed it’s gone. She also told me there is no reason to touch the radio unless I state an issue with it.
Im hoping for no issues as I really like the CarPlay.

I'm curious if this change will happened during a regular USB update.

SO all this talk about apple carplay and whether it works with the whim or without.

I'm an android guy. So....anyone have experience with the new GTS radio and how well android works/connects?

CarPlay is an Apple thing so that won't work with the Android. Not sure if an Android will connect with the GTS or not.

Yes I know....lol I mention Apple Carplay in my post...lol Although didn't realize I was on a thread entitles Carplay hack. Sorry I guess I should have asked this in a more generic GTS thread.
