Well that is just wonderful- Now maybe they will put some effort in getting the system to work with iPhone 11 models since we have been dealing with not able to use the phone when connected to CarPlay. Been over 5 months and neither them or Apple seems to be able to fix the problem that is if they have even been working on the issue. This crap is getting OLD.

Those without Boom Box GTS can order the system for 2014 and newer Touring, CVO and Trike models as an accessory. However, eligible models must have the previous Boom Box 6.5GT system already installed.

Spoiler

Right but I’m not spending that on a new head unit. Not worth it to me.

The only thing I'm concerned about is that USB charging may be slow vs a car charger plugged in to the cigarette lighter port.

I see Harley having issues getting it to work right will all the various android phones out there.

They are still trying to fix issues with the Navigation part also.
