Great! Finally! And it helps the ill will they generate by making it a free upgrade to older gts bikes. How about enabling bluetooth!!!!! (Without a whim)

Freaking AWESOME! I've been waiting for this since I got the 2019 with the GTS. Guess what...no more relying on the frigg'n outdated Romanian map set. NaviExtras can kiss our ***'s.
So how is this going to work - Will I be anble to do this by plugging into the USB port? Not interested in voice commands, just maps and music streaming services. Right now I stream music services via bluetooth, which has a cost in terms of volume. Wired is louder, but on Android, streaming music services doesnt work through USB (music on phone yes, but not music services. I dont carry music on my phone)

The Android Auto interface should load on to the GTS's display similar to how Apple CarPlay loads. When you plug your phone into the USB port you'll end up with a simplified interface to use most audio and navigation apps you have on your cell phone.
Don't be surprised if you need to jump through a few hoops to get it to work with no headset connected like CarPlay was at first.

Interesting. Looks like GTS only so wont help me with 2017 model. Glad to see it for those that will benefit.
from what I read, I think 2014 and up can uprade
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.
