Shut off your radio and try to pull up Temp, Oil, EITMS, Compass info.

 

Brewmany - reference the reading USB.

I use to get that. Here is what I did. Make sure you have a backup of the music on the USB drive. Or, better still, put a like USP flash drive in your PC - completely format it.

Then, copy the music from the old flash drive to the new one. My bet is, you will no longer get Reading USB

 

I'd take that bet! Been there done that. Tried numerous usb units. Still get it, and always different each time bike is fired up. Sometimes it is flawless other times it locks up to the point where it does not play and bike shut down is required. It really sucks azz! And HD knows nothing of it each time I call. Cannot fix it without taking into dealer so they can talk to hd tech. Don't have that kind of time or money! Unfortunately I deal with it. What else can you do?

 

OK, Downloaded and Saved the CVO Version of 1.21.2.1 to my PC.

Extracted and renamed <swdl_boombox_6.5GT_CVO.1.21.2.1> as <swdl_boombox_6.5GT.1.21.2.1> to my 8GB Flash Drive that I have just for this purpose. FWIW I run the CVO version on my bike.

Someday . . . . if/when I get really bored . . . . I guess I'll update the bike . . . . again . . . . doesn't seem like there's much that is actually "fixed" in this version. At least nothing that I've noticed.

 

Sammer4u - thanks. Curious, what size flash drive are you using? I currently run a 16GB drive with tons of songs.

When I decided to run this one, I did try several others. I noted that 2 smaller drive seems to load much faster. Also noticed that when I tried to go with larger that 16 - the thing took forever to boot.

So, if you are running 16 or less, I still suggest your do a "full"- not quick format of your flash drive. I've done that several times for others - and, at least for me, it seems to work.

Good luck

 

About that- I noticed on my ride home last night that the "Reading USB" scroll wasn't happening anymore. Strange. I will keep your suggestion in mind, and keep watching things.

Thanks

 

Thanks - hopefully all is going to be Ok for you in the future.

Good luck

 

Reading through this thread for the first time I'm mostly seeing what hasn't been broken by the update ("no problems"), not was has been fixed or improved. I guess that's where we are with these software updates now, too bad, I was actually hoping for a software update that MIGHT improve something...

 

Has any one been successful at installing the new Dealer update file. If so how did you do it.
I did the firmware update all went fine. Dealer update just goes into a loop.

 

Don't know it this is your problem but I remember reading that BOTH files need to be on the FlashDrive as opposed to the software updates where only the one file is needed...
