This AM the SM at my dealership had 2 of our Road Captains (that weren't able to be switched on the first attempt) bring their bikes back in. He successfully switched functions on both bikes today. I didn't talk to the SM directly, but it appears the new Tech II update has been released & it works. Bikes were '14 FLHTK w/mixed new/old switchpacks & '14 SGS w/CB added (again mixed new/old switchpacks).

OK, need a favor from someone with the lighted switch packs. I was out riding yesterday and got home after dark, I noticed the 2 switches/buttons (CB and Cruise) and the 2 joysticks are NOT lit up. All the other buttons (signals, start-stop) are illuminated but not those 4. Makes me wonder why Harley charges more for those lighted switches if they don't light up...UNLESS there's something wrong with mine. Can someone check theirs and let me know...really appreciate it, TIA!

Thank you Prairie, that's what I saw last night, the arrows were lit but not the switches...which raises the question, WHY DOES Harley charge $6 more for the lighted buttons vs. the non-lighted ones...hmmmm!

I haven't done the switch yet as I can't find a dealer who can do it yet, I'm working on that. So no, I don't need them yet, if I break one that's another story. I just wanted to know if they lit up or if my switch packs were not working correctly, you and Prairie answered that for me! Thanks...

I called a dealer in Michigan who, as reported from a member here had done the update. He started explaining things to me, when I mentioned the lighted switch packs he seemed to think that was the problem with mine not being able to be switched. He did mention that a new update to the Tech II was coming soon which would solve all the problems, the same thing my local dealer told me. I stopped by my local dealer today and he said nothing yet, I'll try again next week.

This is my first HD with cruise or CB, so I used to where they are positioned. However, I agree with what you wrote in red above. In addition, trying to turn the volume up on the radio and hitting RESUME on the cruise while spilting lanes in CA is a thrill

A tip for the bumps causing squelch down while in transmit mode: Pull the PTT switch cover, find an o-ring of proper size, slip in over the switch cover & put it back together. Won't completely fix the problem, but it will help lesson the issue. The squelch up/down will still function, but the o-ring will add extra resistance helping reduce the bumps' influence on PTT operation.
