Default New 500w HD Amp

Just installed the newest 500 watt HD Branded amp in my 2024 Road Glide. After initial install no audio then shut the bike down, unplugged the amp, good to go.

Next day turned the bike on, no audio. Went to the speaker setup and under the amp it showed -1 and did not show speakers installed.

perhaps it needs a software update?

Yes, I had same issues. Go to the HD website and download the latest software update. You will need two thumb drives. If it happens again, turn run/start button to run and then pull the maxi fuse, turn switch back off. Wait a few minutes and reinstall fuse. That fixed mine.

Default Fixed

Dealer had to update the software to the amp as well as the radio. All is well.
