Default 2023 CVO Street/Road Glide Wireless Headset

For those who have the new 2023, are you forced to use the HD branded wireless headsets to get full fidelity like you do with prior year models with the WHIM installed?

Yes. You have to use Harley branded SENA to get best sound.

So a WHIM is needed on the new 2023 CVO Street Glide and Road Glide? I know it has an entirely new Infotainment system which was the reason for the question.

WHIM is standard on CVO SG and RG.

im specifically asking about the newest CVO Street Glide. The current whim, which I have, does not fit according to the HD parts site. The 2023 CVO has an all new infotainment system. I still do not know if I’m required to use HD branded wireless headsets with this new system to get full fidelity or will the new system will allow for others with full fidelity.

I knew you were asking about the ‘23 CVO, and I thought I heard that they did have the WHIM. I may have misunderstood. Maybe it’s a different WHIM than that of the GT and GTS. Also, I highly doubt that HD would allow a non HD branded headset to work in stereo through the infotainment system; they most definitely should, but Harley is not known to let go of potential profits.

You are probably correct. I haven't found WHIM or similar device on the HD site yet (doesn't mean one doesn't exist). I guess I am hoping that I won't be limited to HD branded versions just so I have more to choose from. I currently have an HD branded Sena....and its been fine and don't have any real complaints. I just like to keep my options open. Thanks!

No WHIM on the 23 CVO Road glide or Street Glide, it's an all new head unit. The 23 Anniversary CVO road Glide limited comes with a WHIM.
