Default My whim experience

So I ride a 2016 Ultra limited and have used the wired sound to the helmet from the start. On a “whim” I picked up the system and installed. What a difference. Not having the wire, which I thought was no big deal... makes a huge difference. I recommend it if you have been considering it. The sound quality is excellent as well.

I agree. I just had it installed on my 2018 Street Glide. It took me some time to get it set up, but now my wife and I can both run the stereo through our touring helmets, and when we talk to each other, the stereo mutes itself until we stop talking. Pretty sweet.

Gwatt. I admit I have done little research but I am looking at adding WHIM to my 17 Limited Low. What are using in your helmets? Sena or HD?

I just listed everything needed for the WHIM setup and a set of dual headsets in the classified section, Listed at $800 and will consider reasonable offers.

It’s much better without the hard wired set up.

You have to use the HD branded wireless headsets in order to get stereo.....every thing else you will only get mono in the headset
