Default Dead Boom system?

2017 Ultra Limited, 945 miles. Went to lunch and everything was fine. Went to leave, and the radio would not function. Like at all. The screen won't even light up. Tried restarting the bike several times, and also using the power button on the Boom unit itself. When I did that, the hazards started to flash.

Anyone seen gremlins like this? Anyone else have issues with the system dying?

Tom

I haven't seen this, but maybe the folks in the Audio Systems forum have.

Try a reset.

1. Turn IGN OFF. Wait 15 seconds.
2. Press and hold power/mute button. Turn IGN to ACC.
3. Continue to press power button for 2 seconds after the WARNING screen is displayed.
4. Release power/mute button and accept warning.
The service menu may display Diag Service not Availiable when a menu option is initially selected. This message will clear once the system has finished performing the power-on process. Options are: DTCs, Audio, Display, Key input, Component menus, Version info, Reset, Touchscreen.
Reset: Pre-calibration reset: Restores fatory default settings. This is recommended when there are radio symptoms and no DTCs*
Post calibration save: Archives customers settings so that they can be restored after a Post calibration Reset.
Post calibration reset: Resets the radio to factory default settings and restores the last archive data stored during Post calibration Save.

That did the trick! Thank you very much. I take the bike in next week for the 1K service, so I'll mention it to them then so they can look for any codes or something unusual. But again, thanks for getting me back on the road.
