Default 6.5 boombox software update

Against my better judgement I loaded the latest version on my 17 FLHXS.1.22.0.1 Now the radio has to be on for me to see the the i info. Since I don't keep the radio on this is a PITA.
Also my fuel was low so I rode till the fuel light came on and that was all that happened. With the radio off again, there was no typical 36r displayed in the speedo and the boom box screen did not come on to let me know I was low and ask me if it could direct me to the nearest station. WTF.
Does anyone have the original version 1.20.0.1 they can send me?

If I knew how to check the version and capture it I would send it to you.

The Boombox has to be the least important thing on my Road Glide, at least to me anyway.

Thanks Joe, I tried to find out how to download the original but could not find any info on how to do it. After a recent 7 day trip my mission is to explore the features this system has to offer.
Please, I don't want to start a debate on how good or bad the system is, that's a topic for another thread.

That's what I've been doing and then leaving the gps map on the screen.
Does anyone have the issue with the fuel reserve not appearing on the odometer when the fuel light comes on with the 1.22.0.1 update?

I can confirm that my odometer does display the fuel reserve normally with the 1.22.0.1 update installed. Low fuel light comes on, reads something like R 35 or close. I can't speak to the other functions since my head unit is always on.

I believe you will get better information on this forum as opposed to your dealer.
