Found an interesting article --- https://www.lawabidingbiker.com/whim...-update-issue/

I tried his suggested remedy, but it didn't work for me, so I went back to V1.1.14

Also discussed issue with the dealer, and they weren't sure what would cause this, so they were to contact HD about it and now we wait and see what they say.

I had the same issue with the initial install of my WHIM. It ended up being a bad WHIM module. Ask your dealer to install another module to see that fixes the issue. If so, it was a bad WHIM.

Have you tried the desktop software for configuring the headsets? It's the same software you use to upgrade the firmware. https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/e...nectivity.html

You can also get an app for your phone to pair and configure the headsets.

The only configuration that I see in the Device manager for the BOOM AUDIO EXPAND HEADSET is for speed dial, to add 3 phone numbers.

If there's an app, I can't find it in the App Store.

Discussed this issue with HD Customer Care yesterday, and the guy on the phone was just as miffed as I am as to why the CONFIG button isn't there, and told me that this latest update was supposed to fix this issue. He spent quite a bit of time typing up the issue, but since I called after all of the super-techs had left for the day, he said he'd address it today and call me back. Fingers crossed.

For Apple devices the app is called Sena Utility and it looks like it allows you to configure many models of Sena headsets. Not sure if that includes the HD branded versions. I have the HD version of the 30K and there's a separate app for that which works with the HD and non-HD versions. Also, when using the HD device manager on a PC with a 30K it allows you to configure everything, I guess it's not as robust for other models.

The App does allow HD versions of the Sena Headsets.
One thing I noticed since I updated the firmware on my 30K to 2.1 the other day is that the volume control on the left switchpack doesn't function correctly; it lowers the volume but won't increase it. I have the box checked that says "volume controls headset" and it worked fine before that update. I've unchecked it now and the handlebar volume adjusts the Boom volume as it should. Anybody else?

I think those headsets are good for pairing with phone and limited application with WHIM. I think you have to have the 20S or 30 headsets to use configuration settings on the WHIM.

I'm inclined to think so too.

I also see that the Sena Utility app doesn't list my headsets as compatible with it either.

I guess I should try and find someone close to me with a 20S or 30 headset and pair it to see if the config button appears. I actually have them working pretty good now. A friend of mine called me today while I was riding and he couldn't even tell that I was doing 70 on the highway.

It's hard being retired, you obsess over the dumbest things, haha!

The verdict is in - the advanced settings in the CONFIG menu are not available for the BOOM AUDIO EXPAND HEADSET.

I purchased the HD 20S Evo headset for my full face helmet today, did the update to it, paired it to the WHIM, and the CONFIG button appeared.

So, for anyone searching for this issue in the future, there you go.
