RE: HK Radio power question
One of them supposedly makes the radio or cd play louder. Another fixes fast running clocks.
Pez suggested not running higher than 8.11
I had 8.19 and didn't seem to have any problems but went back to the 8.11

RE: HK Radio power question
I think I've looked all over Hog Tunes web site and I can find no downloads ofany kind. Where did you find the software?
Another question - HD says that you have to have them enable the rear speakers, how do you do it if you get Hog Tunes?

Here is the answer I got from Harley Technical Support:
The previous radio (Radio Sound)needed the power interupted during starts to protect it. This was done through the starter relay. When the start button is pushed, the relay shuts off power to the radio as it turns on power to the starter solenoid. This system was carried into the '06 model year. In testing, they found that the new radio no longer needed this. As a product improvement, the radio power circuit was changed, so that radio power remains on during starts.[/align][/align]Unfortunately, this is not an easy retrofit because a '07 main harness will not fit a '06 bike without modification due to connector changes.

RE: HK Radio power question
All I could see on the HD site was a down load for 8.19. Where can I get 8.11? I still have 7.8 and haven't had any issues but if I can get more volume for free, I'm all for it....

I believe the 8.19 will include all the previous upgrades. I'd go ahead and do that download. If you have any problems I might be able to dig up the 8.11 for you.

RE: HK Radio power question
When you download the 8.19 version, there are 2 sections. My radio downloaded the first section, but left the previous edtion in the section section. I don't have the slightest idea what was accomplished and what didn't get done.
The radio sounds fine.
06 Ultra
