The biggest limitation is stereo with HD branded, mono with other.

"The 2022 Road Glide Limited DOES HAVE the 7-pin plug."

I stand corrected. I know the 2021 CVO Limited did not have the plug. Learn something every day.

that's because the cvo came with the whim pre-installed and the wireless headset. the road glide limited does not come standard with those items.

Is there a user selectable choice on the Boom to change back and forth between wireless and wired?
No it is one or the other

All SENA and many other brands will work with the WHIM.
The HD branded SENA will work in Stereo and also allow more on control through HD system. Free wire is a sloppy work around . All SENA head set

I just bluetooth my Cardo to my phone and jumpered the mic pins in the plug to enable car play. Easy peasy, great audio and all the controls at my fingertips

And just to really drive the point home.. it's not just MONO audio. It's seriously degraded low quality mono audio. Seriously, it sounds like the music is being broadcast from the moon on a low power AM radio station.

I tried it with a 20S and ended up getting the Harley branded 20S. It's definitely the expensive way to go but it sounded SO terrible there was no way I was going to make it work.

It's a shame Harley went that route.. other bike makers let you use whatever head you like. But once you get it all in place it does work.
