Default Head unit replacement ??

Hello
2021 rgl
I installed yellow baskets, beyma 10" in saddles and 1200sd and 800sd amps with Rockford dsp. It pounds awesome. Soon as I turn on bike the bass drops and sound crappy. The HU was flashed. I'm being told I need a new aftermarket Hu, soundstream if I want same as parked while riding. The two bins files prevent this?

I dint know why the sound would change with the motor on..Msybr VOX is kicking in. Try turning off or lowering sensitivity of VOX.

There are two separate .bin files. Seems the one you have flashed and it's working well on is the engine off .bin. Other head units are not locked down like the HD BOOM system is, but I'm surprised there isn't a way to access and change the engine on .bin to get the audio output you want.

Wow, these posts are going to cost me some time and effort....

I have absolutely no idea what this .bin file stuff is all about.... But now I am curious...

I will be spending some time later today, doing some reading, to see what I can learn....

Thanks for sparking my interest...

when you get the knowledge, be sure to pass it on

i knew that there were 2 bin files, one for parked, one for running. but figuring out which ones i have loaded is a bit confusing. i can find 4 or more different bin files referenced through the gts.
