Default 350 Subscription?

If you get a 2024 CVO model, you get navigation and other goodies.
If you have a regular Street Glide or Road Glide you can pay $350 for a subscription that lasts for 3 years.
What a rip off. You know someone somehow will hack this thing.
However, Apple car play can be used and you can use iPhone Maps or Goggle maps from your iPone. Not sure about Android phones. So that's a plus.

Well, if you don`t want nav, you don`t have to pay anything.

If you want Nav, you pay.

Being charged for a product is not a ripoff.

You missed my point. I don't have an issue for paying for something, it is the subscription that I object to.
Regardless they have apple play and that will take care of that issue. Found out that android has been kicked to the curb.

I didn't see the video yet, But i'll. Subscription...in a way that it let's you use the Nav software for 3 yrs and then it vanishes or after you run out of subscription, one is stuck with old maps ?

eg...Is it a subscription like Adobe lightroom that one has to pay $10/month to use it....

Hmm, I’ve asked this question at the dealer today and was stood it’s a one time charge. My interpretation of a description is that you’d get updates and live traffic (with cell connection) after 3 years updates would stop, now if nav remains functional with whatever maps there are, I don’t have a problem .

Enable built-in navigation. When dealer tried to turn on nav on 24 RG today it just presented a QR code, I guess one scans it and be directed to website to pay and unlock the feature. CarPlay still available regardless.

You mean playing the Telsa game, where everything is already installed on the car, and just a mater of paying to have it activated or not?

Don't get me started, since the Toy FJ's had items the same way, like the A-trac system in them for the base model from the start, and to get the system in the base model, only had to install the switch.

As for someone cracking the HD software to activate such from the start, can see that happening since already being done on the Telsa's, but with bike still under warrenty, going to be bloody hell if HD catches such during warrenty service, and not only bricks the option, but voids the warrenty on the new bike for the cracked software.

What the dealer told me is that you pay the 350, that unlocks your navigation permanently. The 350$ includes 3 years of live traffic and weather overlay on the factory GPS. If you don't renew the subscription, you still have navigation, just not the live traffic and weather. I'm pretty sure that is the same way Indian runs their stuff.
