Default Problem with the radio/stereo

Hi guys,

Thank you!

I guess I haven't had that problem with mine. Is it just the light or is the radio turning on and off as well. It could be a loose connection in one of the wires.

Does anyone know if the website has any new updates to be downloaded and installed in the radio? When I 1st got my bike in Nov. 08' I did the download and installed the new software just to be sure. So far the only problem I have had with mine has just started. It seems to forget what I let it on,AM-FM-AUX-WB,or what.

Just thought I would post. I just checked the website for the radio software updates and the newest software is v8.21.0 so I went to check my system,what I have is v8.19.0 so even though I have updated before there is a new version. I am going to get that installed today sometime and see what happens. Just thought I would let you guys in on the info I found out. I hope it helps.

What's the process for updating the software? Is that something the dealer has to do?

It does not have to be done by the dealer. I used to find the link to the new software on the H-D site,but I had to go to the H-D Talking Forum this time. I could not get it to work this time. I did it myself when I 1st got my bike but I just got a new laptop and I don't think I an burning the software to the CD properly.I don't know if I can but I will try to post the link to the website.
