A Harley dealer needs to hook-up the Digital Technician to "calibrate" the radio.

It needs the region code set. Your dealer has to do it with the Digital Tech computer.

Don't know for sure but I would try pulling the Maxi fuse for a good 10 minutes or even overnight. Also I think I remember reading a procedure for rebooting the radio by holding in certain buttons as you power it up. Check your Owner's or Service manual.

The thought here is that there is a glitch in the system and rebooting or disabling the power to it long enough for it to reset itself might fix it. Kinda like when your computer is acting up and you reboot.

Which radio? I went with the Biketronics Retro Radio and a Sony head unit.No beep or messages.

Dealer or Iron Cross Audio are probably your only options.

Is this a Sony headunit? They have a annoying beep like that as a reminder to remove the faceplate.

Pulling the fuse WILL NOT fix it. It is a setting that HAS to be manually confirmed with the computer so that the radio knows what part of the world it is in.

Maybe it's a 70's radio and wants you to play the Tony Orlando song "Knock 3 Times" ? Sorry, had to say it.
