Default No more GPS modules?

So, it seems that the plug-in GPS plug-in module for the Harmon Kardon systems that still come on the Ultras and still have the "nav" button is no longer available. Is that true?

Seems like that would make the H-K system itself obsolete in a way.

Any info on aftermarket plug-in modules would be very much appreciated.

From what Harley told me, people are buying the handle bar mounted so it was not going to make the module available anymore! I had to call 8 different stated to find the module for mine, But I did talk them down in price! I like a clean look and a friend of mine has the module and it works great! There are still some out there. I had not found any other modules out there! I tried everywhere!

Great minds think alike I guess. I want the clean look too. Also something that just shows me where to turn, how many miles to go etc. Don't need/want a color map or any of that other stuff.

I recently had my radio back light changed over to blue to match my Dakota Digital gauges, and while speaking with the Service Manager for Iron Cross Audio, he informed me that there is a newer version of the CDs - Version II which has 3 CDs vice the 2 in Version I. After checking with many Harley dealerships, I have not been able to locate Version II yet. Does anyone have any additional information?

I hadn't heard about the GPS module being unavailable, but Harley discontinued the Bluetooth module early last year.

I found several through my local dealer doing a nationwide search of dealerships.

Thanks for all responses.
