All kinds of problems with this upgrade. Some work some don't.
Mine did not work. I used the same disc on another street glide and it worked
fine. Tried it on S/G # 3 and the same disc got stuck in the player.
It really sucks that Harmon Kardon hasn't come to the table with something
that works for all.[:@]

Good luck

Yes you must DL both files and burn both files to a CD at the same time.

factory says when the cd gets stuck to pull the maxi fuse, wait five minutes & put it back in. CD will, or should, eject...

Well i updated my radio last night. It worked out great, No problems at all. So i called Bonefishkid up and had him come by the house to try the CD i burned. It also worked great in his bike.It seems to me if you are having a problem it may be the way the CD was burned. Be sure to follow the directions closely. You have to make sure you unzip the files and burn them at 8X also make sure the disc is finalized.

I also did the update last night with no problem. Downloaded both files to computer and then burned them to CD-R. I followed the directions from the Harley site exactly. (Don't close the CD door)Once I installed the disc the radio did the rest on it's own and even ejected the disc when it was finished. It took between 7-10 minutes. Now I can see the info from my MP3 disc and certain stations of the FM radio now show text.

Followed the instructions and it worked great, the second time. The first time, it went looking for the mp3 cd, read in the name, clicked a few tiems then beeped (more like screeched). After the second run through, everything seems to work like a champ. So the next update, get playlists to work!
