Went with this for less than MSRP, plus new Jensen speakers. Very happy

Code B-2017
My radio works once in a while if I play with the speaker switch. I checked for a code and got B-2017. I plugged the headset in and can't hear anything out of it also. Would this be the chip in the radio, bad switch, or loose speaker wire?
Sounds more like a switch failure, but that should have been partially bypassed with the headphones.
You can give Iron Cross Audio a call and they can most likely tell you what to try. They do repairs on these units that seem to last better than new.
Or you could take advantage of one on the forums for sale. Maybe use both services.

I tried this on my stock HK radio, 2011 FLHX. No DTCs but it says to upgrade to ST 10 and SMS 320.
What is that and is it a dealer only install?

Just a heads up for everyone. Last week my aux jack was shorting out on the right channel. I took the head unit out and the face plate off only to find one of the solder joints had broke loose. Fixed it with soldering iron and good to go.

HK diagnostic
I have a 2008 FLHTCU .......all sound is gone....it was working fine when I started this little project.........I recently changed bars.....and in the process found a broken fairing mount.....between the mounts and the bars I got to disturb lots of wires.
My issue is I had tunes when I started ...the face says all is functioning (all the handle bar controls make the face do what they're supposed to) NO SOUND out of the speakers....not even a hum...have a Hogtunes "6 way for the freeway kit" which added speakers in the lowers and an amp that runs the front 4 . this morning I got curious and plugged the headset in and switched to the headset icon ....have tunes with headset.... whats the chance it could be the damn switch......I disconnected nothing electrically other than the plugs for the hand controls so I could stretch the wires for the bars
