I was able to adjust mine(2011 SG) via the owners manual under the Radio section of the manual and I can see it fine but it leaves a lot to be desired

I think the stock radio and speakers on these things is total crap. It sounds fine in the garage but trying to listen to it at highway speed is impossible. I guess this is just another Harley ploy to get us to buy the upgraded speakers and amp. You would think it should be audible at highway speeds right out of the box. What a waste.

Sent mine to iron cross audio to have it changed to orange to match the guages. They also updated the software for free while they had it.
