Hey Bountyhunter,

Today I was riding my 07 UC and just lovin it. I was cruising down the road listening to my favorite Goldie OLdie station and all of a sudden I was hearing the WB. I thought at first I accidentally switched bands. I changed it back and within 15minutes it changed again to the WB. Did this five more times in about and hour. Called dealer and he said they were having issue with the radios' and may have to order a new one. Could take about six weeks for it to come in. I said OK since I only have 1900 miles on it and it is under warranty.

I turn on my computer and went to this forum only to find out that there is a recall on the 07. Something to do about smoothing out the torque map.
I again called the dealer who then looked it up and said yes there was a upgrade needed and they would do it Monday when they but on my new GPS.

Please tell me more about the CD your dealer used to fix your radio.

Factory CD with latest HK software version. Some using burned versions downloaded from the HD website continue to experience issues.

My radio will also jump to the weather band for no reason. Plus the display will sometimes try to display two screens of information at the same time. I will have to take it back AGAIN to get it looked at.

Please keep us posted as to what you find out.

Radio Schmadio. With the sound of that motor, what do you really need a radio for anyway? Life is too short not to luxuriate in the music of the BIG TWIN whenever possible. Just my opinion.

I have my radio set up to have the wb come on when there is a wether alert. Could yours be set up like that?

Make sure that weather band option "alert" is not selected. Weather Band will preempt other operations if set to this option, if weather alert is broadcast. I found this out first week on mine. As to the other display problems I'm clueless.
