I'm interested in obtaining one of these modules and would like to know any comments, good or bad those of you who have had experience with it.

I've read that they were a disaster when they first came out, but a majority of the bumps worked their way out with updated software via cd.

If I could get some feedback about this system I would appreciate it.

I don't think they are still available. If they are there are much better GPS units with larger screens and better features like the Garmin Zumo 6XXX series.

 

I have a 2007 Electra Glide, with radio. I havetried to update radio but it has not worked. I need the east half of the us for the gps. If you know where to obtain one I would be interested in that. Kevin

 

voice only, no visual. Kind of pointless in my opinion.

 

You talking about the Navtech GPS unit built for HD by Garmin?

Like this one:



It works great for me.

Edit: I see from other posts that there must have been something else available that was voice only with a few display elements integrated with the HK radio. Anyway, there are better solutions out there so good luck with your choices.

 

Had a friend with a CVO Ultra that came with that system he hated it enough that he bought a road tech Garmin unit to replace it.
Personally I think I would find it as useless as the Onstar GPS (the one without a display)
If you could be happy with just spoken directions and a few arrow prompts maybe it would be OK but otherwise I think it would suck.
I like all the other things that a real GPS can do for you. And Harley must have thought the same thing since they quit putting it on the CVO bikes.

 

friend had the one that was a module that played on the harmon cordon display,it was all but useless,the screen graphics are not up to par to be of any real use and the poi database was very limited,get a garmin.

 

I have that unit on my 2006 Ultra Classic. Pretty useless IMHO but the compass direction on my radio display is pretty cool. I tried to use the unit a few times but you have to keep the CD in the drive to make it work. If one has nothing else, this would be OK but to tell the truth, a $150 Garmin GPS Nuvi along with a Ram Mount exceeds this OEM unit x 10. In 2006 when this came out, it might have been the cat's PJ's but technology advanced and left this one in the dust.

On thing, my HK radio also has the phone module so I can sync my phone via bluetooth. Can't get the darn thing to sync. Think that the technology of today's phones have also exceeded the tech of the 2006 HK radio. The software on the radio is up to date but I think that HD and HK wrote this feature off long ago. Ideas???
