Techs told me it wasn't a choice - may H-D doesn't want riders making real time comparisons <LOL>

Did this happen to you (losing the 6.5 GPS) or just something you were told? There's been several discussions on the jumper and this is the first I'm reading about it disabling the gps...

edit: bike's in the shop having the infodeck replaced, or I'd take a pic and post it.

Thanks for the reply, I'm trying to understand, is the losing the 6.5 GPS the reason you're getting the deck replaced or is the losing of the GPS an inherent problem when installing the aux. port? If I install the APP will I also lose the ability to use my 6.5 GPS? I have not heard of this happening to anyone else and I have been monitoring the threads as I want to have an APP installed. Thanks again...

Reason for deck replacement, posted in the Rushmore section "My Boombox Freezes" thread:
I pick the bike up on Wednesday - they had to overnight a new deck, shop is closed on Mondays - so I'll pick the team's collective brain while I'm there. As they say, they're learning with me...
Mine has been doing it about every 2 hours on the road. Controls will work to switch from source to source, but audio remains stuck on first source. Controls freeze but audio plays. Audio cuts out completely but controls work from source to source. Had the unit "quarantine" the tuner - everything else worked but when switching to AM/FM or WB, no go. Has happened when stopping guidance, hanging up a phone call, switching ring tones, or just plain rolling down the road. No pattern, whatsoever.
The delay in resetting is likely not due to capacitors discharging, most likely due to the CANBUS which keeps the system energized for 30-60 seconds after IGN shutdown. You have to wait to reset until it's finished.
I'm convinced the freezes are due to bad firmware (mine's updated and this still happens) - the auto industry designer low-bidder choice has no experience with anything as complex with add-on modules for Sirius/XM, CB & intercom and it overloaded their design engineers, not the hardware (though that is woefully under-powered, as well).

Are you 100% sure the tech working on your bike is right? Those guys haven't exactly had very good support from the Mothership & they may not have ALL the info needed to make it work as it should?

That'll be the "Use External GPS" option. The question though, is if that HAS to be selected when enabling the audio input that the AJJ connects to....
