Default Boom GTS

I have a new Boom GTS Infotainment unit up for grabs. I purchased this as a new pullout, but by all accounts it is a new unit as it was shipped in a factory box with all the packing and extras. Included is the head unit, 4 mounting screws, replacement switch cap for the handlebar controls and the GPS antenna.
I am asking $1,300 shipped in the CONUS with insurance.

Additional info:
I purchased this unit to retrofit into my 15' Street Glide. I picked it up last December. I had originally intended to install it, neglected to notify my wife who purchased also purchased a retrofit kit direct from Harley. The unit my wife purchased was not returnable, so used it instead. I had originally planned to use the Soundz Audio interface kit, but now that Harley has released actual retrofit kits for the 14-18 bikes as well as a software update for the existing radios, there is no need for the adapter harness.

These units are a direct plug in for any 14-18 Street/Road Glide. Contrary to all the info out there, if you have an existing GT unit, you do not need to replace the USB cable in the glovebox. It is also compatible with the existing GPS antenna, WHIM module and XM module.

There is one caveat for this unit. It has the original software on it and if plugged into a 14-18 bike it will power up, but will display a message stating the unit is not compatible with the bike. The unit will need to have a software update before it will work. There are only two ways to do this. The unit will either need to be connected to a 19' or newer bike or an ecm from a 19' or newer bike will need to be plugged into your bike to get the software to load. Once the software is loaded and the unit is installed on your bike, you will be able to do any future updates just as you normally would with a USB jump drive. I can speak to this first hand as the new unit my wife purchased was supposed to be the new retrofit kit with the software already installed, unfortunately the unit shipped to me was an older model boxed incorrectly from Harley. When I installed it, I got the incompatible message. Fortunately, my local dealer was willing to work with me even though the unit was not purchased from them. They were able to connect it to a 19' bike and load the new software. I then took the unit back home, installed it in my bike and it fired right up just like it was supposed. to. I have an audio flash device, so I was able to flash it the way I wanted as well as setup the WHIM unit and other features. I have since updated the maps and other database with no issues at all.
