Harley Davidson and Harman Kardon silently released Boom!™ Box software update version 1.18.3 on January 19, 2015. Bikaholics everywhere are wondering if they should update. Well, that is what I have been here for all along. I will take the leap of faith for you and test the update to make sure it does not brake more than it fixes like in the past. Keep checking back here, subscribe to our YouTube channel, and listen to the weekly Law Abiding Biker Podcast to learn the results. 

If you don't know how to properly update your system software and maps then check out my Official Boom!™ Box Software Update  Video.

This update claims to fix the following:

1. Added capability to view information about a point of Interest, HD Dealership, recent destination, saved destination, home, or XM fuel price station while in a current route
2. Added capability to cancel “next waypoint” (FINALLY)
3. Increased waypoint to 100 (OMG! THAT HAS BEEN A THORN IN OUR SIDE FOREVER!)
4. Fixed automatic screen brightness
5. Fixed map zoom level
6. Performance and stability enhancements (WELL I HOPE SO)

Download Update

Fixed in this update is part of the navigation system, which now allows you to upload up to 100 waypoints from Ride Planner!

As I have stated, Harley Davidson put the cart before the horse a bit on the Boom Box  for the Rushmore Project and is playing catch up now. The system is awesome, but has several issues. I truly believe these issues will be corrected in time with the ongoing software updates.

Remember, the Boom Box is just a computer and needs routine software and map updates just like your smartphone or computer. They are constantly improving the way the system operates and fixing bugs, so this is critical.

Here are some very helpful videos, so you can become familiar with and operate the Boom!™ Box system to include updating the system software:
