Harley Davidson and Harman Kardon just released Boom!™ Box software update version 1.19.1.1 in November, 2015. We have received many inquires from bikers asking if they should update to this version. It is always a good idea to wait and see if an update fixes more than it breaks and let me have some time to test things.
Note: This particular update if only for the Boom Box 6.5T Premium system and the CVO 6.5GT system. It is not for the standard 4.3 system.
I give the go ahead to update to this new Boom Box software update version, 1.19.1.1. I heavily tested the last big updates, version 1.19.0 & 1.19.1, back in July 2015. In this newest version, 1.19.1.1, only one new item/bug was actually fixed. That new item is labeled “incorrect next turn bar directions.” That refers to when you are in GPS mode on the Boom Box and it advises you of the next turn at the bottom of the screen. Many bikers were experiencing problems with this function.

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:

Harley-Davidson is who you tell, but good luck getting through to someone that actually knows what they’re talking about. Many are having the problem and others are not. Clearly, they don’t really know what they’re doing. Frustrating.
