Harley Davidson and Harman Kardon just released Boom!™ Box software update version 1.19.1.2 on December 4, 2015. This comes right after software update versions 1.19.1.1 was released in November 2015. We have received many inquires from bikers asking if they should update to this latest 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, 1.19.1.2 if you choose to, however I am not going to as it doesn't affect the English language. I'll wait for another big updated to come out, which I suspect will be in the spring of 2016 per my sources.

I heavily tested the last big updates, version 1.19.0 & 1.19.1, back in July 2015. In this newest version, 1.19.1.2, only one new item/bug was actually fixed. That new item is labeled “correction to GPS coordinate entry (East/West) for German, French, Spanish, & Italian languages.”

FAQ:

Question: If I get behind on updating my Boom Box software, will I have to go back and install each past update I missed?

Answer: No, you do not have to update incrementally. If you get behind, just grab the latest software update here and install it. It will update everything you need including past updates. There is no access to the older updates from the Harley website anyways.

Remember; The Harley Boom!™ Box still has many annoying bugs and problems, so don't expect this software update to suddenly fix everything.

We discuss the Boom!™ Box system and up to date issues frequently on the weekly Law Abiding Biker Podcast, so get subscribed and always have the freshest information! You aren't going to get it from Harley-Davidson-trust me on that.

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:

Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!

Just loaded the latest update 1.19.1.2 on my 2015 FLHXS. So far the only thing I noticed is that the GPS repeat function stopped working. I tried reloading the download again but it still does not work.

  One of the very frustrating bugs HD and Harman Kardon are trying to work out with these updates. Often times an update fixes some things and brakes others…Uuuuuuuuuugh. And worse is that different users experience different bugs and problems. Keep your fingers crossed that they will fix your issue in an update Larry.
