Nice job! This is loaded with massive piles of great information. Much gratitude!
I've got the old boom box GT which has been getting slower. I've been thinking of upgrading to this unit.
Was there a protective film on yours out of the box? I had a piece of tape in the top left corner that wasn't attached to anything. It has scratches across the entire front of the screen.
Yes there is a film with writing on it
Thank you. I bought it from a known online retailer, that has videos on UA-cam. It came with no film and obvious scratches across the screen. Had a piece of clear tape on the top left corner of screen.@@NVSAUDIO
Hi Carlos , So would you say the GTS display is still has better visibility in bright sunlight than this latest Sound Stream model ?
Say Carlos I have sony and the screen is oxidized and I was wondering if this sound stream has a protective screen cover like the Harley radio
Hello Carlos
Will the whim work with the sound stream because I have the helmet hookup...............Thanks love the video
I haven’t tested that
I’ll
Test that this week
@@NVSAUDIO Thanks very much interested if it works
Wim will not work
The Sound Reserve has a high low for sound out where you can tell the difference. The new Sound Reserve doesn't it only has a maximum sound but there is no difference in the sound output. Is there something Im missing
Question: what happend with the touchscreen if you come in rainy weather; did it react to the rain drops and e.g. changes loudness or switch to another radio station?
2 questions.
Why do you need a cable or dock to program the RR? I thought you only needed a USB cable?
Why didn't Soundstream include Wireless Android Auto on this head unit??? On a motorcycle, this makes perfect sense (Ciro Cyber Charger mount). That's literally the only thing keeping me from buying this radio. I don't want to add another device that may not be seamless (MA1, etc)
Thanks!
Are they still having No start issues with some of the Harleys after installing this radio?
Any differences with using the RR and RR2 when using this radio?
Non
The rr2 extra features currently only work in cars
Carlos I noticed you not using the low level outputs on the radio. Why ?
Some amps don't like the low level differential grounds from the RCA, where as speaker level is common ground.
@@Doc_435 Thanks Rick. I know that. Butt what if its coming out of the radio then into a DSR1 DSP then int a SD amp
We always run speaker level into the dsp
More voltage and less chance of noise
If we need low level
It’s a easy swap
Just plug in the rca
15 road glide , does this unit perform better than my stock? I have soundstream amps, front and back speaker upgrades, but I do not like not being able to have an eq, and being able to adjust settings as much as this. Ready to order one but want to make sure it is an upgrade , not just a shiw piece thanks for a reply may man . Great video
Hey Carlos do you have a video on installing a DSR1 paired with a Soundsteam HDHU 14si radio and Focal Amps on my 2014 Streetglide. I purchased the t-harness from you and its real nice but I need some help on hooking everything up.Thanks!
I have Dakota Digital gauges on my '22 Street Glide. Will that present a problem?
Do you sell & ship this already flashed & ready for install ?
@@pablitorentas4217 yes
Do they make a model that will work with a CB like the OEM boombox?
Sir can I use this with stage 2 audio speakers with the Harley amp? Do I have to get more modifications to install it ?
Hey Carlos. Serious question. Do you have any connections with Soundstream to convince them to weatherproof their double din radios for the Slingshot ?
Great job (as usual) Carlos ---thank you
Are you able to use the push to talk button for intercom like the harley radio
You can't connect your bluetooth headset to it. So what's the use then anyway.
can the radio plug be cut and used in an older bike onley using rca output on my 08
Yes
But you won’t get the data display and how are you going to mount it ?
It has a non standard face plate that doesn’t fit any faring opening on the older bikes
@@NVSAUDIO ua-cam.com/video/AZTp00rxkt8/v-deo.html i was thinking the first model of the sound stream
can i use my WHIM with it?
With all of the equipment there, do you ever run into ventilation issues with the amps getting hot? Are there ever any worries of possible fires?
Zero issues
so i have limited myself to looking for 2019 and newer HD limited models because of the GTS upgrade over the 2018 units. are you telling me this unit can go into a 2018 and give me the GTS functions and more for just $1200? can the secondary "hold" functions of the buttons be added after install or does it require removal of the ilink and a re-flash?
The 18s don't have tyre pressure senders so they won't work for starters. Not sure what else won't work
can you add tpms to a bike that did not have them from factory and pair it with radio?
if i buy radio from you can you program the little black box because i live in upstate ny next to buffalo
Hi Carlos, First off Thank You for all the videos and help it is much appreciated! My question is if I have a stock GT system in a 2014 Ultra Limited with the Rockford dsr1 installed with aftermarket amp and speakers. Will the dsr 1 replace having to purchase the i datalink RR unit if I reflash the dsr 1?
The devices perform different functions
How's that new Soundstream compare to the Sony XAV-AX6000 or 4000? Putting the waterproof aside. I currently have the Sony XAV-AX7000 and have seriously been considering the 6000
Great video, i have 22 road glide ST and i feel it has more features than my current boom! Audio. I want to use my own Bluetooth headset instead of the h-d whim
Multiple Bluetooth headsets able to connect? Wireless CarPlay?
Multiple headsets can be paired
No wireless car play
Must add a wireless dongle from another company
Hello carlos. Which one of the radio is more reliable on a long-term basis the 14 plus or the 14 si?
Same exact radio just data display on the si
Both the same quality
I think the si is worth the extra $200
Thanks Carlo I appreciate your answer.
only the display can be replaced?
Si keeps information screen/gauges. I don’t see the price difference, especially with the need for the data module.
How about the high pass feature/ low pass etc?
Same as the 14+
Could I use that on my 2013 Road Glide?
I just took my Sony 7000 out and put in this radio and I got noise coming from speakers… Rockford dsp and 3 soundigital amps
HI, does the new SI Unit work with the HD Headset?
How is this radio compared to the GT or GTS does it have a glare
No glare
Does this radio work when wearing gloves and hitting apps on screen?
Yes
Good Info Carlos...Thanks!
How does it sound with boom stage 2? Any better than with gt6.5 and its weird eq settings ?
You can make the boom sound better but it won’t play any louder
Where's the best place to get one to Australia?
Will the sI work on 13 and down Harleys
No. The 13 down Road Glide version is due out in about 2 weeks (barring freight issues). The 13 down Street Glide/Ultra are due out sometime 1st quarter 2023.
Is this radio compatible with 2017 Road Glide Ultra?
Yes
I don’t have TPS installed on my ‘17 UL. Can this system track tire pressure?
Won't work. There's senders sensors that are missing from your Tyre's
Where is the best place to buy this unit?
We have them in stock
Cost on the si?
It’s between $900 and $1300. You need the RR one or the RR two that’s what makes the difference in price.
How much for a t-harness for the hdhu 14si w/dsr1 dsp and 2 sound digital 800.4 amps t-harness only
Did you ever figure it out? Im trying to find out is the new radio is compatible with the DSR1.
Quick question Carlos. Maybe I missed it in the video but can the Maestro RR2 work with this radio if you wanted to add escort radar to the unit? Also, is the maestro weather resistant like the head unit and the rest of the Harley? Thanks again for a great video!
You can use the RR2 (14:30 in the video). Not sure about the weather resistant of the modules.
@@Doc_435 Thanks Doc!! I knew I might of missed it. Thanks 🙏
Yes rr2 works
Idatalink makes a water proof box for the rr that is sold separately
@@NVSAUDIO Thanks. I appreciate it.
Okay Carlos which radio has the best sound Gts or the SOUNDSTREAM? We need a head to head comparison, I currently have the Gts thinking about switching!
You don’t need a unit to flash the module you can do it right on your computer
Are these in stock yet?
Yes
Carlos do you sell them if not who does?
@@floydkemp3570 yes we sell them
Call me tomorrow
908-527-6772
can the head unit gauges work with Dakota digital gauges ?
