Saw somewhere in the comments that you don’t need a 19 or newer ecm, just to unplug your old one. Can confirm that works. All I needed was the software update and the service menu reset and it’s up and running! Thanks for the help!
If the radio has been updated and reset before putting in older bike it will work. This video is a work around for people who don’t have that happen. Many people selling their radios off don’t know to do this.
Had Tim set me up and everything he said he did. I literally just plugged it in and on it went. I now have a 2017 street glide with a 2022 boombox radio with Apple CarPlay big thank you especially for the follow up.
I did this today and all worked great and didnt even need a flash. Took GTS from my 2019 limited and put it into my 2017 CVO sreet glide. Thank you Tim for doing this video.
I was able to do my 2018 Street glide just by disconnecting my ECM and doing the software update process just as you did. Did not have an ECM plugged in at all.
Hello from France , thank you for this video Need help please I mounted the GTS on my street glide cvo 2018 , it will work with an ultra glide ECM of 2019? No risk for my friend’s ecm? Thank you

No, in that scenario, take the radio you need to fix and plug it into the 2021 model bike and then go to the same updating process. You’ll have to remove the fairing off the 2021 model.

Hi Tim been trying to contact you but can’t find you on Facebook I bought a 2019 candian Boombox GTS from a street glide and trying to put it in a 2018 street glide CVO U.K. , dealer can’t get ride of the message , tryed installing it on a new bike , but still no good when back in mine ???

The wiring harness layout is entirely different So unless you swap out the the entire harness in the bike and upgrade to the newer switch layout Including ecm and bcm change You won’t be able to do it. Smarter to trade bike in for a newer model bike that has the capability already

I’ve got a 18 StreetGlide and bought a used unit out of a 21 to it the dealer last week got it flashed everything works but CarPlay so ordered the jumper wire off Amazon and still no CarPlay.
@@SC-br6tu I talked to the dealer and they said that’s about the last option that we can do other than that they have no clue. It’s just a box that the tech has to put check in on a menu that’s it lol so we will see. If that doesn’t work I’m going to email or call Soundz audio and see what they say.
Can this procedure be done BEFORE the radio is removed from the original bike? In other words, could you update the software, do the pre-calibration reset in the service menu, take the radio out and finally install it in a pre-2019 bike? Or does this only work using the "destination" bike with a 2019-newer ECM?
Yes it’s recommended to anybody selling their radio To do this or the not compatible issue comes up. The purpose of this video was to show how to handle it if the seller did not update it and how to get around it. You can also take the radio to a friends bike (19 or newer) plug it into there and update it.
