2024 Harley Davidson Road Glide Infotainment System

[@TobyNorthEN]

11:00 - I LOVE the gear-shifting number indicator! It doesn't wait for the rider to release the clutch and engage the gear to show the gear the bike is in. If the rider shifts it immediately indicates that gear! I love this!!! Keep up the (always) great content John and keep the innovation coming HD!!!

[@BoDean52]

Great video John, I have had my 24 White Onyx Pearl RG for a few weeks. Totally agree with you I like the layout of not only the infotainment system, but the controls. Still getting used to them, but it really doesn’t take long. Harley delivered with this bike.

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

Definitely 💯

[@Diego-Delgado]

Youre channel is awesome man. And growing. Love your RK classic

[@BoDean52]

thanks @@Diego-Delgado

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

The dash and faring are 🔥🔥🔥🔥 red hot.

[@dynabungie]

If you hit the cycle button with the key fob present hold it down it'll put the bike in accessory mode and you can access all of that stuff without having to power up the entire bike very handy for electrical consumption

[@tomdabassis1776]

Congrats on the new RG John!!!

[@petercruz2476]

In the fiction zone channel has a 2024 Applecarplay solution. Works perfectly. No helmet communication needed. Always on and always connected. Enjoy.

[@imsurly7742]

This must be the first Harley you really have to spend some time with the Manual!

[@johnlyons5938]

I bought a blue Road Glide last Saturday. I LOVE it!!! If you hold down the button with a circle on it on the left handlebar you will turn the bike on accessory mode. Then you can play with the radio without turning the bike all the way on.

[@hdryderct]

Got a blue burst too. Love it!

[@donrice8026]

great machine just change out every 3 years and your golden !!!!!!!!

[@zososhep]

Great Info! I really appreciate this! I need a brand new engine in my 2021 Road Glide Special(left me stranded on Labor day weekend-dont even ask how difficult and expensive it was to get me and my bike towed home). My dealer says my extended warranty will cover a new engine(minus $50 deductible) but it will be awhile before my bike is up and running again. Long story short I am going in a few days to look at the 2024 Road Glides and "see" what kind of deal they are offering. I guess it all depends on how much smoke the salesman tries to blow up my ass! 😅 But thanks to your video I can at least go in with a good understanding of how the infotainment system works! Thanks again!

[@bobmaslan2401]

John, I just bought a 24 Street Glide. You will see it next time we connect at a Bikes and Breakfast. On the Apple Car Play, here's the desl. Google no longer supports nAdroid Auto on motorcycles. Apple Carplay still does, but it requires a headseat. It is not a Harley Davidson decision. I you pair a Cardo, you should be all set. Car Play will start if the Cardo is on. I have Samsung smart phone with Android Auto. I bought a Comecho interface, which connects to the Infotainment system as if it is an iphone, and connects with wireless Android Auto. For your bike, pair the Cardo and turn it on so that it is on when the Infotainment system boots up. If your iphone is paired and running, everything should connect and work fine. There are some gimicks that fools the Infotainment system into thinking that a headset is connected, so that the Apple Carplay will work without a real headset. I am hoping to connect with at a B&B in the next couple of weeks so we can compare notes. Good luck with your Road Glide. BYW, do you have a gremlin bell yet? Regards.

[@Vladfaitdestattoos]

There is an upgrade for android. It seems they changed their mind and decided to support motorcycles riders. That’s what I was told yesterday by my local Harley

[@paineys3341]

@@Vladfaitdestattoos hope that is true 👍

[@jsimanella]

The 2024 Honda Goldwing fully supports Android Auto. Harley is lying to their customers.

[@lyndonbritt3728]

Been watching you now for a couple of years now. Always informative and riding content is top notch! I just bought the 2024 RG myself! One question, can you play your radio on the 2024 RG without the motor or lights on as we did with the previous models? You remember with the earlier models you just turned the ignition switch all the way to the right and your sound system played.

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

Thank you I appreciate that, yes you can. You just have to flip the switch to run and it will play the Soundsystem.

[@johnnydangerously7186]

Any plans to change out that inner fairing? Color match?

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

I don’t think so

[@andraealexander364]

I love the screen, but I love t-bars More lol

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

I’m about to do those Arlen Ness ones .. if I get a tax return 🤞.. I don’t like my 10” z bars (HD chizzled Lo bars). And I would love to see the gauges in my field of view. I can tell what speed the motor is spinning by feel but as to road speed.. in the ballpark but not close enough to know what a cop gonna clock me at. I hate how the gauges are so fkn low in stock location

[@robertmercurio2859]

John, you can get a plug for that radio thinks it’s a mic. I have it on my cvo st works great. I will send you link.

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

Please, that would be fantastic. You’re the best. My email is down below in the video description.

[@johnlyons5938]

I'd be interested in that too!

[@paineys3341]

The only thing I dislike about the new 24's is lack of power outlets. On my 2019 RGS I use the wire in the right cubby hole for a memory stick with all my music and the power outlet on the left to power my phone... this won't be an option when I upgrade 😩...hopefully later this year.

[@tomneedmorebeer5525]

I love the feel of those stock grips! They need to make them for the older bikes, including heated grips!!!

[@OnyxFLTRX]

I was looking at used ST's and waited till the '24's dropped. These new bikes are an absolute game changer. Needless to say I brought an Onyx White/black FLRTX home this past Wednesday. Only have about 80 miles on it at this point, but it is fantastic. The display/interface is awesome and the switch pods seems very intuitive.

[@nickglorioso6266]

By the way I purchased my first Road Glide a 2023 120 Anniversary. Just fell in love with that paint scheme.

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

That’s gorgeous our friend Steve has one

[@Bikerbug2020]

My First Harley purchase was back in October 23, and it is the Fast Johnnie Road Glide - just loved that stupid pig on the gas tank. The Blue/White Muscle Car paint wasn’t half bad either.

[@markmcintosh7095]

Great information, but I'm not a tech guy, and when I had my Street Glide I never used much of it. I guess that's why I have a Highway King. It's really nice, but it's wasted on me.

[@glycett]

Thanks John. Good review. Appreciate your efforts.

[@toddaod295]

Thank you! I'm not currently in the market for a 24 but I still like to know about the latest tech and you did an excellent job going over it all!

[@painsrides]

Is this the bike you'll be taking on the X-Country ride with Sandy?

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

Yes

[@chrisnevergrowold330]

It might be just me but I hate the big black tablet that replaced all the beautiful chrome bezel gauges. My 2013 CVO has gorgeous dials, big sweeping hands for everything from oil to battery, fuel and of course tach and speed. Even when the bike is off its gorgeous, all metal, glass and chrome. I can see the advantage of having GPS navigation in the center...but I think the cost of no gauges is too high. What happens in 8 years or more when the screen is dull, or they stop updating the older bikes.

[@slowsteve3497]

It’s not just you.

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

I wish they kept ALL the gauges when they did the Rushmore update. Shit man.. why do they think we don’t need to see oil pressure? Now we just got the red light on the speedo .. u see that while riding just in time to tell u ya gonna need a new motor. And then on the screen the “ok” for oil level .. damn.. check your levels ppl

[@thexnewyorker7284]

I picked up a 23 CVO my biggest issue is the screen . I love the tech and what it does and offers , but my concerns are the same . I miss the Gauges but the bike is freaking awesome!!!!!

[@Roaddawg68]

No it's not just you, the new set up is dogshit, sorry to say they already have problems, I love the 2013 CVO by the way I have a 2011 FLTRX and love it .

[@nickeminoski2205]

I’m an analog guy too when it comes to my gauges. We went through this crap in the 80’s and 90’s cars when people thought there digital gauges were cool. I like a touch screen radio, but definitely analog gauges all day. To me the bars look empty missing them

[@JonV-r7q]

Like the bike a lot. Love the SPORT Mode display right in the center. Quick look at the MPH, eyes right back on the road.

[@lowpohboon8676]

i just bought a 2024 Road Glide.....and i cant on the radio......can help??......i already set to the frequency and set to speaker......no sound.....tia

[@pitt1108]

Is the rumor true. Non-CVO’s need to buy a subscription to use all the features on infotainment. If that’s true. Like Harley fashion, two steps forward and one step back.

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

No, only if you want the navigation

[@paineys3341]

The $350 subscription is a one-off and gives you traffic, weather and map updates for 3 years, after that navigation stays working but no updates unless you pay again... At present maps updates are $150 a pop and there might 2 or 3 a year so its not that bad just a nuisance its not an option to have nav by default like on older bikes

[@felipeelizondo941]

Does the handle bar controls lit up at night?

[@JonV-r7q]

John, wonder IF you could plug in that dongle to a USB port under the fairing again?

[@mitakuyeoyesin1739]

I think there is already a workaround for the headset issue... You can plug in a little dongle that the bike sees as a headset, then you can use carplay and apple maps without one hooked up. Mine comes in next month, cannot wait! Awesome video as usual.

Do we have to turn on iPhone CarPlay and headset before powering the bike to get it connected automatically? Or does it matter?

[@ericroadking7564]

The nnede headset for ACP is a pain in the ass hopefully they will change it with a SW up-date!! Looking forward to all the mod's brother !! Have fun!!

[@asoshkin]

You can use accessory mode to view your screen instead of turnining the on switch. If you press and hold the info button next to the TC butto. You get to mess with the screen and your headlight will not be completely on draining the battery.

If you hold down the button with the circle on the the left side it turns in the bike in accessory mode

[@Vladfaitdestattoos]

Audio from Rockford is like 15% improvement from factory speakers. They take quite a lot of room on the bags. Had them on cvo rg 2023. Happy I didn’t waste money on this on the 2024RG. Some after market brands offers better stuff if you really want to put money on stereo. We have navigation by default in France. Don’t know if it’s going to be free forever tho. Hope you can ride tomorrow and enjoy this outstanding bike🙏🏻

[@EMANNAKA007]

U can use your Bluetooth dungle that you had on your other bike as long as it is c port and car play will work I do it on my 24 road glide hope this helps you out

[@jameserbaugh6459]

Great video! I did find a work around to have wireless CarPlay on my 24. I bought a 20 dollar usb dongle and a USB-A to USB-C adapter. The dongle has a microphone built in so it is recognized as a headset. The only annoying part is having to switch back and forth between the dongle and my actual Sena when I want it connected instead. This isn’t actually Harley’s fault. Having a microphone connected is a requirement for Apple to license CarPlay. Since the bikes don’t have a microphone in the fairing which would be pointless, they resorted to relying on your headset.

[@mpower3279]

@ CYCLE FANATIX Please help me!! I am 5'7" After 5 years using of my Fat Bob 2019, i have the chance to pick up a stg st 2023 or a stg/rg 2024. The problem is, i want the st from 2023 so much because that is an icon and the better looking in my opinion, the new one is to modern, but the weirdest problem is they are for the same price here in Belgium €32.000 What would you do?? Kind regards

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

I would get the 2024

[@mpower3279]

@CYCLEFANATIX Thanks man and ride safe!!

[@stuartberke5845]

There's a headset usb adapter that fools the bike that there's a headset present. Plugs in easily then gets paired to the bike. Works great. FYI

I know you did a video on how you break in a new build on a motor. Maybe you can do a break in riding video on the new bike to show how you put it under load on and off.

[@williamhopkins3500]

According to the dealer I just went to the Apple car play option will not work unless there is a microphone present. That is why you need to pair a headset with microphone on it. Maybe someone will come up with a hack to avoid this issue.

[@jeffwinebrenner8932]

it is not Harleys fault but, it is Apple iPhone requiring a microphone to be connected for CarPlay

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

I didn’t say it was Harley‘s fault, all I said was, I didn’t like that.

[@brucem8129]

As soon as the switch goes on it shuts off the battery tender connection.

Also, Android Auto is no longer on anything with two wheels. Including the 24 HD. To clarify, this applies to 24 and newer motorcycles.

[@WattsyID]

You do realize if you hold down the trip mode button on the left side for 10 seconds the bike goes into accessory mode without alll the blinking

[@doberman1911]

So due to the screen location and size, I suspect there won’t be a t-bar set up on this bike. Sux because I definitely not feeling those bars.

You can get Apple CarPlay from your phone if you put a Bluetooth device connected directly to the USB in the compartment.

Apple requires the microphone (headset) for Apple Car Play, not Harley.

[@charleshamilton7761]

What the Name Buy Infotainment system for my Bike it's Perfect Bigger The better

[@RidingwithDRod]

also, because apple carplay relies on a headset connection.. if you decide to use another non-blue tooth helmet, like a half helmet or your backup helmet, you won't have apple carplay. But more importantly, the helmet's bluetooth battery won't last all day.. if that helmet battery dies, you will automatically lose apple carplay, thus losing Waze in the middle of your trip. You have to keep charging your helmet. I'd rather have the Amazon connector.. and have my iphone plugged into the usb port so it can also charge my phone.. never have to worry about losing a connection..

[@wschultz2193]
