NEW iDatalink ADS-MRR 1.8 Update + How to Flash for your Harley Davidson® and Soundstream HDHU.14Si

[@Speedie1010]

I just flashed my Maestro on my Road Glide. Gauges are working perfectly!!!! Even the MPG are finally reading out correct! Thank you for the update! I agree on the clock request ....

[@volunteeraudio]

I’m glad we could help!

[@anthonymills9447]

Truly appreciate all your support and walk through on this, I definitely could not do this without you.

[@volunteeraudio]

Awesome, thank you so much!

[@jimharrison4526]

I’m so glad I found this video. Finally figured out what I had been doing wrong. Now the radio set of gauges are working as they should and I’m awaiting to see if I’m going to still get that dreaded low oil pressure warning message or not.

[@volunteeraudio]

Glad we could help!

[@JimmieBrown-v4w]

Thanks for all your support.

[@volunteeraudio]

Thank you

[@mikeburke2219]

I have found moving the volume to the right controls and navigating functions in the left controls is a better set up. Trying to navigate the menus and keep firm control on the throttle is more complicated than simply having the volume on the right controls.

[@volunteeraudio]

We mirror the same layout as with the factory radio

[@dmancran]

I have one other request......can you ask if it would be possible to make one of the gauges a clock? If I am using carplay, it isn't an issue, however if I am using the gauges, It would be nice to make one of them show the current time. Its not a major issue, but would be a cool to have. Thanks for all of the support that you give all of us!

[@volunteeraudio]

Thank you!

[@BubbaXL308]

Great info , very interested in the SI . Hopefully they can find a fix for the Thundermax ecm communication issue with the gauges . This would be an awesome upgrade with gauge display for a bar and riser setup and save some money on gauge relocation.

[@volunteeraudio]

If they do an update for thundermax I’ll make a video on it

Funny you should bring this up. I want to start my bike yesterday and nothing. Could this have something to do with it the batteries good but the starter will not engage. It’s either a bad starter or perhaps this is the problem. Could it be the problem and how should I check it?

Only an issue on some 2014

Currently you can disable obd2 communication in the radio and as long as you don’t view gauges or motorcycle info screen there should not be a data clash issue

[@davidbridegan2302]

When you go into bike info, select the three dots, Maestro features, gauges, OBD2 communications is not present. Video says its set automatically but it didn't say the option was no longer available?

[@volunteeraudio]

They have set it to the correct position now to allow service at the Harley dealership and so that the radio will not clash with diagnostic computers. This is a good thing

[@tim_buk_u7554]

Hi Jay. Just stumbled upon your awesome videos, and the more I watch I'm seriously considering the HDHU14si as a replacement to the Boom GTS and its limiting capabilities. I've heard it mentioned, though, that you lose Bluetooth headset capabilities with this unit. Is this still the case even if you have a WHIM installed? Any updates in the chute to add this capability yet? Spent so much $$ on the WHIM & wireless HD-branded headset already - I'd hate to spend just as much to replace the unit and not have that capability. Thanks!

[@volunteeraudio]

I’m sorry but there is no hardware in this radio to retain Bluetooth headsets so no future update could add the feature either

[@scottschiller1153]

When are they going to get the gear position selector and compass to work???

[@scottschiller1153]

2022 SGS

[@volunteeraudio]

Not all bikes have the correct sensor to display gear position, also compass data is only available with certain traction control equipped bikes

[@scottschiller1153]

My bike is a 2022 Street Glide Special with all the traction controls and ABS. I find it hard to believe it doesn't have the right modules for the gear position and compass. This is a major disappointment cuz my bike still shows the gear and the GTS at least showed what direction I was going!!

[@volunteeraudio]

@@scottschiller1153 on some bikes gear position does not work until you change the gear selection after the engine is running. Not all years have all sensors from Harley. We find that 2014-2016 actually have more sensor data

[@NateDizzle984]

Hi Jay, So having issue with the oil pressure below 10psi keep popping up on the screen after the 1.8 update. I don’t see anyone else in the comments with this issue. I have a 2015 Street Glide. Thanks in advance for any help fixing this issue.

[@heath2byte]

Jay loaded as advised. FYI unfortunately v1.8 breaks my displayed temperature measurement of Centigrade. It forces my Dakota Digital MLX-8414 gauges into fahrenheit ONLY. The radio gauges change between F and C, but the Dakota's are F only. Tried v1.6 that also did the same. So have rolled back to v1.4 (still without my FP3 attached) and the Dakotas are C and I can select either F or C for display on the radio gauges ✊🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧

So I have the TT ECM and when I updated the firmware to 1.8 I keep getting a low oil pressure indicator, repeatedly. This occurs despite the oil pressure being above 30 as indicated in the info screen. I have adjusted the pressure sensitivity down to five and it still occurs. Eventually after riding for awhile it goes out. Thoughts?

[@volunteeraudio]

Not sure what tt stands for but any ecm that is not stock may not work correctly, you can also disable the warning in the menu

[@RandyCash-j7w]

Jay, I just updated to 1.8 and now I'm unable to customize my guage layout. All options are greyed out. What am I missing?
