Hands on Soundstream V2! Feature Overview - Is the best radio ever made for Harley Davidson®?

[@vincentliao6284]

Jay, honest question. I’m leaving my home in PA for Myrtle Beach Bike Week on 5/10. What are the chances that I get my radio with the info for the proper gains settings for my PPI amp in enough time to install before I leave for my trip? FYI, I preordered on the day this was released.

I’m wondering if you can set the just navigation prompts going to headset but have the music going only to speakers? Maybe I’m asking for too much but sometimes I have trouble hearing the prompts at highway speeds with a helmet.

TBH, I like the HD Trip Planner in that I can set many waypoints and go far off the recommended route if I want. Does this nav system offer anything like that? Thanks!

[@volunteeraudio]

No but there are several apple carplay approved apps that can do this, check out www.rever.co

[@propflux015]

Does this unit interfere with power vision tuner in any way?

[@volunteeraudio]

You may have to remove the radio fuse to use auto tune feature of the power vision, most customers do not have clashing issues as the tuner connects first and it blocks the gauges in the radio instead

[@kobyashi73]

I have v1 of this. Hoping v2 solved/fixed the incompatibility with aftermarket tuners like pv where the tuner can’t read the ecu due to the maestro/radio

[@volunteeraudio]

Update your maestro to the latest software version, it allows the tuner to take over but no matter what, if your tuner is using gauge data the radio will not display at the same time. Tune the bike then remove the tuner or disable auto tune once done

When streaming music and navigating via your phone, can the V2 differentiate the navigation commands from the streaming service and route appropriately to the headset or speakers?

[@volunteeraudio]

Yes it can and does!

[@supermanclark35]

How far is the connectivity for headsets.? Could you connect say the rider riding with you next to you on their bike so you could talk via intercom?

[@anthonyburgos5154]

So, is IGO Nav a 3rd different option for navigation or is it a base platform for both Android Auto and Carplay?

I think the deal breaker for me is it would have been simple to setup the radio with what type of bike you have. That way TriGlide would have 3 wheel TPMS and the graphics and splash screen would feature a bike similar to yours

[@adventuresofneric2624]

@@pcrost83 why sink $2,000 into a $15,000 stereo and lose simple features such as TPMS and TriGlide support? The data stream is there but the manufacturer either forgot about the growing trike market or just chose not to support it. As far as including a setup screen where you can select the type of bike and then that’d be on the splash screen and shown during screen changes is just a simple few lines of code that once again the manufacturer ignored. Hell, even my POS Nissan can do that along with changing body colors on the screen.

I think the reason some of us want built in GPS is because we plan trips using specific routes that Google, Waze, etc. don't use because they're not the shortest or the fastest. There's also a limit on the number of route points Google supports. So, we use software to build routes the way we want, then export to a GPX file and import it into the Harley GTS. Does the built-in GPS in the new Soundstream support importing GPS files?

with car play capabilities use your planning app right on the radio. Using apps like InRoute or MyRouteApp both function in CarPlay and allow for detail route planning and offline maps as well so you don't have to worry about having service for your maps.

After reading the manual you find out that the warranty is only 90 days if you install yourself.

ALL UNITS RECEIVED BY SOUNDSTREAM FOR WARRANTY REPAIR WITHOUT PROOF OF SOUNDSTREAM OR PRECISIONPOWER AUTHORIZED DEALER INSTALLATION AND PURCHASE WILL BE COVERED BY THE LIMITED 90-DAY WARRANTY."
