I purchased the Hertz stage 4. Just completed the flash on my 2016 Street Glide. Only issue was how my connection was a little stiff coming out of the fuse box cover. Great video I will comment on all the install videos as I install my system. Only one I am nervous about is cutting my saddle bag lids.

I work for a shop and we have the Techno Research hardware already. My employer asked me to familiarize myself with how to use it and what we can do with it. The how to use it was perfectly covered in this video. Thank you. My only remaining question at this point pertains to bikes with the boom systems or other factory amp add ons. This device is ONLY for the radio itself correct? On those bikes my thought would be (if the customer isn't happy with the "premium sound") 1... flash the radio, 2... remove the "factory" amp, 3... replace with aftermarket amps and speakers. This seems to be the best way in my opinion to deal with the cross over points in the amps and get a full range signal to work with. Am I on the right track in your opinion or am I over thinking things?

Same flash will be used no matter which system they had stock, and yes you will remove the stock amp and upgrade if you are flashing the radio

@@volunteeraudio I get what you're saying Jay, thanks! American Hard Bag exclusively recommends the Rockford flash and Logan says it does not change the EQ (engine on/off) and also that it came from Rockford and not just a "copy" of the 4-speaker no amp stock Harley flash. So it's really confusing hearing these conflicting stories. Either way, I appreciate your insights and will likely stick with the 6-speaker 2 amp flash.

Great video very informative. Ive been down this audio rabbit hole all day. You say in the video part of the reason you’ve choose the default setting is because it turns on the rear speakers. So if i don’t want the lower speakers which i assume is in the leg faring. Can i use the 6 Speakers - Upper Fairing / Saddle Bags / Rear Pods / 2 AMPS and get the same eq curve or if i was to do the rockford flash will that enable all my speakers and have the flat curve you speak of? With these being factory flashes will my local dealer be able to do this? TIA
@volunteeraudio
@volunteeraudio Жыл бұрын
Every flash is a default flash, some are renamed brand names like Rockford but all are a factory Harley amped or non amped flash, I shared the only correct flash and explained why we use it in the video. This is the best flash for upgrading your factory system by adding an amplifier and speakers, and no the local dealer cannot flash to a factory amplified flash unless you have factory amps installed and connected to the ecm data lines

We recommend this flash when installing any aftermarket amplifier, it does the following This flash makes 4 needed changes 1. Activate rear speakers in stock radio 2. Removes the factory bass boost and flattens the Eq 3. The EQ no longer changes when engine is running 4. Lowers factory radio output voltage to a cleaner more useable input signal for most amplifiers

I cannot clear the following codes after using your recommended flash: U0186c - Lost comm w/AMP 2 AMP COMMUNICATION DIAGNOSTICS U0186c - Lost comm w/AMP 1 AMP COMMUNICATION DIAGNOSTICS I clear them, then it keeps coming back! I flashed the radio using your rental tool and the recommended flash. Installed the Hertz amp 4.900 ( With plug-n-play harness ) I purchased from you for GTS head unit. How do I clear these codes that keeps coming back? Amp is on, everything sounds great! Just cannot clear these codes
@volunteeraudio
@volunteeraudio 9 ай бұрын
No need to clear these codes, you got these when running radio diagnostics, no light was illuminated on your dash. If you properly flashed the radio you used a factory amplified flash that would have used factory amplifiers. These codes just say the radio does not detect the stock amplifiers. It will always say this because you are using a non factory amplifier.

HI, I just bought a used 2014, its got a stage 2 upgrade, boom audio, 8 speakers. I've got 1 channel out on the amp on the front and on the back. (i took to the dealer for them to finally tell me its the amps). I noticed in the very big red letters there, DO NOT FLASH BOOM. I've got the 8 speaker boom. Would this work? (let alone the 6 speaker setting vs the 8 speaker setting)? any help would be great before i purchase new amps. The bike has 1 blown speaker. And I do notice the low mids are super punchy, I turned mu bass down. I'm optimistic the flash flattening out the bass will help if it can work on my 8 speaker boom.
