Why you need the Soundstream Reserve HDHU.14Si 2014-up Harley Davdison Radio in your Motorcycle!

Bought one a couple weeks ago and installed it in my '21 CVO Black Hole Road Glide. It is an awesome upgrade from the OEM radio and is working beautifully. Headed out on a ride from WA to AK in about 3 weeks and glad I'll be riding with the head unit.

Jay I have always appreciated your honesty, HD is doing exactly like your said, they sell products with the idea of we the customer coming back to them for upgrade after upgrade, they do it with their radios, they even do it with their bikes. You buy a bike and spend 5k upgrading it, they charge 50 bucks to flash a radio at least and you know what they charge to upgrade to their next level anything audio, it's crazy. God Bless Jay.

[@shurmanandthe_beasts]

I upgraded to the Sony ax7000 three years ago; rode in all kinds of rainy situations, sprayed water on it while washing the bike, and never had an issue with it operating in the rain, and it still works great today. My major complaint with the Sony is the screen is hard to see in bright sunlight, which is a safety concern when crushing the miles in high-traffic areas; additionally, the limited thumb control options and having to touch the screen to change selections on the screen while moving are safety concerns. What sold me on the Si are the better screen, bike info, and control options. I ordered the new Si radio from your shop a few days ago and can't wait to receive it and to get it installed.

You had me excited until you said it doesn’t support wireless headsets. That’s a deal killer. The reason people don’t have a whim is because of the horrid support and quality for anything but the HD branded Sena.

[@volunteeraudio]

It’s more complicated and costly than you would think, if enough people ask for it there may be a higher priced unit with those features in the future, they have already amazed me with everything this radio can do at its price point

[@SwansonWerks]

I second this, if it supported wireless headsets I would be interested.

[@withPercy]

Let me know if they decide to survey the market to understand the need for wireless comms support. I’d be happy to put the word out on our podcast. The number 1 complaint that always comes up in the Boom GTS unit is it’s lack of industry standard support for wireless comms. The architectural design of that unit for comms is out of date and alignment with modern tech. Not to mention there are a ton of riders who wear full faced helmets or don’t want to blast crap in public while they are riding.

[@bartb7790]

Same with me, I want to use the Packtalk series of headsets.

[@withPercy]

@@bartb7790 Same here. I run Cardo and not having support for that with CarPlay on my RGS is the one thing that I hate with the bike.

Depends on what year Harley, the radio displays what the engine computer can see, 14-16 has psi, 17-20 says ok, this is because Harley changed the sensor and ecm in 17 to only see if the oil pressure is above 10psi it says ok

I’ve had this radio for about 8 months now and it’s great. Now my CarPlay randomly stops working, yet my phone still charges. I have to reach in the glove box and unplug/plug in for CarPlay to come back. Heard of this at all?

Awesome radio...I should have waited...can you separate the Highpass filter front/rear? If not what do you recommend for a Hertz neo front and RG 6x9 in the lids?

65hz, the neos have a built in cap to protect them and you can also set the high pass filter on the amp

I have a 2016 Ultra Limited. Is the “si,” going to show gauges on the screen or is that just on the newer model bikes. Because that’s one of the main reasons I waited for this to be released. That and it’s such an awesome radio.

[@volunteeraudio]

Did you watch the video, I installed it on a 2014 police bike and yes the gauges work

[@cmoor052]

Great video! Loved the demo on an FLHTP, but I have a question about the hand controls... Current setup: '20 FLHTP w/RDRS and factory hand controls, fairing and tour pack speakers with a Sony 7000 and the hand controls do diddly for the radio. Even tried to swap for lighted hand controls and ended up causing the horn to continuously sound. Would a swap to the 14Si w/ iDatalink allow for radio control at handlebars? Would I need to replace the hand controls? VERY INTERESTED in viability.

[@volunteeraudio]

Watch this video, once you have the correct thumb controls installed the Si radio has amazing advanced thumb controls that will work with your police bike kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJbWnaCog9hjrrM

Questions: The system doesn't have actual GPS navigation (with a GPS antenna, software, etc.)? It's only able to use your phone cell network for nav? Also, is it possible to add CB Radio functions? We use that a lot for group rides.

[@volunteeraudio]

It does use the navigation from your phone but your cellular chip has an embedded gps chip also, this means navigation still works and is accurate even without cell service, there is no way to maintain cb

[@kevinstorm6009]

@@volunteeraudio my understanding of the system is that the cellular chip and embedded GPS chip is useless without cellular service. The phone needs to have access to mapping for the area you’re in before it can navigate. A standalone GPS does not; maps are preloaded. Unfortunately, the map database in a GPS requires updating every few years.

Hey my man on my factory radio the GT radio on my 2014 it did display oil pressure so there would have to be an oil pressure sensor for that. Bing that is a police bike did it come with a radio or no radio cuz if it didn't come with radio I could see why it wouldn't have an oil pressure sensor and not display the oil pressure again I have a 2014 ultra limited.

Hey Jay. Will the new Si work with my 2019 Road Glide FLTRX? Will I be able to use all of the features. I heard a rumor that I won't be able to use the gauges such as tire pressure monitor etc with this unit on my bike. Is this true? I have the first version you came out with. I just want to upgrade. Would it be appropriate for my 2019 FLTRX? Thanks in advance.

[@volunteeraudio]

This radio works on your 2019, it works on my 2014 and I have about 40 gauges to pick from. It varies by bike as to what can be seen, if your ecm can see it this radio can too and a gauge can be assigned for that data, if you have factory tpms sensors then they can be viewed on the screen

[@jeffreyvogelsong2858]

@@volunteeraudio thank you sir. I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to purchase the original reserve again. My bike doesn't have TPMS but I'm hoping the features on the si will outweigh the original reserve I purchased. I just got it in the mail and wanted to make sure I shouldn't return it and just get the original one? Thanks for the quick reply! I was one of the 1st to purchase the reserve from you when you came out with it and you were also every responsive to me then as well. Keep up the good work. I can get the TPMS from Harley for $213. I may just do that if it will also let me view it on my si.

@@jeffreyvogelsong2858 just so there is not confusion, you must have tpms from the factory for the si to display it. If Harley can add tpms and it display on the odometer then this radio will display it as well

I would appreciate a direct honest review (and road test) with boom stage 2. Is this radio an amount of “upgrade” only, or the “solution” for the problems with boom stage 2?

[@volunteeraudio]

Since you can enact the high pass filters you can solve the issue if too much low frequency bass blowing the speakers, the amps do put out more power when fed a much stronger input signal

[@717Chris]

Do i need to have my phone plugged into the radio for google maps like the boom radio?

It was originally designed as plug n CarPlay and you need to plug the phone into the usb port, current radios are shipping with a free wireless adapter so you do not need to plug your phone into while using this adapter
