Not trying to be a smart *** but none of my vehicles' radios automatically change to DST. The GPS sats don't know the date and neither does my Harley radio. No big deal to press one setting to get proper time.

 

I have RDS active on mine, but it doesn't change the time from standard to DST. I have a 2011 Chevy Tahoe and it doesn't change the time either. My wife's BMW does though.

 

I have a hard time believing that having to change the time twice a year is that irritating or frustrating.

How do you see your way clear of having to check air in the tires or putting gas in it?

 

 

 

US version/implementation of RDS is substantively different than the EU version. While RDS was developed in Germany, it surprises me that the BMW time update function works here is US. Didn't know that.

 

I really cant believe how much people bitch about the things that are so simply taken care of. They all must live in their own "Perfect" world, that is till they bought their Harley and now feel its such an inferior product.

 

My sentiments exactly! Perfect example of "some people are never satisfied." I suppose it's a way of venting other problems in one's life.

 

Have any of you guys been following this thread from the beginning? Have any of you guys read ANY of the host of other threads that deal with the various problems associated with the Boom audio system?

For clarification, the failure of the clock to follow DST is NOT my pet peeve; it just one more item, heaped upon all the other problems, which seems to indicate an indifference by Harley to pressure their vendor to get the system working properly once and for all. From other threads, I already realize I am in the minority thinking it is ridiculous needing to be hard-wired to the bike in order to use any of the alleged "Bluetooth" features. And, even when hardwired, it's a roll of the dice what I will be listening to once the roulette wheel of CB, weather band, AM, FM, "media" and/or intercom comes to rest. I'm particularly fond of those times I've shut the bike off listening to Brandenburg Concertos from my i-pod, only to have my eardrums shattered when the static of the weather band kicks in after startup.

As for DST, I wouldn't find it to be a burden pressing 1 button, twice a year, to adjust for it. Same as I don't find it to be a burden checking my tires air pressure before every ride, oil level about once every 2 weeks or refueling as needed. Indeed, I really don't even do the clock adjustment because here in the northeast, the riding season pretty much ends before the clocks "fall back" in November and doesn't begin before the clocks "spring ahead" in March. Therefore, I just leave it as is. For those rare rides during an unusually mild day(s) in between, I bring a laptop with me to assist in the particularly complex math associated with deducting one (1) hour from my clock's reading.

And, if you choose to put words in my mouth, please do so accurately. Nowhere have I claimed that Harley's line of bikes are "inferior"; indeed, I am overjoyed with my '14 Ultra. However, the Boom system and Harley's response [or lack thereof] to the problems? That's another story.

And I guess I'll beat this dead horse one more time - my wife's Durango [which, BTW cost about as much as my Ultra] automatically adjusts for DST.

 

Don't get so upset fella, it's just a discussion!!!
