Infotainment blues
Looking for some help and advice:
Last year I bought a used 2014 Street Glide standard, rode it for a month and a half and stored it for a New England winter the radio worked great up until the last couple of days before I put it away. Sometimes it would come on, sometimes not. If I stopped after a while and restarted the bike it would work great.
Last week I couldn't get the radio to come on at all. I pulled/replaced the fuse, start/stopped the bike but still couldn't get by the clock display. I figured it must need the latest update, so I carried a jump drive with the update just in case it decided to work.
Finally after an hour ride, I restarted the bike and the warning screen came up and I was able to work the radio. I switched to acc. and was able to up-load the latest update from Harley successfully!
Now, days later, I cant get it to go by the clock again. The bike is not under any type of warranty. Before I bring it to the dealer, questions.. Has this happened to anyone else? if so, what was the fix? If I have to buy a new radio, is the 6.5 worth the extra $$? I really thought the update would cure the problem, but it seems not.
Thanks for reading...

Try a radio reset
I have not heard or read about a radio acting like this. My experience is when it begins to do strange things that a radio reset will correct a lot of problems. Pretty sure this is the first thing the dealer would do. I don't have the instructions in front of me, but, they have been on this forum many times. Try doing a search for " infotainment reset" and follow the directions.

My '15 Roadglide did this same thing. Rode all day Saturday crankin the tunes then Sunday morning, no radio, just the clock. I was still under warranty but dealer service closed on Sunday. Long story short: radio needed update. So try an update before you buy anything. I bet it will solve the problem.
