SiriusXM Select advertises that it comes with "Up-to-the-minute traffic & weather for 8 major metropolitan areas" but no one can tell me how to access it. Travel Link comes up as an option for the 2019 Harley SGS on their website.


**UPDATE**

Up-to-the-minute traffic & weather for 8 major metropolitan areas is available in a few major cities, apparently Houston is not one of them.

I recently picked up a 2019 Road Glide Ultra and had the SiriusXM radio installed by the dealer before I took delivery. My understanding that a free trial was not available unless the bike came with the Sirius, such as the CVO models. Went online and saw a deal to get 140 channels for $60 for a year so I signed up online for that. Afterwards I decide to add the Travel Link for $1.99 per month and did that through the online chat. Went very smoothly, no issues in adding it. Not too impressed with the weather though, it seems like I can't zoom in very far. Not sure if that's because of my location or that's just the way it works.

99.9% sure Sirrus/XM comes stock all GTS radios and you get a free trial period. My buddy who bought a Ultra Limited last week did. I saw his radio while he was playing XM and he said it came on the bike.

They are XM capable but the module has to be bought separate unless your model specifically has it installed from the factory. I have a 2019 SGS with the Boom GTS and it was not installed.

I just installed the GTS radio in my 2016 CVO Road Glide Ultra via the SOUNDZ adapter. I also installed the newer XM Module. I transferred my XM from my 6.5 GT radio. All the XM radio stations worked just fine but no weather, gas prices or traffic. My wife called XM and of course was told the GTS cannot access the travel package. BS. My wife...armed with this thread told them that it does infact work on the GTS RADIO. 15 minutes later.........and $.40 per YEAR......yes per year the travel package was turned on it it works fine. I just took a 500 mile trip yesterday and today......this new GTS Radio is awesome in my opinion. Any of you guys with the 6.5 GT need to consider upgrading. This new radio is light years ahead of the 6.5 GT. So much better, faster and easier to use. I am thrilled to death.

My 19' RGS didn't come with it, but sounds like it saved me a headache though traffic and weather would be nice.
