Love the Road Glide and love listening to the radio when riding locally. When on a trip I listen to a mix CD that my wife made me with about 8 hours of music on it. The problem is I would like to be able to scan through the memory settings of the different radio stations via the hand controls insted of just the reqular scan which just stops on the next station it finds. Even with me being tall with long arms it is a pain and destracting to lean up and hit the preset memory buttons.

Is there anyway to change the scan on the hand controls to just scan through the memory settings?

If not was thinking about replacing the stock radio later. Is there an aftermarket radio/hand control unit that would do this?

Thanks for the help.

 

You've probably already purchased an aftermarket radio but just in case others are interested, I found this on another site. I think it addresses the question:

"The right side control button will cycle through the station presets by default, hold it for 3 seconds and it scans, hold it for 5 and it will scan the presets. Basically the same on CD operation too: Up or down will cycle tracks, hold it and it fast forwards, hold it longer and it scans the tracks. MP3 players you have to screw with on your own, but there are some interfaces out there that make it easier. There's even one I've seen (cant remember who makes it) that takes SD cards and mounts on the bars - looks like part of the bike except for the lead out to the AUX input."

 

Call Iron Cross Audio and ask Tony. He knows that HK radio inside and out...

 

I have the same issue with mine. Why wouldn't you be able to easily scan through your presets, instead of taking a hand and an eye off the road to press buttons on your radio?

For some reason, you can change tone, balance, fade, etc from the thumb controls - something most people rarely if ever mess with.

 

What he said is true this is what you can do!!!

 

Thank you... This just saved me who knows how many hundred dollars replacing a radio.

 

This does not work on my 2009 Ultra
right side control is station scan only
memory preset scan is activated by holding more soft key for 3 seconds
(above from owners manual) I test and it is accurate for radio

Yeah, it doesn't scan through the presets by default. I'm going to try holding it down for a few seconds and see if that works though....

From Tony at Iron Cross Audio......

"Press and hold the "More" button at softkey 6. This will activate the program scan mode. "P-scan" will be displayed on the display. "

I tried it. It does work

 

Thanks for the info, could never remember to look at the manual. Only ever thought about this when I was riding. Learn something new every day. Do you know if it scans all the presets, or just the 5 you have on the display of the radio and when you find the preset you like, how do you stop it? Thought I would push my luck.... Thanks.
