Video-How to Flash Harley Boom Box Wireless Headset Interface Module-WHIM-Digital Technician

October 18, 2017 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Video-Using the Harley dealership Digital Technician software, we show you how to flash a Boom Box Infotainment System after installing a Wireless Headset Interface Module or “WHIM”. Only authorized dealerships have access to this software. There is a specific process that needs to be followed and particular boxes that need to be checked for a successful flash. After a successful Boom Box flash, you'll have a new menu item in your setup options called “Wireless Headset”. If you see that then you know it was successful.

Video-How to Install Harley Wireless Headset Interface Module-WHIM-Bluetooth

October 17, 2017 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

In this completely free tutorial video, we show you exactly how to install the Harley Wireless Headset Interface Module (WHIM), and explain the exact parts you'll need. There are specific ways things need to be installed for proper operation. Don't waste your money by having a dealership do this install. You can do it yourself right in your very own shop or garage with this step-by-step tutorial video.

Video of Interest: (Please watch, so you are fully educated on the WHIM)

Davidson Wireless Headset Interface Module-WHIM-What You Need To Know-Problems & Issues?

Important:

After you complete the WHIM install you will have to take your motorcycle to a Harley dealership and have your Boom Box Infotainment system flashed (re-configured), so it will recognize the new WHIM and operate properly. Harley dealerships are the only persons allowed to have the proprietary software necessary to do this Boom Box system flash and it is called “Digital Technician”. Some dealerships charge for this simple system flash (5 minutes at the most) and others don't.

Also, don't forget to hook the WHIM up to your own laptop and use the Harley/Sena PC or MAC Desktop Application to update the actual WHIM operating software prior to taking your motorcycle in for the dealer Boom Box system flash. You'll use the same Harley/Sena desktop application to make certain your Bluetooth headset is up to date.

Go here for the appropriate Harley/Sena PC/MAC Desktop Application & All Harley/Sena Branded Headset Software Updates

Frequently Asked Questions:

Question: Will my regular non-Harley branded Sena headset work with the WHIM?

Anwer: Sort of. The only way you'll get “stereo” sound with the WHIM is if you pair a Harley branded 20's headset. With other regular Sena branded headsets (no HD logo) you'll only get mono sound. Also, you'll want to make sure your regular Sena headset software is up to date. You'll have to contact Sena to figure out if your regular Sena headset will pair with the WHIM, so you can get only mono sound. I can say that the regular Sena 20s and Sena 10u will pair with the WHIM in mono as we've tested them.

Question: Will another non-Sena headset work with the WHIM?

Answer: Yes, maybe. Some other brand Bluetooth headsets will pair with the WHIM, but you'll only get mono sound. You'll have to just test it and see if your particular Bluetooth headset will pair with the WHIM. We don't have a list.

Harley Models Coming Equipped with the WHIM:

Owners of 2014 & newer Harley models with the Boom Box must purchase the WHIM on their own and install it as an “add-on”. 2018 & newer Harley CVO models with the Boom Box are coming already equipped with the WHIM out of the factory.

Better Alternative/Sena Freewire:

We here at Law Abiding Biker Media still believe the Sena Freewire ($250) is a much better option, as it is cheaper and you'll get stereo sound even with regular Sena headsets you may already own. And you'll get stereo sound with other brand wireless helmet headsets. With the Sena Freewire, you also get full Boom Box integration and rider/passenger communications just like the WHIM.

GET A SENA FREEWIRE IN OUR STORE HERE

Note: With the single WHIM, you can run two Harley branded wireless Bluetooth headsets. With the Sena Freewire, you'll need one module for the rider and one for the passenger. You'll need to install a 7-pin DIN coms port for the Freewire and we have a free video on how to easily do that.

GET OUR HARLEY 7-PIN DIN INSTALL VIDEO HERE

What are we going to do here at Law Abiding Biker Media? FREEWIRE OR WHIM?

We here at Law Abiding Biker Media will stick with the Sena Freewire. It gives all the functionality of the WHIM at a fraction of the cost. And best of all, it works in stereo with all the great Sena brand headsets we already own!

Podcast-Joining me in the studio were Patron Member Russell Roberts and Matt “Lurch” Couchman! We did this episode Live you our Youtube Channel originally.

Join the Biker Revolution!

Many in our awesome Law Abiding Biker community have begged us to put up this page and want to help us take things into the future. It's a Biker Revolution!

What we need help with? We are trying to build a new shop/garage space and studio for recording podcasts and filming more tutorial and review videos. I have been saving for years, but I need help to see it through in a timely manner. And, so things can be done right.

GO TO OUR STUDIO & SHOP FUNDRAISER PAGE HERE AND GET INVOLVED!

History:

Law Abiding Biker Media began in March 2013 with nothing and we've never looked back as we have seen rapid growth. We have been working tirelessly to help as many bikers/motorcyclists as we can worldwide via our weekly Podcast and YouTube Channel.

Did you know? Behind the scenes, we all still work full-time LEO jobs and do this on the side out of a pure passion to help & connect with bikers. Our online community members continue to support us and are the reason we keep growing. We incur many expenses to create and get the constant content out to bikers.

CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!

My family sacrifices:
My wife of 21 years and two daughters (7 & 12) have sacrificed along with me and understand my mission and passion. They have lost time with me and have given up our entire garage and their beloved bonus playroom above the garage as Law Abiding Biker growth needs took them away over the past 4 plus years.

Working for you in the sweatshop:
The crew here have all sweated because of no sufficient AC for years while recording podcasts in the bonus room & garage.

Out of space if we want to grow:
We are simply out of space and need more space to take this platform into the future to continue to help bikers. And some needed upgrades. And, I'd love to give my family their garage and bonus room back.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE!

Humble request for help:
We are humbly asking for your financial help, so we don't have to stop any construction and see it through. This would mean so much to the crew here behind the scenes to have a proper space for us to produce content in. This would definitely motivate everyone here to keep moving forward and realize bikers love what we're doing for them.

Who will this benefit? Bikers & motorcyclist worldwide with continued content

What will the funds be used for? Construction costs

When do we need the funds? By December 15th, 2017

Harley Wireless Headset Interface Module-WHIM-Bluetooth-NO STEREO SOUND? Beware!!

October 14, 2017 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

As of the date of this video, the Harley Wireless Headset Interface Module (WHIM) will not pair for “stereo” sound with any other Bluetooth headset except the Sena made Harley Davidson 20s headset. This means for wireless Bluetooth headset “stereo” sound from your Boom Box Infotainment System, you'll have to fork out more money and buy the Harley stamped Sena 20S headset. And you'll need to pay a dealership to “flash” your Boom Box system after install to get it to work.

GET A SENA FREEWIRE IN OUR STORE AND GET FULL STEREO SOUND WITH YOUR REGULAR SENA (NON-HARLEY) HEADSET WIRELESSLY AND GET FULL BOOM BOX INTEGRATION JUST LIKE THE WHIM:

BECOME A PATRON MEMBER AND GET BENEFITS: (Shirts, Stickers, Private Facebook Group, Premium Videos)

GET THE BEST HARLEY “WIRED” HEADSET SOLUTION FOR FULL BOOM BOX INTEGRATION HERE:

The WHIM will pair with other Sena wireless headsets not stamped with the Harley logo, but you'll only get terrible mono sound. The WHIM will also pair with some other brand wireless headsets, but you'll get the same “mono” sound result.

You will get full wireless headset Boom Box integration with any wireless Bluetooth headset you can get to pair with the WHIM. That means voice commands, turn-by-turn GPS directions, phone calls, music etc. Again, you'll only get “stereo” music sound if you buy the Harley stamped Sena 20S headset.

GET OUR POPULAR HARLEY BOOM BOX TUTORIAL VIDEO SERIES HERE!

We have done extensive tests and are just sharing the facts with the biker community. Even if you go to the Harley Davidson Sena 20S and WHIM software update page and install that software into your regular Sena 20S headset not stamped with an HD logo, you still will not get stereo sound. There is nothing you can do except pay the Harley tax.

OFFICIAL HARLEY/SENA/WHIM/BOOM BOX SOFTWARE UPDATE PAGE HERE:

The best way to get full Harley Boom Box wireless Bluetooth headset integration and full stereo sound with your non-Harley stamped Sena Headset it to get the Sena Freewire. This is what we use here at Law Abiding Biker Media. It does everything the WHM does at a fraction of the cost.
