Harley-Davidson Skyline OS Navigation included, or extra?

Navigation on Street Glide and Road Glide 2024 - extra costs or included?

Not only have the new Grand American Tourers been given a completely new design, but in the new 2024 model year they will also be equipped with the advanced Skyline OS infotainment system, which we have only seen in the new CVO models could see.

It has now been announced that Harley-Davidson in the USA for activating the navigation in the large view. As can be seen in the following picture, the extension cannot yet be ordered. Let's get straight to the question: does this also affect customers in the DACH region?

Harley-Davidson navigation fully activated in the DACH region

In the USA, the Harley-Davidson Online Store a special offer under which, for 349 dollars, an additional activation for the Skyline OS navigation system is required. This activation makes it possible to show the navigation in full width on the display. In addition, the audio navigation activation allows announcements to be transmitted directly via the motorcycle's infotainment speakers without the need for a headset for the rider or passenger.

Now the big question is, how will Harley-Davidson handle this in Germany, Austria and Switzerland? When I asked Harley-Davidson, I received the following information! In our region, Harley-Davidson will handle this in a more customer-friendly way, partly because the European market has different customer requirements, so Harley-Davidson has not made the expansion of the system subject to a charge in our region. Navigation in the Skyline OS is therefore fully enabled.

Harley-Davidson starts cooperation with Cardo

Harley-Davidson is now cooperating with Cardo, a leading provider of communication systems for motorcyclists. Last year, Cardo supplied the first headsets specifically for the new CVO models from Harley-Davidson. This partnership is characterized by the cooperation with JBL, a renowned manufacturer of audio equipment.

JBL is known worldwide for its high-quality speakers, headphones and audio systems and stands for first-class sound and robust construction. This collaboration underscores Harley-Davidson's commitment to providing its customers with an outstanding audio experience by leveraging Cardo's expertise and JBL's quality.

Harley-Davidson on a new course with customer focus and innovative equipment

The new Cardo headsets are also included with us, as is the unlocked Apple CarPlay. That's what I call customer-friendly, it's clearly recognizable that Harley-Davidson has changed its strategies to be more customer-oriented. Of course, we can always find something to criticize, but we should also mention positive developments.

Mit Spannung erwartet man in Deutschland gegen Ende Februar das Eintreffen der ersten Harley-Davidson Street Glide und Road Glide It has not yet been confirmed, but I assume that we will be able to see the new models at the next open house dates at the Harley-Davidson dealerships.

Things are cooked hotter than they are eaten

I will write a separate article on the subject of the CVO Street Glide chassis, as I have been asked what the recall in the USA is all about and whether the new Street Glide could be affected. To be clear, the recall is only about the CVO Street Glide, not the CVO Road Glide, as you could read in some comments.

The new Street Glide is not affected by this, and this issue is more hotly debated than eaten. There is a problem, but only if you don't give it the necessary running-in time and, above all, if you don't set it up correctly for the rider in advance, especially in terms of weight. So much for now, I'm currently working on detailed information.

These are based on the design of the CVO models that Harley-Davidson presented just last year.
