Aubrey, TX | I searched through and did not see this particular question answered..but I could have overlooked...I was having the issue where when I tried to adjust the volume..the track/station would change. I took it in and knew from here that the module would have to be replaced or software updated. I checked the software and my radio has 4.13A and hardware 4. They replaced the module and I was told that the radio was not updated because it would only need updated if I had CB or XM. If they were to upgrade beyond 4.13A it would mess up what I have..according to Victory..anyone that can confirm this?
Now I have an issue..when I hit mute, not sure what it will do? Most of the time it adjusts volume before muting.

Alabama | This is what I was told. The thumb controls for the radio, cb, and cruise all now operate on resistance, mine has been replaced once already and is acting up right now. The techs have told me that if just a little bit of moisture gets in there it can change the resistance, thus causing mine to scan down when I hit the volume down button. I'm headed to the dealer this morning for service, fix the drain plug, replace the CB, new rear audio jack, new head set. and new thumb controls. All warranty except for the drain plug, during the last service the tech got in a hurry and cross threaded it, I freaked out when I saw oil under a Victory!!!!
Back to the thumb control. I've had all of the software updates and none will fix the controls, as the problem is hardware not software..
As for the software version I'll ask today and let you know... |

San Antonio, TX | If you push Tune + and it does a Tune - it is the controls. Software will not fix that.
My software levels.
Radio:
SW 5.12A
HW 4
CB:
SW 5.12A
HW 6
As described by Vision Rider Spock:
You can access this info by going into the Radio System Diagnostic menu on your radio. To do this follow the instructions below.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ACC and turn the radio off (Victory Motorcycles is shown on display)
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch back to ACC.
4. PRESS & HOLD the #1 preset button and MODE button while turning the radio power ON.
5. The diagnostics mode is entered. Press MODE to toggle through the diagnostic funtions. To exit diagnostics press Power button.
NOTE: A "Watchdog Error Cleared" message will occasionally appear as the first thing displayed. This can be ignored, it is an internal software notification.
6. The first screen shows the radio software (SW) & hardware (HW) revision.
7. The second screen is used to check buttons and button wiring circuts related to the radio / com. system. The display contains two lines of "Zeros". Each location corresponds to a radio button on the radio, handlebar switches, or passenger switches. A (0) represents a button not being pressed. A one (1) represents a button being pressed. If a "1" appears at an address in the upper or lower row of the radio display the button and circuit wiring are funtioning correctly.
8. The third screen shows Tuner location, which will always be set to USA.
9. The forth screen list the status of the radio amplifier.
10. The fifth screen displays vehicle speed. This can be used to test if the radio is receiving the vehicle speed CAN message from the PCM. It could also be used to test for a faulty CAN bus connection to the radio. If the speedometer is working but the radio is showing zero speed, it has no CAN connection.
11. If there are no accessories installed on the vehicle, the display will go back to the first screen. If accessories are installed, there are additional diagnostics screens for each accessory, showing the SW & HW revisions, etc.
