Georgia | Hi Guys, I was at my dealer discussing A CB radio with the parts guy and he asked me if I would be interested in buying the sena bluetooth dongle. I told him that I already had one and that it sounded like crap and you have to turn the bass and treble down in order for the sound to be slightly clear. He called victory tech support and was told that the first batch that victory sold last year had a software problem and that they are replacing them free of charge if the customer brings it back. Victory stated that they knew about the problem around november 2012 but they had no way of tracking the customers that bought them. Well my parts rep swapped mine out for the updated one and it works very well and you don't have to turn the bass and treble down. I did notice that if you not only turn off the bikes speakers but also turn the bikes volume to zero the headset increases slightly. My dealer asked me to post this for those that purchased their dongle last year and were having the problems with bad sound and static. He said you should contact your victory dealer and if they give you a problem with exchanging yours, to have them call victory tech support to verify the recall.

| Thanks for the info. I just bought mine a couple of weeks ago and have had no problems. Won't the audio system turn off if you set the volume at zero? |

| Of course you have to have the external speakers set to off. Each time you turn the radio on or start the bike raise the volume up a little bit and then lower it all the way down and you'll notice that the volume will increase a little bit. It's not much but for me, it's enough to make it so I can hear it with ear plugs in.

Georgia | no, you're already going to have the external speakers turned off and the volume control won't affect your bluetooth headset. but for some reason when I turned the radio volume to zero my sena headset got slightly louder. |

Central Illinois | A bluetooth dongle does not know what is on the other end. It will link with any brand of headset. |

Katy, TX United States | I talked to my parts guy and he said the CB does not work with BT. You have to go with the wired system. |
