San Antonio, TX | On November 22, 2008 I was riding back to San Antonio from the Houston IMS show and caught up with a gentleman on a 2003 Kawasaki Voyager XII. I pulled into staggered formation with him in the lead for about 50 miles. He pointed at an exit sign and we pulled off the Interstate.
He had put 90,000 miles on his Voyager XII since he got it in 2003. I asked if he had a CB, he did, and I said "Great, I have never used mine". We settled on Channel 24.
That is when I found out that my CB had the problem with the transmitter dropping out after 6 to 8 seconds of the Push to Talk (PTT) button being depressed.
I remembered reading about the issue here on Vision-Riders.com and looked up the old thread.

I checked my Software and Hardware versions running on My Vision and found the following.
Radio:
SW 4.11A
HW 4
CB:
SW 5.09A
HW 6
It seems like a re-flash would solve the transmit issue.
Today I took Sparks to the shop for its 5000 mile check up and mentioned the CB transmit issue to the Service Manager. I told him that a Flash upgrade should fix the problem.
I checked the transmitter out before I left the shop and it works fine now. I still need to catch up with someone with a CB to test the audio and the rest of the functions but all looks good so far.
I checked the Software and Hardware versions now running on My Vision and found the following.
Radio:
SW 5.12A
HW 4
CB:
SW 5.12A
HW 6
I have never heard of this 5.12A code version so I thought I would post the information. There are some changes that I have noticed.
1. The audio soft starts now. If you were going down the road and turned on you radio/iPod the audio would be very loud at first and quite down to the set level. Now the audio starts off quiet and builds to the set level.
2. The second screen in diagnostic mode (see below) is blank. When a button is pressed like "VOL +" the display shows the name of the button engaged "Voulme Up" instead of the two lines of 1's and 0's.
3. The third screen shows Tuner location and said "North America" not "USA" as stated below.
I will poke around and take notes tomorrow when I have time and post the results.
Vision-Rider Spocks' instructions are listed below for determining the Software and Hardware versions running on your Vision's communication equipment.
You can find this info out 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.

| Just checked my 2010 vision premium, found the following Stage one
Radio SW Ver 7.05A
HW 2 Boot Ver 7.00A
CB SW VER 7.05A

I still can't hear the Cb loud enough or transmit they can barely hear me, factory Head Sets ?
Any idea what the problem can be, would greatly appreciate it.
