Question about Harley Davidson Road Tech HA90 MP3 Player

Low volume! All works well with the HA90 except that the volume is about half or less, of a CD or FM. I have to "peg" the volume to to the max, to get a clue of the song at 65mph. Help!! (and thanks!)

Try using a program like MP3 Gain, it's a free download. Analize and filter your files by changing the track settings. It may need to be done and tested on the bike a few times. But I did it for a friend of mine and it worked great. Read the help and get familiar with the program, it really doesn't take too long and it worked!

Look on the back of the player. You will find an a/b switch on the back of the HA90. It talks about changing the setting if the volume is too low. the switch on mine is behind a rubber boot. Also I just upgraded to the hog tunes speakers in front and that helps too.

You have to open up the unit and change the switch inside from A to B, or visa versa. This will solve your problem. Check HDforums for more info.

I can't find a manual either. Can I assume you really mean the sound is muted for EVERY source, not just tuner and CD?

I'd guess it's either MUTED or a Tape Monitor is active. Turn the volume down, select FM as the source, tune a station and use it as your test source. Look around for indicators that give a clue.

NEVER troubleshoot anything with the volume control turned way up. You'll blow up or damage the speakers and your hearing right after you discover and correct the misplaced control.

Are there any upgrades for the Harley Davidson Road Tech HA90?

Not really, The problem with the older radio is that the way they fed the power to the mp3 side was to back door it through the FM modulator, thus resulting in a lower volume than theradio. Unfortunately there is no fix for it.

JVC Car stereo with cd shuts off when volume is turned up

Hi Ithink , you are trying to push too much power to your speaker setup. Your cd, tuner, player, is only go as loud as the volume at half way setting. Your speakers are , probally good ones that want more power, and making your player overheat and making circut protection cut power. I would say, you should use it at 15, and that is as loud as it should be played to aviod distortion and overheating.
I'm guessing max is like 25 or 30, Is that so? You can listen to louder tunes by installing an amplifier. Or if you have an amp in your system it may be overheating, I would really like you to let me know if you have been trying use it at volume higher than half the maxium volume setting, so I know I helped, and you can start looking into power amp's. You can crank it up for good parts, but most players were not made to send alot of juice to good big speakers at high volume level.
Tell me what you think, tooldoc

97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Stereo problem

If you still have audio but unable to turn the volume, there are 02 possible problem:
- the volume control is defected will not respond ( electronic volume control; need logic low/high to activate the audio )
- the front control PCB is broken ( can be fixed if there is a small cracked )
If no audio at all then most likely audio output IC defected

I have purchased a bike which had the Road tech HA90 MP3 / WMA Digital Music Player on it. Okay this has been an ordeal getting it to work. Cannot locate a instruction manual or the operation manual , I relied solely on Internet Search and mostly this web site. Here is what I have done. First used a 4G Micro SD Card - formatted to Fat 32 ...nothing...nothing seen or recognized... err no all sorts of errors...NEXT a friend has a player so rode over checked his card in my player and all is well ...HIS card is a 512 mb.IT WORKS PERFECT !!!! NO 512 SD Cards anywhere...the lowest 4GB. (Unless you order online) I have seen somewhere that someone wrote that 512 was the largest ...then another has wrote nothing over a 2G ...Now since I do not have a manual looked back at catalog page and it came with 64mb ..best of both worlds I have been able to by chance locate a 1GB SD Card locally . They no longer make cards under 4GB or stores do not carry around here, but can get on Amazon...Okay back to the issue. NOW TRYING THE 1GB card in Fat format / then reformat to FAT32 Tried it and the player recognizes the card tells me the number of songs I have on the card , is going thru the motion but NO SOUND.....now what???? I plan to get with friend and check info on his card regarding format etc. since it works, and order a 512 mb card ..HOWEVER Does anyone have the magic potion to offer advice on what to try next??? Thank you
