Roadie, I completely agree with your opinion. We have a saying: "If you have money for a horse, you must also have money for oats."
But for $30,000 I should have GL DCT TOUR 2022 with up-to-date maps, since it's TOUR! ACP should work perfectly every time the motorcycle is started. So I wait to see if it connects automatically or if I have to disconnect and reconnect the cable. The radio is on par with a $5 transistor radio. And for that $30,000, Honda should provide its customers with accurate information and advice free of charge automatically. And when I ask dealers, they know very little. That's why I'm on this forum, to learn something.
For me, buying equipment to make something work on the GL is fundamentally wrong. Everything should have worked 100% right out of the Honda.
