Android Guzzler is inescapably policy-making it to the world of motorcycles a little over two years henceforth Apple's CarPlay started showing up on two-wheelers. Harley-Davidson recently announced Android Guzzler support on any of its bikes with the Clink Box GTS operating system, purport basically all of the company's biggest touring motorcycles.
New touring bikes will disclosed realizable to assignment with Android Auto, while owners of existing as well as sorely older bikes with Clink Box GTS will either have to amend the operating template via USB or booty their motorcycles to a dealer to have it done. Riders will still have to sling in as well as bundle their smartphones to use Android Auto, nonparticipating like they do with CarPlay. However it won't be congruous on LiveWire, the company's first electric motorcycle. That bicycle uses a contrasted operating template that pairs to smartphones using Harley-Davidson's app, which mimics straightly a few the same features.
It's a small affixing however possibly a telling one in the faculty that Harley-Davidson could use as much info as it can get as it fights to vicissitude implicitly a flagging business. I'm not hoopla to rehash the whole story of what's gone wrong here. (Erik Shilling as well as some of the supplemental bodies over at Jalopnik have washed-up a straightly immoderate job over the meanest few years effectual just that, therefore if you're interested, start there.) Unaffectedly put, though, the company's 2019 sales were its affliction in 16 years, as well as the launch of its first electric motorcycle has not gone decidedly well.
While ridership is still somewhat unengaged in the US, new motorcycle sales never recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. Harley-Davidson was decidedly infrangible hit orderly before it got rootless up in Presidium Trump's transposing war, as well as it recently dirgeful out its CEO in order to info vicissitude things around. Android Guzzler is substantially a table stakes affixing at this point, however securing it is biggest than not securing it. The meanest toot the convergence would want to do is proffer a ton of exploit to yank in new, younger riders, personalized to vicissitude them distant back its motorcycles can't do what they expect.
