Unable to connect Schuberth Bluetooth helmet to 2018 Spyder
I have a Schuberth C3 helmet with the SRC-System bluetooth, and am unable to connect to my 2018 CanAm RTL. The helmet is able to connect to another Schuberth C3 helmet, an iPhone, a Garmin GPS (on another motorcycle), and even a laptop computer. but every time I try to connect to the CanAm, the CanAm Bluetooth function (add helmet) times out. I’ve tried two helmets with the same result, so it’s not a bad helmet. I’ve also tried connecting to the CanAm as both rider and passenger, but neither works.
Has anyone been able to connect a Schuberth C3 SRC-System helmet to a CanAm (specifically, the 2018 model that has built-in Bluetooth)? Given that the Schuberth connects to just about every other device, the CanAm is the prime suspect, but that's going to be a tough road to go down.

The response from Schuberth
I got an email from Schuberth support this morning with the details about the inability to connect to the 2018 Spyder:
===
Since the C3 SRC has only 1 bluetooth channel, you will only be able to pair to your Garmin, with your phone paired to Garmin so that information from your phone will pass through the Garmin to the headset. This is the same case with the 1st Gen SRC Pro.
If you have a 2nd Gen SRC Pro, you will have 2 Bluetooth channels, but if you have the phone and Garmin paired to the SRC separately, both channels will be taken up, so there won’t be any room for the CanAm. To pair all three devices to your 2nd Gen SRC Pro, you’ll need to pair your phone to your Garmin, and your Garmin to the 1st channel on your SRC. Then pair your CanAm to the 2nd Channel on your SRC.

Not what I wanted to hear, but at least it's a definitive answer. Now I need to start looking for a communication system that will fit on a C3 helmet.
