I have a 2019 F3 Limited and finally got to pair my LG Smartphone with it. I have BRP Connect, and can access the music on my phone. But, I don't hear any sound from the speakers. The song shows that it is playing, but no sound. Help!

You might have the music set to play through the helmet. You can change it in BRP > music > settings
I am having trouble trying to play music from my Android phone on my F3 Limited. I have tried both BRP Connect, with data cable attached, and just with Bluetooth. I can see the albums and songs on the screen, and when a song is playing, no sound comes from the speakers. I have the audio set to speakers, not helmet.
So far I am not impressed with the whole system. Seems like it could be made simpler.
:gaah:
As far as I know, it's only compatible with Apple devices - iPhone iPods
well hell!Quote:

Choose continue or whatever to ignore the warning and increase the volume to full.
Thank you so much for your reply. I now can play music from my phone.
BRP Connect is useless!
Glad that worked for you. You will likely have to do that again everytime time after you have cycled your phone off and on. BRP Connect is not useless. I just prefer not to use it. Now that you have the volume issue fixed on your phone. You can go back to trying out BRP Connect. You may like the apps on your screen.Quote:

The OP has a 2019. The USB plug will work with an iphone or android phone and display compatible apps on the Spyders screen. Audio is done by BT. ipod or usb stick is no longer compatible. Not the same as your 2016.Quote:

This works well for me to listen to music and directions and does not lay out an objectionable noise level for those around me.
