    Default How to set up Bluetooth on F3T

    I want to mount/play music from my iPhone on the handlebars to play through the speakers. I have a little Bluetooth Dongle in the glove box above the instruments.
    Does anyone have a detailed description or link to video how to set this up to play from iPhone?

    Since it makes a big difference on the best way to do a BT connection, depends on the model year of your F3T. Please tell us if you have a 2017 or older model or a 2018 or newer.

    So a BT dongle is the way to go for a 2016. I did a quick search and found this. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204091 I would think you need to read the instructions for the dongle on how to put it in pairing mode.
    I hope this helps. Maybe iPhone users can add some added info.

    Billy,
    Appreciate the help so far. Read that link. What I'm also looking for is the settings on the CanAm as that will come into play i'm sure.

    Use the mode button to choose the audio screen. The speaker icon on the top. Then use the set button to choose the type of audio input you want. In your case it is the aux input. So keep pressing until you get there.

    This is from my foggy memory. So if it does not work let me know.

    In viewing the video, the only thing left out was setting the audio to AUX. Once I did that it came through loud and clear. On another video I saw pretty much the same thing but the guy went further showing turning off the ignition and holding the MODE button and the system kept on playing but everything on the bike shut off. The to turn that off, hit the flasher button once and then again. That turned everything off.
    NICE....
