Can Am Radio and a CB with Bluetooth Solution

[Vidman]

I am a prospective buyer of a 2014 RT. One of my concerns for my long trips is the use of a CB. Currently I use the Sena SMH10 paired with my iPhone for Cell and music. I also pair the SMH10 with a SR10 and a portable CB for this option. I contacted SENA Support to check on the following possibility (as the CAN AM CB will not work with the blue tooth dongle in the Spyder - which is the Sena SM10).

Hi,At this time the only solution to CB via bluetooth on a Can Am Spyder is to use the SR10 with the proper cord to portable CB being used. I use this on my motorcycle.Can the SR10 AND the SM10 on the Can Am (if equipped) be paired at the same time with the SMH10?Thanks
Chuck"

Sena Response:
"Hello Chuck,Yes, the SR10 and the SM10 can both be paired to the SMH10. You can pair the SMH10 to each device using the Standard Phone Pairing method.Standard Phone Pairing: Hold down the Phone button for 5 seconds until both red and blue LEDs starts to flash rapidly then let go of the Phone button. You will hear the headset say "Phone Pairing".

So there is a way to use a portable CB with Bluetooth and all the other Electronic Media from Can Am entertainment/GPS stack.

I have the SMH10 on my helmet. I use the SR10 for my portable cb and also paired my smh to the bluetooth dongle. Not 100% ideal as you dont cant use the built in PTT button or squelch controls, but you are have everything else. I really have a hard time understanding what is so difficult about having full built-in bluetooth support inside the radio itself. The only reason it isn't done is they haven't wanted to do it yet.
