The instructions say to remove the CB module, but do not mention re-connecting it. For anyone with a CB, I would contact BRP before buying to make sure you do not loose the option of the CB.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

SM10 Sena adapter part #...
I just got off of the phone with SENA and they claim that the only adapters they have to connect the sm10 to the Spyder are the 7 pin DIN type. Has anyone come up with a part number for the dongle that will connect directly to the radio, and supply power as well as audio?
Still waiting for the call to say its here
What you have stated is correct Sena have produced a DIN style interface which will connect the onboard audio (if you have it fitted) to the SM10, which will let you hear the onboard system if you have the SMH10. Lyonsden has been down this path and it all works. Am still waiting for my package to arrive here in OZ. When I finally get it I will post what is marked on the packaging if that helps, could be another week or so. If that is too long you may want to contact Dave - site sponsor to get the lowdown.

so if you buy the SM10 and the SENA cable directly from SENA it will allow the onboard radio to be used via BlueTooth?

you should be able to pair any devices with BT via the dongle

You need the BRP cable. I doubt sena makes a cable with the proprietary connection that plugs into the radio unit. It will let you listen to the radio/ipod via your bluetooth headset. My understanding is anything that comes out of the speakers will come out through your headset, though I may be mistaken there. I only have radio/ipod, so I can't tell you about gps or cb (listening only if it works at all, no speaking).
Yes you can get the interface cable from SENA
Yes the interface/bridging/ what ever you want to call it din style cable is available direct from SENA. Yes you need this to connect the SM10 to the onboard audio. This then connects via BT to the SMH10 which will give you intercom/gps/phone and onboard audio (if fitted) All BRP has done is get a package from a third party, have it branded by them with their logo and sell it as a product with their logo on it and charge a crap load more for it. This package is not available from OZ BRP dealers. In OZ we have no choice but to either import the whole BRP system from the US or go straight to the horses head and get it via our SENA importers here in OZ. Unfortunately still waiting for the package to arrive via the SENA reseller here in OZ.

Well I looked at the cable that Sena shows and it looks nothing like the one from BRP for the dongle. The one from BRP hooks up to the radio itself and the one from Sena looks like it plugs in where the ipod does. If it does, where would you plug in your ipod? I have the dongle kit from BRP and I got it from Bert's Mega Mall (site sponsor) for $212 freight included. Is there really that much savings?:dontknow: I wouldn't think so.
Its what the importer tells me
Robby :spyder:
Gday Lyonsden, spent a heap of time discussing with the importer and wasnt until I pressed him to look deeper that he finally found the release from SENA which is "supposed" to be the Din style cable/interface/linkage which is plugged into the radio from the SM10. I am still waiting for it to end up in my hand. As far as cost, it is the whole package(SMH10,SM10 and interface cable) that is a fair difference, not just the SM10, allthough I can still have it here in Oz for $180au, if I got it from the US I would have a fairly high freight charge on top. It does help that our $$ is still slightly better than yours, but why would I bother when I can have it landed here and still have all the warranties stand up over here. I am still waiting for the arrival of my order. As soon as I get something concrete in my hand I will update.

This DIN cable would plug in where one would plug in their wired headset. Not directly into the radio unit itself like the BRP cable that you can only get through the kit.

That makes more sense but what if you're not wired for the headsets? I don't think mine is. At least I don't think so. I didn't order the headsets. ??

If you aren't wired for headsets, you need the BRP kit. There is no way around it. And unless you are willing to have either a wire running from outside your bike to the inside or want the dongle out in the open, there is no way around getting the kit.

How does the unit get power?
I am in the process of ordering and I think I will follow your lead and install in the trunk. One question.....how or where does the unit get power?

the cable included in the kit provides audio via a standard 3.5mm jack as well as power via usb.

It gets the power from the spyder by the cable that comes with the kit. Power comes out of the radio where you plug the cable in. You don't have to tap into anywhere.

SMH10R is sexy and has a lot more functionality but........ we're stuck with what is offered

I have an SMH10R. while im not 100% satisfied with the build quality, it works fine with the SMH10 units i have on my other helmets, as well as the bluetooth dongle and my cb radio dongle and my phone, all simultaneously. There is nothing stating you HAVE to use BRP supplied headsets.
To be honest, you don't need the bracket, the sm10 comes with some sticky backed mounting plates that take up a whole lot less space.
