Adding BRP Bluetooth Dongle - Questions Answered.

[jcthorne]

I understand that this is one of the new features in the new HM20 headsets. Audio multitasking where it blends the two on the fly. Have not tried it and waiting for some reports on how well it works but I am thinking about upgrading my headset. Louise does not use the radio in her headset, just intercom so no need to change hers.

I saw a post asking about using non Sena Bluetooth headsets with this dongle setup. I have the Scala (G-9). Is anyone using this with the new dongle and how does it work? Any info would be great!

I have no Sena Bluetooth headsets, BILT Techino helmets, they work great with the SM10, but they only work either as the intercom between helmets or hearing the stereo. I haven't figured out yet how to have it with both at the same time. I'm still trying to get it so both the intercom and stereo works together and when you talk on the intercom the stereo fades a little bit. If anyone out there knows the solution, let me know. I am a new Spyder owner, and I am learning. Semper Fi mdale46, USMC 68-88.

Even the top end SMH10 or other previous Sena headset models wont do this.
When you tap the jog dial for intercom it turns off the music from the SM10.

I believe the new 20S will now do this.

Thanks Bob, I plan on doing some more checking into this and I will also check into the new 20S.

Problem with stereo radio to the Sena Headset

My Sena headset only gets mono from the radio (only right side of headset gets radio). When I use the intercom feature, I get both left and right. When I closed the spyder down for the winter I got both left and right from the radio. Any ideas on what happened??????

The Dongle is charged by the spyder but it has its own battery. If the battery is dead, it takes about 2 hours to completely charge it. When I first installed mine, it took about that long charging it before I could pair my headsets.

Will iPod dongle still work with CB gone?

This seems like a great idea to me. I have the full system in my RT-S, and use the wired headsets from BRP I never wanted the CB anyway, so if it has to come out to provide the bluetooth that would be OK.

However, does anyone know if the "IPod" interface in the trunk will still work if you take out the CB? Does the iPod controls and audio go through the radio or through the CB? My dealer is pretty clueless about the audio system on these Spyders, so I am hoping someone here might know.

If anyone has the audio system without the CB, does the iPod plug in the trunk still come with the system? Can you control the iPod from the control pod if you do not have the communications system?

Any/all input will be appreciated.


Mr Bill

Yes. Mine works fine on my 2014RT. Controls do work the iPod.

 

[finless]

Yes the iPod cable in the trunk has nothing to do with the ENT harness and the CB.

Not using dongle. Can I just unplug and remove it, and leave the wires alone?

2014 RT Limited with Dongle in Front. Dealer never did get it working and I don't need/use it anyway. I don't like the "bulge" it makes in the frunk wall and want to remove it but don't want to mess up any wiring connections that may require it there. Any help appreciated (new user).

I got the part in today, and will install it tomorrow afternoon. The only thing showing the wiring is the instructions that Lyonsden provided at the end of his post. Does not look to difficult, but I have been known to make thing harder than they look. I'll post on how it went and how the SM10 works with the :spyder2:'s radio once it's done.

I am also curious about the SM10 ( Dual Stream Bluetooth stereo transmitter) works with the spyder's radio. I have the Sena 10S motorcycle Bluetooth communication system that I purchased from Motorcycle Dave. I just need to install the SM10.

Check out you tube video for La Monster garage. I got one and it is great really cheap and easy if you want to switch over to headset instead of speakers
