Gave up on BRP connect

[WilcoJunoHotel]

I Changed the A2DP priority to be above the intercom.

How did you do that? On the bike or on the Cardo? Did you put the Nav on Cardo Channel 1?

I am trying to get phone, music and nav all working nicely with each other but so far my results are less than ideal with my Sena. I ordered a Cardo to see if this Channel 1 & 2 works any better.

As long as the headset is only paired to the bike along with the phone there shouldn’t be a problem hearing GPS as well as music along with intercom which is headset to headset paired. There is no Bluetooth modification needed.

Not only didn't it actually connect or work properly, but it is likely one of the worst designed pieces of software I've ever worked with. I ignore it.

CarPlay would have been a far better option. Perhaps an update in the future will change some of this, but I doubt it. I think they were foolish to even include it in it's current state.

Something like this hapened time ago with "Peugeot". They tray to manage their cars software and it was a disaster. Lot of problems and complains. So, they simply returned to Bosch original software control. No problems in that way for years.

Well when the intercom is up the turn by turn instructions do not come through. I Changed the A2DP priority to be above the intercom. Will have to test tomorrow some more. I did note that if you are near a waypoint that you are going to make, if you priess the X it will ask you if you want to cancel the next waypoint of the whole route. Got to test that out more.

I give up, can not get Google maps turn by turn to come through to the Scala Rider Q3 headset and still have the intercom working. Tried both with the smart phone direct to the head sets and via the trikes connections.

As hard as it is to believe, BRP connect is a version of Bosch's "MySpin" connect software. BRP is heavily involved, but my guess was given a losing hand of requirements vs budget.....

and MySpin was just recently adopted by Ducati and BMW for their upcoming bikes!

So hopefully we see improvement due to wider adoption and feedback....

That would be great. Bosch is a highly capable company.....just don't think they are getting allot of support to date. Maybe since Can Am is expanding usage as well, they will work with Bosch for updates, app incorporation, etc.

That whole BRP connect is very bad and forcing you to use the proprietary software plus only being able to use a cell is a HUGE negative. Were not in the era of 8 track tape players its the 21st century. Most all cars and tour bikes and bluetooth enabled and will work with most all bluetooth devices.

Just a vent, the more I read about this and others that feel like myself really gets my goat and horse :bdh:

Not sure what you are saying, I use Bluetooth on my Spyder to listen to music all the time, BRP connect is used to connect supported apps to the dash.

I'me now enjoying the new BRP Go as it works better and I see all the apps in one screen. Love it.

ACP requires a larger screen. Go watch some videos of how to set up and use ACP on a Honda Goldwing. It's more complicated!

Don't need to spend extra $$$ on added GPS plus mounting. Just plug the phone in and go. Easy peasy.
