new 2015

[mtbear]

Well I went and did it yesterday. Traded in my 2012 rts e5 for a new 2015 beautiful red ltd.
Sure ride smoother than my 2012 and you can tell there is a different motor and tranny in it.
I just have to remember to put it in 6th gear instead of stopping at 5 on dash. lol.
Question? does anyone know about the bluetooth on the Garmin. Is it hand free with my phone or do I need a helmet connection. I can dial out and receive calls on the Garmin and hear them on my speakers but cannot talk to anyone. Instruction in book does not say much about it.

Not sure on the Bluetooth, but i think you need the Bluetooth adapter.


I know you will enjoy that new ride, just remember that you don't need the high revs anymore.

I'm not very familiar using the Garmin GPS as a hands-free but I do believe it should work, especially if, as you say, you can hear them.

Of course, trying to have a phone conversation thru the GPS while riding the Spyder would be problematic at best.

Much better to use a helmet-mounted headset, I use the Sena SMH10 which seem to be the crowd favorite.

I also think the intense red pearl color is my favorite.

Congratulations on the 2015, it is a far superior machine and you will love it. I do believe that you will need a speaker setup in your helmet or no one will ever hear your side of the story. :roflblack:

Started snowing night I got the new spyder and has not stopped. We have about a foot now so will have to wait to ride some more. At least I live about 100 miles from dealer so got a decent ride home after purchase.:clap:

You will need a bluetooth headset paired with your GPS if you want to use it to make or take calls.

Congratulations! As I understand the Garmin and BRP instructions you are going to need a Bluetooth transmitter, SM10 or some such, and a headset, SMH10 or some such, to talk on your phone without having to speak directly into the phone -- at least that's what I learned and set up on my RT-S to use my phone while riding. I have not yet added a GPS because I am awaiting a Zumo 590 mount for my Tri-Aixs bars and they are allegedly on back order.

 

[GunDoctor]

Have the Garmin 590 and you will need a Bluetooth headset with mic.
