New Guy Question on Garmin GPS and the Spyder Infotainment System

[jdgretz]

Sorry for the New Guy (tm) questions again but...

If I'm going to use my Garmin 665 with XM Radio for navigation and headset audio, is there any reason to pair anything to the Spyder? I have an Android phone so there is not concern about Apple CarPlay. A cursory read of the owners manual does not seem to indicate any other reason to pair a phone or headset to the bike. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

jdg

No reason to do it other than convenience. I pair my android and headsets to the bike so I can select media and control the phone music with the handy bike controls also volume/mute. I don't care for turn by turn so I have not paired my Zumo XT2. Lots of choices for you.

Thanks. I'll be playing with the options to see what I like best.

I would pair everything to the Garmin. That seems to work best for me.
