Question About BRP Sena Bluetooth Dongle

[PaSpyderRyder]

I just installed the BRP bluetooth dongle last night and am just wonder since i hooked it up with the enclosed cable to the radio should the usb plug charge the dongle or not ..... when mine is plugged in the red charging light is not coming on.

Thanks,
Bob

The USB cable charges the dongle only when the ignition is on. It takes about 4 hours to fully charge. Have you tried removing the dongle and putting it on a house charger, like for a phone? That is what I do the night before I know that I am going to ride. I charge my SMH10 headsets the same way.

Yes, I had the ignition on, the red charging light is not coming on when plugged into the harness usb cable, I do get the red charging light to come on when I plug it into my phone charger.

Thanks,

The charge light will not come on if it is fully charged already.

Hmm, mine (an older unit) will show red for charging and blue for fully charged.

Found What is Wrong

Well I found out what is wrong that the light will not show as charging, turns out that the USB part of the wire harness is not wired into the plug. Looks like it will be a trip to my dealer to get the faulty harness replaced. Hope they do not give me a hard time because I did the install myself.

They shouldn't give you a hard time, but you can bet they will charge you their hourly rate to fix it.
