Sena SM10 and Bluetooth from the bike

[finless]

This is the reply I got from Sena

Hello,
Thanks for your email.
All SENA headsets can be paired to two HFP devices and one A2DP device. That's 3 devices.
HFP is used for voice (phone calls and NAV directions)
A2DP is used for music
In case 5, the iPhone is *only* use for voice/phone calls (HFP), the iPod for music (A2DP), and then the GPS voice direction (HFP).
If you use the iPhone for phone calls (HFP) *and* music (A2DP), then you can only connect one other device, a GPS (HFP). As in case 2.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Dean

That clears it up for me. Only one Stereo music device and two other mono devices.

Thanks! That clears that up.
I wonder why a GPS is considered a HFP device?
But the way around that is you plug the GPS via a cable into the AUX of the SM10. The SM10 will then stream any GPS sounds as priority over music. Now this will free up the 2nd HFP device to do so as you please.

So you do this:
1) SM10 connected to BRP Radio via BRP cable or my DIY cable.
2) iPod or MP3 device is hooked to BRP radio via the cable in the trunk of the RT (iPod/MP3 Integration cable).
3) GPS connected to AUX on the SM10
4) Pair helmet 1 to helmet 2 for conferencing.
5) Pair Helmet 1&2 to SM10 for both people hearing music or GPS
6) Pair your phone to helmet 1.
7) Pair a different phone to helmet 2.
8) Optionally you can pair to another HFP device since your using the SM10 for GPS.


This will give you the following:
1) Both helmets will "hear" anything coming from the SM10. That would be music from the BRP radio (includes iPod or MP3 player since that goes into the BRP radio from the integration cable), or GPS sound over-riding music (AUX has a higher priority than BRP radio input at the SM10).
2) Each user can use their own phone BUT cannot hear each others phone.
3) Phone will have priority over SM10 (radio or GPS input from the SM10). Conferencing will have priority over Phone and SM10.

That appears correct to me. But as a warning the order of the pairing and the type of pairing is very important. If for example I pair my smart phone first, it will pair as a music device and a hands free device both.

I would turn the unit off when you are finished riding.....and turn it back on when you are getting ready for the next ride..........that way all functionality will be available as soon as you turn the key.

I need to play with our Sena setup a bit, but we have our phones paired individually to the headsets and also paired for intercom between the 2. We also have the SM10, though I'm not sure it turns on all the time... the dealer said to just leave it on all the time and it will just run out of battery and recharge when the Spyder is running. I have only had music stream a couple of time and that is it. Though it does seem that if I turn Bluetooth off on my phone, then the music will feed. The intercom works whenever we hit the button to activate it and calls come in and override just fine. Just need to get the music thing figured out... the way the book lays it all out, everything should work just fine. I will probably monkey with it this weekend.

Just for info, you can pair only ONE iOS (Apple) BT device to the Sena. I tried pairing my iPad, which I use for navigation, and iPhone, music and calls, and it wouldn't work. The techs at SENA told me this.

On a related issue, my intercom to my wife will not work most of the time. Hers works fine (lucky me, huh?). The music works fine. The cell phone works fine going out. So that rules out the mic. One time I actually had to call her on the cell phone, while she was sitting behind me, to ask her a question. SENA says I should do a reset on my unit and re-pair. Haven't don e it yet because it started working again....then it didn't. Aaaaaggghhh!

That's odd because one of the examples in the users guide shows pairing a Iphone and Ipod at the same time. Maybe it's an Ipad thing. I would try again. Clear the pairings and make sure you pair pair the IPhone first because you want it to be your music device.

just installed SM-10 today

just installed sm-10 and paired to smh-10 headsets. Little confusing getting sm-10 paired but it is sending radio as advertised. No GPS yet but SM-10 designed for that too. SMH-10 headsets handles audio from SM-10, intercom and phones, great system.
