The Boombox has bluetooth for the phone but needs to have a headset attached and not through the speakers as there is no mic anyway. Has anyone set this up and can share what they used. Cheers.

 

Thanks for that.

 

interesting, so if you had the cable and the wired headset you could then listen to your music through the headset ? also has anyone managed to bluetooth from the boom audio to  a scala bluetooth system ? 

 

Seems ridiculous having bluetooth but not being able to connect a wireless headset!

The communications kit is $98.50
The Headset is $ 168.90

The catalogue states “Dealer digital Technician software update is required”

Fitting for the kit would be $280.00 which would include the routing of the cable and programming.

$547.40 to answer my mobile while riding. I will wait until my phone to bluetooth headset dies before I spend the money.

I though about a streetglide because of the media.

Looks like I'll stick my RK.

I recently invested in a Sena 10C, which permitsl answering & making phone calls,voice activation, music from phone, FM radio and filming rides and capturing dickhead tintops.Plus the speakers are pretty good.

The bluetooth on the Sena is 4.1 which is crucial, if the bluetooth is not compatable.

I once had a Nolan N-com headset, that I discovered would only pair with TomTom rider and Gamin GPS.

Cheers

 

looks like the BT on the street glide isn't all its made out to be by the sounds of it eh....no pun intended

This pretty well sums things up and is a repost from another site:

HFP

A2DP

AVRCP

MAP

Immediately I understood why a Bluetooth headset won't work with the 6.5 system.

HFP is hands-free profile; this is for interfacing a cell phone to a hands-free kit in a vehicle.

A2DP is advanced audio distribution profile; this is for streaming audio between a media device and a (vehicle) radio.

AVRCP is for remote control of the radio/media player; it allows a remote device to pause, skip, fast-forward, etc. on music tracks.

MAP is message access profile; it's used to exchange messaging data between a cell phone and a radio. This is typically used in vehicle systems for displaying (or speech to text if supported by software) of SMS messages.

What was NOT listed in the specification was HSP-headset profile. This is why your Bluetooth headset won't work with the 6.5 infotainment system.

As many people with recently manufactured cars have discovered, like Ford Sync users, if you're on speaker phone in your car and you turn your headset on, the headset will grab control the phone from the car. The same thing happens with the new HD audio system with the current firmware.

There are other things HD shared with me on the specification document, like what services within those profiles are supported, but it gets too technical for most people at that point...The only ray of hope Bluetooth headset users have at this point is that there could be a firmware update in the future that adds additional profiles (like HSP).

I wouldn't hold my breath on this one, unless a lot of people put pressure on Harley to get Harmon to write a future firmware update.

Yep senna have released a Br setup with a cable to suit the Harley, I have one on order at the moment, I already have a senna headset.

Bob , this is the thread I was thinking about .
