Re: Does the GPS/TFT System Accept MyRoute-app Routes?

A lot of what others have said. I bought a used pixel 5 for cheap (my personal phone is an iPhone), no sim just the connected app, MRA and Spotify. My understanding is that the pixel phones being Google devices have the “purest” form of the Android system and have the least connectivity issues. Usin...

Re: TFT and Nav instructions

Latest discovery, if I mute by pressing the Cardo roller wheel for 2 seconds it shuts off my intercom connections but I then hear the Nav instructions fine. Seems like a prioritization issue we’ll see if Cardo can talk me through a solution.

Re: TFT and Nav instructions

[size=15px]As follow up to my recent question. Due to the difficulty I’ve had getting everything to work I bought a dedicated iPhone shortly after getting the bike. It does not have a sim and I have never connected my regular phone to the bike or the Cardo. I only use the dedicated phone for Naviga...

TFT and Nav instructions

[size=15px]I got the TFT update and have 1200 mis so far without a single connection loss (dedicated iPhone X). My problem, I and 3 others I am riding with are using packtalk bold comms. We use the mesh comm system, which are essentially always on. I cannot hear any of the nav directions. I think t...

Re: Gearing up for my last best bike. Strongly considering the RT. What says you?

I had an ‘06RT, then a ‘12 GTL, an ‘18 Grand America, will retire on May 7th and last year bought a ‘21 RT, as my retirement bike that I plan to keep for a long time. It’s good to be back on an RT.

Re: 2021 TFT Connection Issue, help needed.

A few more attempts and now it works. I have no idea why. This seems a great idea that is poorly implemented. Hopefully will work throughout my upcoming trip. Despite some of its clunkiness it just seems so much easier if they would have just put in CarPlay and AA. I assume the route they went was c...

2021 TFT Connection Issue, help needed.

Got the bike, paired my iPhone X got the WiFi icon (square with parallel lines) took a ride, lost the connection in about 10 minutes and have not been able to reconnect. I’ve tried deleting pairings, phone is set to stay unlocked but cannot get it to pair. The BT pairs and the bike recognizes that I...

Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

What I’m thinking is that the cubby phone has the maps downloaded into it and it communicates with the TFT through BT and gets its position through a satellite feed so I don’t need a cell signal, it will not be set up to make or receive calls. My regular phone will communicate to my cardo through BT...

Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

I can’t answer your question...yet, but I’m going to try this when I pick up my bike on in 2 days. I bought a used iPhone that I will keep in the phone compartment with my connected app. I use a Cardo PackTalk Bold and I paired my “regular” phone to it on the second phone pairing. I will use the use...

Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

I’m thinking of getting a used iPhone (that fits with a case), use it as a small computer without the ability to make calls. Just load my moto/travel apps. I never take calls when I’m riding. When I stop I’ll check my “regular” phone and make a call if needed or if I can pair it separately to my Pac...

Re: TFT and General stuff on the 21 R1250RT

My understanding is that the early USA bikes will not come with speakers as the radio is not available. The radio option which was part of the premium package disappeared when they removed the premium package due to the chip issue. My goal is to turn that space into storage. Once my bike arrives I’l...
