When I get home from work at noon, I plan to go through this again. Tom's steps got me paired, but now, for some reason, even after the Sena's voice says "media found" and the RT bluetooth icon is flashing away, I get no audio (and I did originally) Arrrrggggggg!!!!!
I've already changed that checklist.....changed 14 to read:
"14. Turn on the Sena SMH10 headset
then turn on the RT ignition and its Audio System unless you just completed step 13. Verify Bluetooth is selected (see step 8)."
I did that because I re-read the above and see where Tom or someone suggested the Sena should be ON before other devices are.
Also....in the last hour I unpacked my Sena SMH10 headset and charged it for a couple of hours. It is not installed in my helmet yet (see how optimistic -I- am!).
I first connected to my GPS a BMW Nav III circa 2006 that is BT equipped. I used these procedures which worked well, no issues at all....although I might have mis-written the talking Ms Sena does:
1. Turn on the Sena headset and press the Jog Dial for 5 seconds. See red light flash and hear “Intercom pairing.”
2. Within 2 second, tap the Phone Button. Says “Multipoint Pairing” and two beeps.
3. Turn on the Nav III GPS and search for Bluetooth devices. Select Sena SMH10 on the list. Will hear set of beeps then “Your headset is paired; Media connected, Phone connected”.
I played around with the GPS, selecting routes and whatever just to hear the Sena speak. Fine. One issue - I cannot control the volume on the GPS; but must with the Jog Dial on the Sena.....not sure how that will work since I always plan to listen to music from the BMW audio system AND use the GPS together. Have to try that when I get access to the RT. For now, I am pleased with the GPS to Sena sound at least.
Then I decided to connect to my cell phone. Keep in mind this seems to be backwards from what the Sena manual and their online videos say. No idea why. Anyway, these procedures worked fine:
1. Turn on the Sena headset and press the Phone Button for 5 seconds. until the LED
flashes red and blue alternately and you hear multiple beeps.. “Hear phone pairing”.
2. Turn on the cell phone Search for Bluetooth devices on your mobile phone. Then select the Sena SMH10 in the list. At some point select to be paired as Handsfree Profile. (note - this was not a selectable option during MY setup on a Pantech Ease cell phone. It apparently did that audomatically in the background)
3. On the cell phone enter 0000 as the PIN. Hear lots of 3 beep groups. Heat a double beep group when it's completed pairing, and says “Your headset is paired”. It's ready to use at this point.
I then tested it by callled my cell using my house phone - all appeared to work fine. In the Sena I could hear the phone ringing, anser it, speak, etc. But when I disconnected from the phone call, the GPS voice wasn't coming through anymore. So, I turned everything off, deleted the Pairing Information using the directions in Tom's post, and started over....this time I paired the phone first, then the GPS. After that things worked like they should.....then I played like I was parking the RT.....Left the cell phone on, turned off the GPS, then turned off the Sena.
Then after 10 minutes, I played like I was getting ready to ride.... I turned on the Sena.....it said "phone connected".....I turned on the GPS.....maybe 10 seconds later it said "device connected". It just takes quite a while for the Sena to say "GPS connected" apparently because my GPS is just slow to connect. So it may make no difference when the Sena/GPS is turned on. Which is good, right?
