Pause

Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

Pause

on bikes equipped with the audio system,  when listening to music via a MP3 player/iPod/stick etc..  Is it possible to pause the song?

ooohh - that's a good question.


If I wasn't tucked up in bed, I'd be straight into the garage to check...

Not 100% sure, but guessing no.  Rotating the wonder-wheel is volume up/down and pressing in/out is next song/previous song.  I can't imagine what gesture would indicate pause/play.

What happens if you push the SRC button though - doesn't that have the effect of pausing the track?


Not at home, so can't check...

I just tested it on my 2016 RT with music playing from a USB stick, I stand by my original guess that it's not possible.


Wonderwheel - Volume up/down and Track next/previous
On button - Mutes/Un-mutes the sound
SRC button - Changes between FM/Sat/Aux/USB
MODE button - Opens a menu that allows you to display Artist/Genre/Song/Playlist, etc..
MEM button - Does nothing

but what happens when you put mode to (say) aux ten switch back to USB?  Was the track on the usb paused or not?

Not sure on that, I will test it and report back later.

The answer is yes, as it does when it's muted for GPS prompts and the phone.
