Radio question
Has any one heard of a Bluetooth add on for the 1200RT radio that would allow use of the Bluetooth helms?

Re: Radio question
If you have the factory BMW radio the bluetooth is already built in. I guess I should say it is on my 2016 RT, I can't speak for older models. What year is your bike?pencile wrote: Has any one heard of a Bluetooth add on for the 1200RT radio that would allow use of the Bluetooth helms?

Re: Radio question
In the audio menu, you can turn the speakers on/off, when they are off, the bluetooth is active. There are also menu options in the audio section for pairing your bike audio with helmet1/helmet2. There is a definite sequence you need to follow, especially if you have the Nav and want to also pair your phone so that it's all integrated.pencile wrote: do you have a menu setting that turns the Bluetooth on?
There was a radio manual that came with my bike that documents the process, but also dozens of youtube videos out there too.

Re: Radio question
This video is referring to a Sena headset, but the same process applies to others. Just slightly different about how you start the pairing process on your particular kit.

Re: Radio question
Great, glad it's working! This forum is a wealth of information, and has a lot of very experienced BMW riders (not me!), so be sure to visit often. The search feature works well too, I can find many of my answers are already out there.pencile wrote: That video did it!! my SENA paired up...took a bit to find it, but it did and its working great!!

Don't get upset if you cannot get the system to pair with Helmet 2. You will always gat a message (not possible). You can only connect two helmets directly to the radio if you have BMW headsets.
