New helmet, TFT and pillion set up

Post by Kenr »

Hi All, I recently purchased a Schuberth C5 helmet and the built in Sena SC2 comms system. Took a bit of swearing but I managed to get the helmet to talk to the BMW TFT system and it even controls the whole thing via the wonder wheel. For a wonder.
My Pillion Princess still has a BMW system 7 helmet with the comms system and for the life in me I cannot get the new helmet to pair with her set.
Any and all advice accepted - just worried that connecting to her will cause the TFT connection to drop out.
Thanks in advance

I`m intersted in this topic too.
My 10 years long BMW system 6 comm is asking for another one and I am on the fence wich way to go.
My wife's helmet and BMW comm is still perfect.

Have you tried pairing the BMW helmet to the pillion setting on the bike?
Also is the BMW system a Cardo unit? If it is you're not going to be able to link it to the Sena unit as they are not compatible. Having said that I have heard that it can be done but you need to be seriously geeky and have advanced degrees in electronic trickery to have a chance.
