So many of these BMW car play/phone mirror units are designed around the GS/A with a BMW navigation mount that isn’t nestled in a nacelle that is particular to the RT.
Are there any other fittings in the box? You may be able to get an adapter off EBay that will act as a spacer to move it away from the nacelle.

There was nothing else in the box, but I'm hoping they will come back with something like that or a smaller unit. Everything is through emails so it's a slow process.

I purchased an Ottocast C5 "Clone" recently. I'm trying to use it as the intermediary between my SENA SRL 1 and my Android phone in order to view the C5 screen while using voice commands and taking calls on the SENA while riding.
I cannot seem to get it to work correctly. Below is the Google AI response when I pose the question. There is also a WiFi component of this missing from both this forum thread and the AI response (The C5 creates a WiFi network that can connect to your phone, as one means of providing data for Android Auto). Are you using that, or do you have that turned off? There is also a "Bluetooth Emit" function on the C5. Are you using the Bluetooth setup in the main settings to attach to pair the C5 with both you phone and your Cardo, or are you using the Bluetooth Emit to connect to one of your devices? Can anyone else offer any guidance on this? Thanks in advance! Here's the AI intel"
To take calls and use voice commands with your Ottocast C5, Sena SRL1, and Android phone, you must correctly pair the three devices. The general connection order is: Android Phone \(\rightarrow \) Ottocast C5 \(\rightarrow \) Sena SRL1.
Connection guide
1. Pair your phone to the Ottocast C5 On the Ottocast: Power on the C5. In the settings, select the option for Android Auto.On your Android phone:Ensure both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on.Open your phone's Bluetooth settings and scan for new devices.Select the Ottocast device (the name will begin with "AUTO-" or similar) and follow the on-screen prompts to pair.Once paired, your phone will connect to the Ottocast C5, which will initiate Android Auto on the C5's screen.
2. Pair your Sena SRL1 to the Ottocast C5 Initiate headset pairing on the C5: Navigate the Ottocast C5 menu to find the Bluetooth settings for headset pairing. The specific location may vary, but it is typically found in the sound or connectivity settings.Put your Sena SRL1 into pairing mode:With the SRL1 turned off, press and hold the Center Button for 12 seconds until you hear "Configuration Menu".Tap the (+) Button until the LED flashes alternating red and blue, and you hear "Phone pairing".Complete the pairing on the C5:
Back on the C5's screen, select the Sena SRL1 from the list of available Bluetooth devices to complete the pairing. A prompt may appear on the C5 to confirm the connection.
