Bluetooth Music from Phone to Spyder speakers

[trikerbiker645]

Do people really use their factory radio? I run mostly my phone, with sirius app, etc, or Ipod with my old tunes all thru my headset. Works great for me.

I wander how this unit works compared to Sena. Much cheaper than Sena. I am using Sena and it works OK but don't get real good volume and speakers are not real good.

I've never used a Sena but for me the other unit works great. Sounds is fine, controls are easy, battery lasts a VERY long time. The biggest difference between it an a SENA is.......it only allows one other communication unit to connect to it. So, you can only talk to one person other than a whole group. Fine for me because I only ride with 1 other person.

Yes.
If you listen to a "local" station, you usually get news, weather and bad trafffic events mixed in.

And if you are out of town, you might even hear a commercial for a good place to eat. :thumbup:

For a 2016, you do not need an ipod in the trunk. Just put your music on an inexpensive thumb drive and plug it in and leave it there. All will be available on the screen with full playback controls.

I've tried this with no luck! How did you do it?

@jcthorne is still around, so you MIGHT get an answer here, but you really should check the date of any thread &/or the posts in it before you reply with a question.

This thread started in 2017, and jc's post is from 2018...

Thumb drive formatted as Fat32 and copy your mp3 files over to it. 2015 thru 2018 Spyders with built in stereos will read and play the mp3 files from the thumb drive. The newer BRP Connect systems deleted this feature and older ones required an ipod.

Well I must be missing something! I can't seem to make it work!

I have a 2023 RT S2S and after pairing my android phone to the RT, I just select Bluetooth for my music
