What did you do to your Spyder today?

[mecsw500]

Preparing for a trip tomorrow, down to Southern Utah, Escalante, and Tory.

Trying to get the iPhone to work on a 2026 S2S though.

I can get Bluetooth working, but as soon as I plug the USB cable in, Bluetooth drops in a few seconds. Playing with infinite iPhone settings, as per everything on the subject I can find, but still no success. I’ve checked the USB-C with my USB tester, the cables are all correct for data and power. Changing cables didn’t do anything differently.

Probably going to give up with CarPlay and just use Apple Maps on the iPhone and let the USB just power the phone. I’ll just couple my Sena SRL2 comms system to the iPhone and not the bike.

Shame there is so much aggravation when my 2017 entertainment system in my SUV just works first time and every time.

Any way, first decent trip on this new Spyder, so let’s hope all goes well and the weather holds out.

Safe travels.

I figured it out. You need a Bat connection from the rider to the bike. And a BT connection from the iPhone to the bike. Then the USB cable to the bike and no BT from the iPhone to the helmet.

Satanic.

A 'bat connection'?? Is that a riddler, or a joker??

Don’t you love auto corEctiun.

After messing with the stupid display system I’ve got bats in my belfry.

I meant Bluetooth, or BT of course.

Lol.

I've now got the dongle from Spyder Extra connected as the driver helmet, with my helmet Sena SLR3 connected to the phone. The phone is NOT Bluetooth connected to the bike… The sequence that works for me is: start helmet; start bike; wait a few seconds; make sure the phone is unlocked; connect the cable to the phone. I have a 10 gig cable (not sure if that really makes a difference).

My Passenger or my wife on the F3 does the same and we talk on Mesh...
