Hey guys, it me again. I posted about getting either a '15 or a '16 RT. I'm comfortable with the decisions of which hardware to purchase with this RT, but I'm holding off until I'm confident about how I'm going to get my gadgets to connect to the new Beemer so I can make full use of the bike. So here's a few questions I need your collective help with.
I'm currently using an Autocom (now don't laugh) on my current RT to connect the Radar Detector, Garmin GPS, Ipod, together. I bluetooth the Iphone to the Garmin, and I have music stored on the Garmin, so whatever goes through the Garmin gets to my ears. I also always use ear buds with speakers built in, and not the helmet speakers.
The new RT will have bluetooth wireless functionality built in, and to get the most out of it, I'm thinking of getting a Shuberth helmet with the add-on bluetooth connectivity. Expensive yes.
1. Do any of you use this helmet to connect your stuff to the RT? If so, are you missing any functionality from the bike?
2. How do I use ear buds with this set up?
3. I also read on this forum that one of you used a 4.0 bluetooth transmitter to bypass the RT's 2.0 bluetooth software, so the XM radio output is greatly improved. What does that require?
4. Can I connect everything with bluetooth, including the RD, phone, GPS, and iPOD?
Appreciate your ideas.
John
