I do it all the time on my K16.
If the GPS is out of the cradle, you will get an error.
Make sure your GPS is paired properly.
1) Clear all pairings
2) Pair bike to helmet.
3) Pair GPS to helmet. Navigate to the media player and enjoy your music.
4) Pair GPS to phone if you want to take and place calls.
Hope this helps.

When I do that I get error on nav 6 saying to use radio?
When you try to access the medial player if the GPS is out of the cradle.
I may be misunderstanding and the Nav V may operate differently, but with the Nav V I believe the media player is disabled when in the cradle on K16GT. You have to put your media on usb stick and use bike to play it.When I do that I get error on nav 6 saying to use radio?
Isn't technology wonderful. I am astounded at the number of similar problems I read about. We need to get back to the basics in our riding IMHO. Of course, YMMV.

The latest firmware update from Garmin finally allows us to stream our own music to the Sena via the Media Player app in the Nav VI. The previous update allowed us to stream from our phone thru the Nav VI to the Sena. I personally don’t want another device to manage (phone) and I just do not like anything about the BMW audio system. Using the Nav VI for navigation guidance, telephone and media just simplifies my life. As an added benefit the audio quality is much better as well.
Assuming that you have the latest firmware versions installed in both the Nav VI and the Sena 20s:
Remove the Nav VI from the cradle and turn it on. Turn on your Sena 20s and allow it to pair with the Nav VI. Open the Media Player App. On the left margin at the top there is a symbol that looks like two plugs. Pressing that symbol brings you to the page that allows you to select a music source for the Media Player. Select MP3. You must SAVE this selection before exiting the Media Player. Navigate out of the app and turn off the Nav VI and the Sena. Put the Nav VI back in the cradle.
The next time you turn it all on and start the media player it should access the music on your SD card and allow you to control it like any other media device. You’ll even have album art. This is what worked for me and I am really challenged when it comes to this stuff. I hope this is of some help to you. If it is not, it is because I have not explained it well enough. Rest assured you can use your Nav VI to stream your personal music and audio books thru the Media Player to your Sena 20s.....you just have to find the right guy to show you how to do it!
Good luck with it. BTW, welcome to the MOA. It’s a great organization.
Thanks for all the help!! I got it to work!
I’m just happy that my explanation was understandable enough to help you resolve the issue. Enjoy the music!

jerry all is almost perfect now. one little hitch. Everytime I start the bike back up I have to restart the music on the nav vi. I selected to automatically start music on bootup but no luck?
does this work for you?
I’ve not tried that option with the media player. I know that option worked when I used to stream music from my iPhone. I eventually turned it off as I don’t always want music.
Tomorrow I will reset my Nav VI to see if my system can do what you describe and get back to you. Maybe others can chime in with an answer?

I have a Nav V and a Sena 10U in my Schuberth. I have not been able to stream music from the bike to my headset because my headset will not pair with the bike for some reason. On my GS with no bike based Bluetooth all I had to do was
1. pair the Nav 5 to the headset as phone 1,
2. pair the phone to the Nav 5,
3. pair the phone to the headset as secondary phone
and I could
1. get directions to headset from the Nav 5
2. stream music from the Nav 5 to the headset
3. stream music from the phone to the headset
Life was wonderful
Now with this 2013 GT that configuration will not work as it tells me to use the bikes radio.
So, I unpaired everything.
The headset will not pair to the GT's BT at all, even after a factory reset, but it will pair to the Nav 5 and I can use the media player in the cradle.
There's no symbol in the media player showing the connection type.
The GT's aux and a stick in the USB play through the speakers and a little BT icon appears with a flashing dot next to it - what does this mean?
Does anyone have knowledge of what could be the BT - Sena problem?
The headset and Nav 5 are all latest firmware.
P.S. The bike came with no manual and I haven't found a working link to downlaod one at yet...
