This year's project is a 2013-reg camhead R1200RT with both the BMW audio pack, the wonderwheel and the Nav6 GPS which is of course bluetooth-oriented and which has immediately plunged me into confusion. The more I read here and elsewhere about bluetooth issues the more confused I get
Up until now I have used an Autocom SPA and various Zumos wired-in when toddling along and everything worked well enough. Just to be contrary I'd like to stick with the Autocom and the helmet headsets for use on the RT as I don't want a bluetooth helmet. Faffing around recharging Bluetooth helmet speakers at the end of the day is not what I want..
I've just bought the latest Autocom BTM03 gadget that plugs into the Autocom and which is claimed to be fully compatible with BMW Bluetooth systems, up to and including the TFT bikes. but unfortunately there's no operating guide.
What I would like to do is use the Autocom/BTM03 to
(a) hear the GPS prompts when navigating
(b) hear the radio. Radio 4, of course.
and
(c) listen to MP3 tracks as and when. I gather a microSD card can be plugged into a radio iPod lead adapter (?) to allow the wonderwheel to work here rather than in the Nav6 where it is disabled when the unit is in the mounting cradle (?).
I'm not interested in using a mobile phone on the bike so in theory this should simplify things?
Has anyone got experience of this approach and can they suggest how to pair the RT radio, the Nav6 and the BTM03 and the best sequence to do it?
Thanks in advance
