I constantly loose my bluetooth connection although it re-connects within a few seconds, bloody annoying if you are just on a major junction!

If you are using an autocom unit with the bluetooth adapter check that the bluetooth unit is secure and not jiggling about !

Mine did and i kept losing sound

I am using Autocom as you describe, the autocom box is reasonably secure the bluetooth box is just sitting under the seat so I will have a look at securing it better:blast Must admit sometimes it's much worse than others, could be down to how smooth the road is.

On the point about bluetooth - you can also wire it direct to a poer source instead of the jackplug from the autocom - the autocom bluetooth power output is prone to bad connections.
 
Well I'm trying to give bluetooth a good go ditched autocom and trying this set up

New Shoei Neotec Helmet fitted with Sena 10u headset
New Sena SR10 Bluetooth adaptor
Used Kenwood PMR radio running with battery iliminator.
New delsdeals PTT Button
BMW Nav V Gps
Iphone 6+ phone

My issues are after a very clean and tidy install of the Sena 10u headset (no wires from helmet) love the idea nothing to plug into bike unlike Autocom.
I then fitted again a real clean tidy PTT button and wire through to rear of bike 2016 GSA.
then again a very tidy install of the Kenwood PMR an the New Sena SR10 Bluetooth module.

Here i show it is set up..
Sena SR10 module connected to power direct from battery through a Autocom inline power noise filter, then PTT plugged into Kenwood and power direct ,
The pairing is like this
SR10 bluetooth module paired as selective phone pairing direct to Sena 10u headset in Neotec helmet.
BMW Nav V paired up with 10u headset
Iphone paired (Phone only) not media with Nav V

all works great apart from it keeps dropping connections? so frustrating its something to do with PMR I think? so I turned off the iPhone Turn off the NAV V and checked the connections on everything PMR eliminator antenna etc everything OK.
Then i turned on the helmet and started the bike (after resetting the Sena SR10 it pared and when i push the PTT i hear whit noise and the red light on the PMR comes on.So its safe to say its working then i started agin this time included the Nav V its shouted device connected :-) set off a
route and i hear the Driving directions info. All good if i press the + button 1 second on the Sena 10U headset it starts to play music from my NAV V all good Whilst music playing i press the PTT it cuts out the music and again I hear white noise. All good then Then i play music and let the NAV V talk again it cuts off the music whilst giving directions again all good!

So I think why when i have tested it of the last two Saturday rides has it disconnected or stopped working ? as it all did yesterday again something to do with the Kenwood PMR and the Sena SR10 module.I then remembered whist riding you get this voice saying "CLICK" and it keeps saying it as if when your on the gas its cutting out the module to the PMR??????? So I donned my helmet turned everything on awaiting the voice that says "device connected (thats the NAV V) the it says "phone connected (Thats the SR10 Module)then i try everything agin this time whilst wearing the helmet i raved the GSA drum drum drum! and the voice comes on saying "Click" "Click" when on the gas and temporally cuts off the PMR and Im not sure bit i think it disconnected my Headset one time?

ANY IDEAS!!!!
I really like the neat Sena 10u headset in the Neotec its great with GSA keyless e.g. you just gas up ( no fumbling with key to open gas lid) you go pay and no unplugging on bike get back to bike no plugging in Just hop on and off! But if it don't work with my PMR I'm OUT!
 
Sounds like your doing every thing right with the Sena set up ...only query is why are you using a different ptt ? Delsdeal ??? The Sena PTT works great . I think the connector on the Sena ptt is a 4 pole on the jack , so if your using aThree pole , your issues might lie here. Try the Sena one to eliminate that issue

I'm using the Sena PTT cable just spliced it into my own PTT it's a better fit under the iwheel

I had my Autocom set-up installed by Sam Wray at Chainspeed. Straight away he chopped off the power connector to the hub and wired the BTM-02A directly to the switched power source (an Autocom switched relay). All the 3.5mm jack plugs were cable-tied around the hub to stop them rotating in their sockets.
