Just purchased a Nav V1 but I can’t get everything connected. The toggle is also not working. Help much appreciated.
 
Welcome to the club. Lots of posts in the “I can’t hear anything” section.

I have a similar setup to you, Nav 6, Sena 50R, iPhone 11s Max. if you delete all previous related connections on the phone, and TFT. Assuming the NAV has never had a connection, if it has clear that too. Then:
1. Pair the phone to the TFT
2. Pair the headset (Helmet)to the TFT
3. Pair phone to Nav
4. Pair Headset to Nav, I used the GPS pairing mode, rather than second phone, although I think that works too.

Now it should work.

BTW, What's the "toggle" ? do you mean the wheel on the LH grip? Did the "toggle" work with the TFT?

That will work perfectly just some finer points: on the Nav 6 in the settings ensure phone is NOT ticked also if you are not using Nav media untick that also.

Ensure you turn Sena on first before the Bike that is crucial, lastly phone needs to be close to TFT I find a quad lock works perfectly, if you use BMW connected app ensure accessibility is on always,

There is FB thread “ BMW TFT connectivity with excellent link to a vid

Good luck

Sorry only put toggle as some others said that, but yes it’s the wheel. Yes it did with the TFT.
 
To use the wheel with the nav you have to move up on the button, then back to TFT with the down button. The wheel won’t work for volume. It got me too when I first got the bike.

By Toggle, does that mean that when you rotate and click the Left Handlebar Wonderwheel, there is no response on the GPS?

In that case, pardon me for asking a silly question, but did you remember to select TFT by pushing the top Menu button on the LH H-bar for 1 second, which then show the small Nav symbol in the top left corner on the TFT? (Not very well described in the riders manual p109)

This is becoming a habit of yours. Is that not wha I said?

When I started to write the reply, the last post was #6. Being the day it is, some domestic chores disturbed my writing and during the delay there where several replies to the post. I did not refresh the postings while I was writing, as this will wipe out my text.
I guess this then qualifies into the category 'Shit happens'. :aidan
 
no sound when calling

Hi,

I have issues when pairing my phone and 50R to the nav VI in addition to the TFT (BMW 1250 GS).
If i pair only to the TFT, everything is ok but as soon as I pair to the nav (following different pairing sequences, including this one), then there's no more ringtones neither sound when receiving or giving phone calls. I precise that I unticked phone in the Nav. I've tried dozens of procedure but still not working. What let me think that the issue comes from the 50R is that when I do the same with another Sena SRL, it works properly.
Any advice ?

Many thanks
 
Do you have any riding buddies that have Packtalk and Samsung phones to try pairing up on your bike ? Seems like Sena, I phone and BMW TFT don't get on very well. Just sayin.

That’s not quite true have used all this for the last three years, now with SRL, IPhone 12 and Nav 6 if connected properly and started with recommended procedure all works pretty well. Media on SD card on the Nav if needed, I tunes playlists on Iphone to stream and live radio streaming.

I had exactly the same issue.

I've found that there's an issue with he latest SENA 50r/s firmware 1.0.8. I went back to 1.0.6. I was onto SENA about it but they seem a bit reluctant to admit it's the firmware. But it works now.

Be careful when charging it, if you used the wifi adapter it'll automatically update to the latest.
 
I bought a Sena 50s a week ago,

unwrapped fitted and nothing :(


Wouldn't respond to anything -


I Couldn't roll back the firmware, as it didn't give me the option ..

Internet search revealed lots of problems with it


Boxed up returned & refunded the next day

Wired comms , better connections and clarity . never got on with the Bluethooth thing , pain in the butt , tried Senna and Cardo both as bad as each other. Back to Auto Comm now.
 
Maybe try Cardo Packtalk Bold as a replacement unless your in a riding group that are all Sena, much better in my humble opinion.

Need a bloody long wire from my bike to my wifes bike. We both have Cardos that also speak to both bikes TFTs, how would you do that with a wire?
