Despite being BT 4.0 and in stereo, the PacTalk will not work for audio input. Sena has this restriction on their Freewire and Harley has a restriction on the WHIM. You need a Sena headset that is at least BT 4.0 and then the voice commands and CB should work.
These OEM's make it difficult to use other brands. Harley and the WHIM, you can connect a non-harley but you can't use voice commands and your output is MONO. Freewire works on any headset and in stereo but you have to have the Sena to use the microphone.

Yah...I kinda figured that. Not a huge deal but there's a few guys I ride with that still are using CB...but that's getting less & less each year (couple times). I keep one helmet set-up with the wired headset so that's what I use when I know I'll be out with them. Hopefully soon they'll see the merits of the PackTalk & mesh communication.

Thanks! I was able to confirm what you said and even found a video of a guy doing exactly that. I'm so relieved!

The only problem you'll encounter is that while the PacTalk is connected to the WHIM you will not be able to use Mesh technology, and you'll get monaural sound, not stereo from the H-D Boom. The only way around that is to either go with the H-D branded Sena headsets or pull out the WHIM, connect a SENA Freewire, and then use a SENA headset. (And no, the PacTalk isn't compatible with the Freewire)

I want to hear my music with my headset. Not from the fairing. The whim integrates all that with a proprietary headset
having a cardo headset you are able to pair with multiple devices
As a respectable rider, I dont like people hearing my music. Being able to scroll through music via handlebar controls and utilize Siri and Nav on the phone is a plus. You can also still have the Harley nav on also.
Im assuming the Apple jumper and the wireless CarPlay adapter will be able to be utilized as long as you connect in the order as the YT videos states.
