Default Apple Carplay Question

Hello,

I recently added the Amazon CarPlay adapter for my 2022 FLHX, and CarPlay now works when my phone is connected to the bike. I do NOT have a WHIM.

I have a question - I seem to be stuck having audio through the bikes stereo system, although my microphone in my helmet works (non-Harley branded Sena). Is there a way to be able to hear the music in my helmet with carplay going? The Harley Nav sucks and I'd like to use Google Maps...

Thanks

that's what the WHIM does, allows you to link everything through the bike, works great too.

Not sure if you've figured it out yet or not?

I have a Cardo PackTalk, not a Sena, but I suspect it should work the same for you. I stream Spotify and can choose between the bike speakers or my helmet speakers.
Since you're using CarPlay, I assume your music is on your iPhone or streamed using it. When your music is playing, on your iPhone go to AirPlay and then choose where you want the music routed to.
In the pic below, my PackTalk is checked so music to my helmet. If I want it route to the bike, then I choose CarPlay. If you don't have the CarPlay adapter plugged in, it would say BOOM GTS.

This works great with a Scalarider G9 using Apple Carplay on a 6.5 Boom GTS stereo. Thank you !
