Replacement for Boombox GT unit
I'm in the UK and we dont tend to ride our bikes with music etc coming through the fairing speakers. On my 2017 Ultra Limited it is fitted with the stock Boombox 6.5 unit. When i ride, I use the Sena Freewire connected to the bikes intercom socket, which is then Bluetooth connected to my Schuberth helmet headphones. I connect my Samsung S20 'phone via Bluetooth to the bike's Boombox unit, which enables me to set volume, switch Spotify music tracks etc using the handlebar controls and it all works fine and listen to music, radio etc. The only problem is that the Boombox satnav is pants and so I'd like to swap out the Boombox 6.5 unit for the Soundstream HDHU.14 system with the handlebar control module and then use Android Auto for Google Maps, Waze etc on the head unit. Does anyone know how I can still retain my Bluetooth headphones for music, calls whilst using Android Auto on the Soundstream either with or without the Freewire?

*since that post the newer Si model has better in Android Auto/Car Play thumb controls, but I'm yet to actually play with one.
