Default Infotainment Headset Pairing Problem

I just got a 2014 Street Glide Special with the 6.5GT Infotainment system.
It has a Bluetooth functionality and you are supposed to be able to pair with multiple Bluetooth devices.
I can pair with my iphone, but I'm unsuccessful in pairing with Bluetooth headsets. First I tried an Interphone F4. It paired but there is no communication between the two. Next I tried a new SENA SMH10. It won't pair at all.
Has anyone had any experience in this area?

No experience here. Pairing with bluetooth headsets is listed in the P/A catalog but it seems the software isn't ready for it.

Default Bluetooth pairing

I have also not been able to pair any bluetooth to my new 2014 Ultra 6.5. I tried Sena and U-Clear I did all the updates on both the 6.5 system and the U-Clear. Nothing works. My phone pairs to the 6.5 and also to the U-clear. But U-clear or Sena won't pair to the bikes 6.5

all you ever wanted to know about infotainment and it specifically states under "MEDIA/BLUETOOTH" that it requires wired headset
