I have been using my Zumo 665 for Navigation and XM radio without issue for a couple of years. I recently paired to my iPhone with the bluetooth and I should able to make and receive calls, but it doesn't seem to work. I can place the call and receive the call, but no one can hear or understand me talking. I'm using my Harley headset which works fine for everything else (Music, Navigation Audio, CB, Intercom). Anybody have this working properly?

I know somebody is going to make a wise crack about why would I want to use the phone on a bike. The answer is simple. When I ride long distance with some of my buddies. Some guys don't have CB's, but they have Blue Tooth on the helmets. So, if it's necessary to communicate, I can use the CB with those who have it and mobile phone with those who only have Bluetooth.

 

It gets down to there is no microphone input going to the Zumo.

 

Using a Sena blue tooth headset you can buy these 2 things and be able to hear everything but not talk on CB. You can talk on the phone also. You plug the Harley adapter into the bikes headset connector, plug the FM transmitter into the Harley adapter. Pair your phone to your zumo and pair it to the Sena. Set the Sena at the same station as the fm transmitter. All directions from Zumo, XM,AM/FM/WB/CB and AUX will go to Harley adapter to the fm transmitter to the Sena. We are using Sena 20s with the fm ability. Cannot talk on CB but can listen. This would work on any Harley bike with a headset connector.

So, I won't be able to talk on the CB at all? I really need that capability as well.

 

I cannot speak to CB as I do not do that with my setup.

The Sena SMHl-10 headset pairs very nicely to the Zumo 665 and the iPhone 6+. That is my setup and it works great.

 

No so far there is not a way to get a sena headset to talk with CB
