Default CarPlay and cardo issue

I’m the owner of RG cvo ST 2024
I’m using Harley branded Cardo packtalk edge
what is the problem
first Is I cannot activate wireless CarPlay ( Cardo and the bike have latest software )
and the main problem - I have terrible quality of the voice transmission
I connect headset to bike and phone to bike
first is thought that is Cardo problem
but when is use it without bike connection it work just fine
maybe someone has same problems ?

I just got a 25 RG and was having the same problem. If I remove the Cardo from the phone and only connect to the bike it works fine.

I can’t explain it, I only know it works and works consistently. Sometimes I can get it to work having everything synced together but it doesn’t last long,

Have you adjusted the CarPlay settings in the iPhone? That worked for me,

Voice transmission sounds like I am talking in a full face helmet, because I am. Someone said it sounded like Darth Vader, but clear enough to hold a conversation. I have not set up the half helmet yet.

Settings / General / CarPlay / My Cars select H-D Ride -5822
I think the wireless connect option only showed up once. You can still use the USB if you choose to.


There are also Cardo Connect App settings, but that is only for connecting directly from the phone to the Cardo.

https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/connect-to-carplay-iph6860e6b53/iosConnect iPhone to CarPlay

Set up CarPlay by connecting your iPhone and your vehicle using your vehicle’s USB port or its wireless capability.
  1. Start your car, then make sure Siri is on.
  2. Connect your iPhone to your car:
    • If your car supports CarPlay with a USB cable: Plug your iPhone into the USB port in your car. The USB port might be labeled with a CarPlay icon or a smartphone icon. Be sure to use an Apple USB Cable.
    • If your car supports CarPlay both wirelessly and with a USB cable: Plug your iPhone into the USB port in your car. The next time you attempt to connect your iPhone to CarPlay, an alert on your iPhone allows you to connect wirelessly.
    • If your car supports only wireless CarPlay: Press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel. Make sure that your stereo is in wireless or Bluetooth mode. Then on your iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and make sure that Wi-Fi is also turned on. Tap the CarPlay network, and check that Auto-Join is turned on. Then, go to Settings > General > CarPlay, and select your car. Check your car manual for more information.
Note: After connecting to CarPlay on some electric vehicles, use the Maps app to identify the vehicle for EV routing. See Set up electric vehicle routing in Maps on iPhone.

On some vehicle models, CarPlay Home appears automatically when you connect iPhone.

If CarPlay Home doesn’t appear, select the CarPlay logo on your vehicle’s display.
