Boom 4.3 Audio and Sena BlueTooth headset
It's been touched on in other posts, but I haven't seen a definitive answer on this. Has anyone with the new 4.3 Stereo unit been able to pair a Sena BT SMH-10 headset with the 4.3. I've played with a 4.3 at the dealer and can pair a IPhone and GPS to the stereo. It recognizes my Sena BT headset but won't pair to the Sena headset to stream to it. Thanks, Al

I have been wondering the same myself Al as I have a Sena also.. Not to hijack your thread but can you tell me when pairing the GPS to the radio , did the music cut out and you could hear the GPS thru the bikes speakers?

From what I gather after reading the different posts here is that it will pair all day long to phones and GPS but will not pair to BT headsets of any brand. It sounds like you'll need the Sena SM10. The Harley radio should pair to the SM10 adaptor and then the SM10 will then pair to your headsets....I think..lol. The adaptor is what I'm looking at to get both our BT headsets to listen to XM radio from Zumo 665 at the same time.

One article (on-line magazine) states: It features the industry’s first voice-command control, meaning with the proper headset and microphone the rider (or passenger) can ask the GPS for directions, make or answer phone calls and select and/or adjust music just by speaking. Conveniently, a rider can also choose to have GPS and phone audio directed into helmet-mounted speakers while his music still pumps from the fairing via the 25 watts per channel audio system.

For $25,000 with a " whiz bang greatest infotainment system in the world", it's pretty disappointing that it can't stream BT, wirelessly, to a headset. I sincerely hope that someone can prove me wrong!

I know when the new BMW came out with bluetooth it wouldnt stream to the Sena or any other brand, only the BMW bluetooth worked. I think it does work now though. Maybe Harley is coming out with one of their own fora zillion dollars....I hope not

I was thinking the same thing. You can buy the Sena SMH5 for under a$100, and the SMH 10 for around $150....stick a HD logo on it...$295!
