Have you tested the SENA with the bike ?
It says in the Boom Audio manual that voice control won't work over Bluetooth.
But, if paired to GPS and phone at the same time it might work for hearing phone or audio and GPS instructions. ( ? )
I don't want to be the guinea pig on this.
Please post results of testing with the Boom Audio.

A reply came in from Harman Industries saying they cannot help me because HD has no case file on my issues, that I am supposed to go up the chain via dealership first. So .. starting over right after Thanksgiving since I won't have my laptop all this week.
At least it verifies that Harman Industries built the Boom Audio for HD.

Additionally, the 6.5 system, while capable of pairing with multiple BT devices, can only be actively paired to 1 device at a time. Note, however, that if your BT device supports both HFP & A2DP modes, during the pairing setup, both can be selected (supported phones can be used both as a phone & as a music source).

The 2014 P&A catalog says the 6.5 Boom will pair with BT headsets.
Anybody tried it ?
I am trying to find an intercom solution for the Street Glide Special which has no intercom wiring. The only harness available is rider only. Go figure .....
So .. they want me to upgrade to an Ultra to get rider to passenger communications ?

I did a bit of investigating. Here's what I found: The fairing models w/o a TP have a 6-way connector for 162, while fairing models w/TP have a 16-way connector for 162 (rear audio connector). Radios, however, are the same (both have the same outputs). The functions needed for a passenger headset are routed to the "sealed" 12-way P&A Audio connector in the fairing above the radio. This is probably where the P&A rider headset wiring gets plugged in.
That said, while there currently isn't a P&A harness available for a passenger headset, there is a possibility one of the aftermarket audio suppliers (hey John, what about this?) may build a such a harness if there's a market for it, or you could build your own? Biggest issue will probably be addressing the replication of the (missing) passenger switchgear (volume up & down, PTT) that is recognized by the BCM (Canbus). I think the bike could be reflashed to activate the intercom once hardware is available?
Note - These comments are just me thinking aloud. I may be completely off base...

The SENA BT systems are using BT3. The 6.5 system uses HFP (for phone) or A2DP (for music). These BT modes are not compatible.
Additionally, the 6.5 system, while capable of pairing with multiple BT devices, can only be actively paired to 1 device at a time. Note, however, that if your BT device supports both HFP & A2DP modes, during the pairing setup, both can be selected (supported phones can be used both as a phone & as a music source).

Really?!!! Good to know!!! I know it does use both protocols & you can select either or both when setting up pairing. I set my Galaxy S4 for both, so that must be why I can only actively pair with 1 device (used both protocols on that device, hence nothing else would actively pair once my S4 paired). Thanks for the input!

Acording to this spec page from Sena it should work

Still, for those on the FLHX & FLHXS, having a BT mike will allow them to use the voice commands, even if they can't use the headset speakers?
Seems there's a bunch of HDF users that are contributing pieces to solving this puzzle, even though none of us seems to have all the issues figured out.
Good input!
