I’ve moved on to a new bike, but I don’t think you would want to. Better to pair the phone to the bike and to your airpods

Not if you pre download the area to your downloaded maps

No apple carplay on 2021 and 2022. I'm not sure about newer models

the protected part is always positive. So follow you lead from the battery. connect your adaptor, and the protected portion of the SAE will be your positive, while the bare metal portion will be your ground.

@@robertbaker2964 Thank you so much my friend, It’s been very helpful for me, Finally i got it to work properly by using this Gerbin adapter and your advises.

Somehow I never received this message. But yes you can connect a headset without a phone.

Any chance it’s in a custom ride mode when that happens? It could be locked out in the custom ride mode

I believe I heard some folks were having this issue. Have you tried downloading the maps onto your phone in the Harley app?

@@usamedic I’ve tried multiple times. Still didn’t work.

I have been looking for a CZcams video of seeing the Harley app on the bike’s TFT screen. I saw one where a guy in England (I think) used it with just two waypoints; start and finish. I would like to see one with many waypoints on the TFT. That would be typical for rides my HOG chapter usually do.

@@n228sk I gave up on the Harley app and got a Garmin Zumo XT. No problems or headaches and it works every time!

You could use it to power them. But I think I would wire them direct to the battery, with a relay that is triggered from a switch.

@@usamedic so the kit comes with a wire harness that includes a relay and switch. I was hoping that I could use that SAE adapter in place of going to the battery directly. This way, there’s no way I could accidentally leave them on. I’ve never wired anything like fog lights to a bike so I was just looking for thee easiest way.

@@URBANAMERICANTAC it would work for sure. Maybe a better plan would be to wire in a small fuse block off that hot lead so you could then add other things later like additional lights, bigger and better horn, gps, and other goodies

@@usamedic awesome. Thanks for the advice.

Worked out awesome. I was able to run my S2’s and used the Baja designs wiring harness. The Gerbing SAE adapter worked great with an SEA plug and red and black wire. Obviously I had to reverse the red and black for the correct positive and negative but that was easy. I just used shrink wrap to change the black to red and the red to black. Couldn’t be happier and when it’s all said and done, I can remove the entire set up in 15 minutes.

thanks!. THe bike was brand new and there was little help from dealers at the time. After 1.4 million miles on bikes I've learned a few useful tricks . :)

Try holding different buttons till you here phone pairing. That will be your phone button, this will then pair the sena to your bike, even though it says phone

@@usamedic helmet says pairing and PA is spinning to connect but never does, don't know. PA says phone is connected (in blue) and my samsung note 9 says I'm connected to both, but from your video maybe that's the issue. It won't let me control phone from handle bar or when I set a trip up on HD app it shows pointer and route road but no background.. strange

@@BGPD70 when you say your Samsung is connected to both? Do you mean the Samsung is connected to the PA and the sena????? That would not be the way it works. You will need to connect the sena to Harley, and the Harley to the phone. I hope I sm understanding you right.

@@robertbaker2964 ok I'll delete both from BT on phone and delete phone from PA start over and try that, thank's

@@robertbaker2964 Thank you Robert and all that replied. I disconnected/unpaired all three devices and turned off bluetooth on phone , paired just helmet to pan America and confirmed blue letters then turned helmet off. Turned on bluetooth on phone and paired it with pan America and confirmed. Everything is working perfectly now , and most importantly I did not have to buy the expensive Winn system Harley Davidson is pushing to get things working. Thank's again everyone.

Standard sena, and all the controls work

@@usamedic thanks

Still waiting for touratech one to be available

They were not available a year ago when I posted this either

@@usamedic I see, makes sense

@@usamedic you want the locking feature then since those look a bit over engineered.

Agree with you 100%. like I said though I wanted the Special, and I just did not need the ride height adjustment. After riding the bike quite a bit I decided I do like the ride height on auto. the only thing that I don't like about it is when you stop and put the side stand down you have to rock the bike a little to the right to get it down. After riding it a month or so you get used to it.

Cardo SRC pairs with nothing, same problem with my GS !

That’s strange. If all pieces worked independently, they should work together. I have seen a few pieces not get pushed all the way together but I’m sure you checked for that. And of course the cig plug adaptors sometimes don’t make good connections

I would make use of the two heated gear wires under seat. Keep one for heated gear and use a coax to sae adaptor to then power either your tank bag or gps and radar or other accessories by running that wire under your tank and to the position you want. You will have no splices in factory wiring thus Harley can void your warranty and it’s pretty easy to do

Sorry been sick with covid. It’s very simple. You hold down the left hand button for the display features. I’ll go downstairs and confirm which button in a bit. It will change from black to white

Well they collapse down to really narrow. And they are much narrower than the hard panniers. Also you don’t need the hard bag mounts to use, and I got up to 130mph without issue. Lastly they weigh almost nothing empty as opposed to my hard panniers

I was up late at work so here are the links to RKA luggage

Yea it is! But I dislike the Harley bag. And I’ve done it the other way for years and never had a problem. Fortunately, because I have the Harley bag, and it’s hardware, and a sewing machine, I modified the H-D straps to work for both my bags.

@@usamedic how do you like the tank bag, does it block the info screen? I have a PanAm and want something till I get the Panniers

@@cfreeway8385 Honestly, I’m not a big fan of the Harley in Davidson Pan America Tank bag. I have pretty much removed it in favor of an hour RKA in charge tank bag

No. But normally it’s just two flat straps. I have a baseplate for my seat bag there as well

Shiloh roads both work, but I prefer the smaller one

i have been told my bags will be in soon, but no racks till septemberish.

The Harley bag is sleek! But the RKA bag is so much more functional for me. With the FPS on top and the ability to keep my phone and cameras charged. And just enough room for a full size Glock sitting crossways

@@usamedic I agree the RK bag is very functional. Also, I carry my Sig in my inside chest pocket. :)

Agree! My thought it they will change this with future upgrades

True, but there’s no need with the two power points under the seat as they are ready to go. And with the bag being hot and having the ability to charge gps, phones, cameras, etc, I’m set for longer trips or charging multiple devices.

Yea, pair your phone to the Harley, and then pair your Carda to it as well

Cardio will pair to the bike

@@usamedic yes I got mine to pair. But it really was not a good connection? Every time I turned my head it would cut out?

@@klh3244 I noticed this with my 10s sena, but not at all with my 50s
