The Bluetooth connectivity on the new Goldwing has it's issues and I hope my 10 tips and tricks will help those who are about to throw in the towel.
this video needs to be viewed by all 2018+ Gold Wing owners, you solved the car play puzzle, thank you!
Thank you Elliot. I think I have the Carplay/Bluetooth all sorted out. Every time I encounter an issue, it circles back around to something I point out in the video I am not doing. I was out on a 12 hour 400 miler with a buddy of mine last weekend and the Car Play had issues connecting. I thought about it and sure enough, I had my iPhone/Bluetooth option turned ON.Tuned it off and it connected right up. Seems Honda is making incremental enhancements in each software release and its paying off. I find the Car Play and GPS very enjoyable to use.
Well, after reviewing several CZcams videos about problems with CarPlay, I stumbled on yours. I turned off blue tooth on the iPhone and everything connected without issues, and reconnected after a gas station stop. So many people are having issues with their '18+ Gold Wings and CarPlay. This video needs to be on Honda's website! Thanks Rick!
I wish it was. I’d probably yield more subscribers. Ha!
Thanks for all your videos, Rick! I had fits trying to get CarPlay to start on my 2021 Goldwing. The dealer didn't even know how to do it. Since I watched this video and followed your instructions CarPlay starts every time.
Watching & taking notes!
Great information, I have a Cardo Edge and much of the information here carries over. Thanks!
Thanks Rick, 10 priceless tips that have clarified the issues I was experiencing with connectivity and how to overcome them. You’ve saved me a whole heap of heartache!
Rick, good info. I will give this a try in a few. Had a GoldWing trike couple this weekend on the Back of the Dragon quizzing me on the very problem. Tried my best to explain it to them, hope they find this video.
Back of the Dragon....you lucky man you.!
Yeah, its a very deep subject and definitely not a one size fits all kinda thing. Its much better than when I originally got the wing. Each software update inches it along just a little further than it was prior.
Many Thanks for your valuable instructions 👍👍👍 I have been struggling for quit a while to get this to work properly and contacted both the Honda dealer and the dealer that sold me the helmet and Sena headset, but none were able to fix it. The connection as hub made the difference, and allowed not only CarPlay to work, but fixed the problem with Siri and calling via the phone app in CarPlay. THANKS 🙏
Awesome video
Thank you Rick for all the tips....I have been searching for the last 2 weeks how to fix it.
Thanks Rick, this video solved my problem. It was the ipod/applecar play setting on the bike. Not sure how it got changed but that was the problem.
I have a issue, I have the cardo packtalk to rider 1 on the bike, carplay one usb , a second bluetooth headset to rider 2 on the bike, we can hear music etc in and on the bikes speakers...but have no comms between each other, any tips?
Thank you so much for sharing how to really hook up my bike. I spent several hours pulling my hair out and if Honda would just say that the bike is the hub it would have been so much easier.
Got AC to work but now my rider to passenger intercom doesn't work on my Cardo. Any suggestions. I thought BT had to be on for intercoms but that doesn't seem to help either.
Ok Rick… first my 2019 gl1800 dct: remove any and all previous pairings ( iPhone & Sena 20s).? My goal is to use car play-I want to hear everything in Sena 20s. Now where do I start?….
Have a 2022 DCT Wing and Iphone 12 max. I press the button when someone calls using Apple Car Play but Siri cant hear me. Everything seems to be working fine, meaning Apple Car Play is hooked up. How do you make or receive calls on this bike??? I am aware that the button is on the left handlebar. I can hear the 2 beeps when I press it in my headset but nothing else.. Even when I ask Siri a question about nearest gas station. I see the round thingamajig on my honda screen but nothing else. It wont answer me back.
I have a sena 5S and have issues trying to get enough volume in my helmet, not sure what the issue is. I will be disconnecting the Blue tooth and un-pairing the phone and headset. I have the phone all the way up in volume, the bike set at max which I think is around 30 but still low volume in the helmet. When going through the bike speakers with them at 17 I can hear the radio while on the interstate.
I’m a bit confused. The phone gets data and sound via the cable so why would Bluetooth affect that?
I've searched all over for that 6" cable and Best buy no longer sells it and Amazon doesn't list any. All of theirs are 1' or longer. Any idea's on where else we can check? Great video
Hey Rick - what about a second bike then trying to connect as an intercom? Do they pair to my wing rather than the helmet?
Bonjour j avais pas mal de difficulté pour avoir Apple car play merci j ai enfin compris et réussi un grand bonjour de France (au fait cela fonctionne aussi avec Cardo)
Congratulations, by far the best and most detailed video about Goldwing Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth connectivity.
I have also connected two Sena intercoms for both driver and passenger and the only problem I have is that if I send the sound of the bike speakers to the intercom, only one of them receives it. Any advise or suggestion?
Thanks in advance and best regards from a subscriber in sunny Spain…✌️
Thanks for the video BUT the volume is terrible dude ! TY
Thanks. Some people have issues with the sound being too low. I do not experience low volume with this vid.
Everything works except phone calls. All calls go to phone and not bike. Any idea?
Can you comment on blue 📞icon and 🎵icon when connecting in audio menu? Sometimes 📞turns blue connecting and not 🎵…. Then CarPlay doesn’t work until I reset again.
Those icons simply denote the "available" functions when you connect via Bluetooth.
Rick
Boy am I frustrated! I just bought a 2018 Honda Goldwing. I have the Senna Outrush helmet comm system and I have not been able to load car play on the bike. I have seen CarPlay work. The salesmen that sold me the bike had it working. They told me the reason was the wire I had. I got a new wire that actually charges the phone but I still can’t get it on.
I noticed that my iPhone X was connected to the bike. My helmet was also connected. However, the bike kept telling me that the reason car play wouldn’t set up was that the helmet wasn’t connected.
I hope it's not an issue with the helmet I am looking to get the same one as well hoping to hear better results thank you
Is there anyway you can set up Apple CarPlay and have it play through your speakers instead of your helmet? I’m deaf in one ear and hearing music through speakers in a helmet cuts stereo out and makes it mono. I really need to have it to play through my main speakers.
I spent several hours trying to figure out why sound only came from my speakers and not the headset. Then I Googled it, there is a button on your console. Push it and it switches between the headset and the speakers on the bike. Try that and see if it helps.
I've watched your video several times and has really helped. So I have the unchecked the phone pairing on the Wing and my bluetooth is off on my iphone. I think I have figured it out a dozen times then when I go for a ride with my husband, something goes wrong. I'm hoping tomorrow will be the charm. I have the Sena 50S and the last time we rode, the mike stayed open all the time. Wind noise is a huge problem. I also didn't have the Wing set right either. One question, on the phone, under bluetooth. The Goldwing would only be connected....... when? Still confused.
Hi Kim, ok so as far as the Bluetooth setting. If you are connected the bike via CarPlay OR Android Auto, you are tethered to the bike with a Sync cable so you should never be connected using BT. However, from time to time I forget to disable my BT on my phone and I plug into the bike as I always do and things always go "sideways". I'm not saying that's happening to you. To complicate matters, you have a 50S that has mesh technology. I am not wholly familiar with the settings on a 50 but I know when you come in vicinity of another mesh rider, you will connect. At the end of the day, if your tethered to the bike with a sync cable, the wing should never be connected to your phone under BT settings.
With the Sena systems, its pretty common to perform a reset (soft) and every now and then a hard reset doesn't hurt. Especially after you take a firmware update.
Wind across the mike can cause all sorts of problems but usually between rider to rider communication. In some instances, it can cease GPS commands as the Sena still thinks your speaking when its just wind across the mic.
to remedy this, there are different methods based on your helmet (half helmet, 3/4 helmet, or full face.
in general,
1. Boom mic is best. The stick on mics are pretty lousy
2. If using the boom, make sure its oriented correctly. I think the arrow points towards your mouth but don't quote me on that. Check the documentation.
3. If using a full face, a chin curtain really helps
4. Be sure the mic (if using a boom) is touching your lips.
5. If using a sticky, make sure it is nowhere near a vent.
6. If using a boom, I wrapped mine with a thin piece of foam over the existing "sock" which really cuts wind.
8. Be sure Audio Multitasking is turned ON.
if you still have issues, give me some more info on your setup. Are you and your husband on different bikes, rider, passenger, helmet type, his com brand, yadda.
Thanks so much for your reply. So many youtubers don’t. I have the Goldwing. Hubby on a Harley. I have a 3/4 helmet and his is more of a half. We use the boom mike. He has a huge windshield so I don’t know why wind noise is such a problem. The mike is oriented correctly. We will likely go out tomorrow for a ride and try again. I believe I have everything set correctly now. There was one ride where I think I almost had it. Lol. But music only came on at a stop. Then as soon as we took off, the music stopped and it thought wind noise was talking. I do have a question and I don’t mean to sound dumb, on my phone under the Bluetooth settings I have all the things I connect to, the Sena is there but obviously I don’t want to connect my phone to the Sena since the bike is the hub but why is Goldwing In there. Do you connect your phone to the Goldwing???the lightning cable connects the Goldwing to the phone. Is there an ability to connect the Goldwing to the phone via Bluetooth? Now I’m really confused. I know that most of my problems are operator error but it’s not like there is any literature. Other than people like you trying to help out the confused. 🤪. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks.
If your music kicks back on when stopped, wind is your issue for sure. Try turning on Audio multi tasking and remember, each volume heard through the Sena is stored separately. Your music volume is different than your GPS and com volume. The trick is to only control each volume with the headset and not the bike. I turn my GPS and stereo volume on the bike all the way up and then fine tune it through the headset. A 3/4 or half helmet is hard to keep wind off the mic unless you have a really large sock on it.
The Goldwing can connect to your phone via BT. That’s why it’s showing up in the list as “not connected”. It’s just waiting for you to connect it. Your bike can connect to 3 devices using BT. PHONE, rider and passenger headset. If you want the CarPlay, you need to tether your phone and you loose the BT. Basically you can’t have both.
Also wanted to to add. Try and isolate the issue. I suspect wind either from your headset or your husbands is causing the problem if your communicating with him, and audio multi tasking is not turned on, on your helmet, wind from either his helmet or yours will signal to the Sena that your still in a com session. Go for a spin by yourself and see if you have an issue. Raise the windshield up/down to see if it gets worse or better. You will get it. Just takes time to isolate the problem and tweak it to fix it. Your open face type helmets could be the issue.
@@ridenwithrick3771 Just got back. I finally got all the settings correct. Worked like a charm. But the wind is definitely the issue. Will need to figure a way to correct this. Now I need to try to figure out how to use the Iphone maps correctly. I like that much better than the Goldwing GPS. Thanks Rick!
Volume was too low while u were behind the desk. I could hear u when u were outside with the Wing. Thanks for the info!
thanks for the feedback Paul. Brand new camera I am trying out.
I must be missing the section where you were going to list the 6” cable. Doesn’t appear to be listed?
Here you go Robert.

@@ridenwithrick3771 thank you sir!
Thanks very much for the video, I’ve been having lots of issues with my 2019 set up, this video will help. I have joined MyRoute App do you know how to plan a route on your iPhone and send it to the onboard navigation unit at all? The Honda Trip planner doesn’t seem to work for me as it only seems to recognise USA Postcodes not UK ones which is where I’m living
There is no way to "send" or upload wirelessly to the Goldwing. Any route planned must be uploaded via the USB cable. If your planning a route on your phone, I suspect you would need to use AppleCarPlay or Android Auto to view/navigate the route while on your phone and that's if AppleCarPlay/Android Auto supports it.
I abandoned the Honda Ride Planner a long time ago and opted for REVER. They have a phone app which I don't use. I plan a route on REVER, export it to a thumb drive, and upload it to the bike via the USB port.
I exclusively use the Honda Navigation system. Coupled with REVER as the route planner, the Honda GPS works exceptionally well.
@@ridenwithrick3771
Thanks for the reply, yes I plug my iPhone in via the usb wire in the topbox, so I’m not using wireless transfer to transfer the route.
Using a flash drive is all very well and good until I wish to plan a ride whilst away from home and then I need a system to do this off the bike. I know I can plan via the on board navigation system but I cannot plan that whilst having a coffee in a cafe mid ride or from my hotel room.
I can’t seem to find REVER
Ah. I see what your trying to do. I don’t think it’s possible.
Here is a link to REVER
www.rever.co/
@@ridenwithrick3771 that’s not good, with a separate navigation device it’s easy to plan a route on the fly, unless this is sorted then this is a step backwards.
I did manage to find rever in the end, I’ve joined it but don’t see that it offers more than MyRoute App. I gather MyRoute App are in the process of making their software Apple CarPlay compatible, that should allow me to plan on the fly.
MyRoute and REVER are the same in concept except one glaring difference and that is Honda is now partnered with REVER.
Also, what your trying to do can be accomplished using Google Maps. Check out AmerSheikhs channel. He just did a video on this subject.

Where do you find Apple Car Play settings on your iPhone ??
In referencing an iPhone6 plus its under Settings>General>CarPlay. It may be different for later models. If you ever wonder how you can display different apps in CarPaly, the "customize" section under CarPlay is where you do that.
@@ridenwithrick3771 Found it - Thanks for the help !!!
Anytime and thanks for watching.
Great info Rick. Please get microphone closer to you when recording. Had to crank up volumes to max to hear it
you can actually reconnect Carplay on the fly. just unplug and replug the cable...also, a lot of issues come about by people trying to use non apple cables. nice video
I have been able to re-connect the Apple Car "on the fly" once or twice. That will only occur if the initial connection made was sound to begin with. In my experience though, once its connected, it never disconnects unless the phone overheats or something strange like that or in most instances, your headset disconnects from the bike. In that case, you need to stop the bike to make it right.
And your right, most have issues simply because of the cable they are using. Needs to be Apple Certified. I use an old Apple 6 plus. If I an get it to work, anyone can.
@@ridenwithrick3771 i used freecoms before going to packtalk. theyd disconnect all the time. also, i couldnt get back to music once we started speaking. i would have to unplug the phone. it can get frustrating. luckily the packtalks work. its a great feeling when you fire the bike up after a stop and everything connects
@@geojourneys1147 Its actually pretty slick and a real joy to use once things are sorted. Are their intermittent issues? Sure. But in the end, its really a nice system to use. Sounds like the pactalks are working out for you. Good deal!
Turn you mic volume up Please
Can’t hear you!
No sound
Turn up your volume or check if it’s muted. There is sound.
Could not enjoy because the volume was to low.
Sorry Eason It was a common complaint on some of my earlier videos. I’ve since purchased better microphones.
terrible audio in this video. volume is too low and the presenter's delivery is slow and plodding
