Bluetooth connections - Liteitup - 05-13-2024
How many Bluetooth connections do you have on your bike?
BMW connected ride, smartphone link, communicator,...
Tried to connect all that plus the earthmate ap for my inreach but when I did I lost the smartphone link. Since I was coming back through storms and flash, I deleted the earthmate option. But, I couldn't get phone part of the phone to connect to the TFT when I had the smartlink ap running, despite toggling the phone options off on the smartlink. Music worked through the TFT, so the phone is connected.
Any thoughts, helpful advice? Android phone, Nav 6, 1250 GSA TFT, Packtalk bold.
I'm not especially computer literate, so type real slow

I don't have much info to offer you. Sometimes I have trouble with the Garmin Smarlink showing weather info on my TFT, but I don't think that's what you are asking. I do minimal Bluetooth on the motorcycle, no music, no phone calls. So much for my experience!

You're ahead of me, I didn't know you could see weather on the TFT
I can see weather radar on the Nav V but that can be spotty in the Rockies because cell reception can be spotty.

That's ok, thanks. Not sure what or if I changed anything, but it's working again. I have manually connect the smart link and make sure all the toggles are off. Previously it connected without input from me. First world problems.

To clarify, weather is on Nav6. Phone for calls and music to TFT
RE: Bluetooth connections - runnerhiker - 05-16-2024
My mistake. Weather using Garmin Smarlink shows weather radar on the Nav VI. Not the TFT. And how it updates the radar image on the Nav VI is spotty at times.

I don't know what I have connected to what
It's all smoke and mirrors to me
I have the Connected app but about the only feature I use is being able to look and Debbie's bike information on my phone like mileage and tire pressure.
I can take phone calls but don't.
I can listen to music but don't.
