Has anyone found a way on the F6B to get GPS directions to interrupt the stereo and come through the sound system? I have heard that it can be done on the G-Wings through the CB interface but not sure on the F6B. If not I am sure I can go bluetooth in the helmet.
I'm still brand new to the bike and started playing with this. I got my phone's gps (Google based) to come through the speakers on the aux setting. You would have to be playing music through your phone with the jack in the upper left compartment hooked up in aux mode. I use I heart radio and Pandora so as long as I am listening to that I can hear my directions. I can't believe Honda didn't Bluetooth this bike.
Scott, give Jeff a call at Sierra Electronics...the motorcycle audio and electronics store, and ask him for the Goldwing Intercom interupt harness. This only works if you listen to everything through a helmet headset. It will NOT work if you use the bikes external speakers. By using this harness...a $ 59.00 item, it will interupt any music you are listending to , and give you GPS directions through BOTH speakers inside your helmet.
I use a very simple solution to this one. For those times that I need directions I use the stock Navigation app on my Android smartphone, along with the stock Music app. Plug it into the 3.5mm jack in the glove box. It automatically interrupts the music to give directions - it's worked well for me.
And, unlike every other thing I've done with the bike, this solution was free (since I already had the phone)!
I too use my smart phone plugged into the bike's system with the 3.5mm plug and I use the dual power outlets in the same compartment to charge the phone while using. The navigation app will block music and give me directions to either my bluetooth helmet speakers or the bikes speaker system.
