General topics » Any Good Reasons For Connecting My Helmet to The TFT.

I'm wondering if I should bother connecting my Schuberth C4 to the TFT.
Right now I have my Schuberth SC1A and phone connected to my Nav V.
What will I gain by connecting the SC1A and phone to the TFT.
I only remember taking 2 or 3 calls while on the bike, so using the phone is not important.
I rarely listen to music on the bike.
I have the GPS for navigation. I don't think I would ever use the Turn by Turn option on the TFT.

In the past I have not paid much attention to posts about the TFT so I may be missing features I would like.

Both of us really like the TFT display and I think I figured out most of the features on the ride home from the shop the other day.

Just connected my Phone to my Nav 5 & Helmet for the first time and used the Garmin Smart Link - bloody revelation I have to say.
All worked perfectly including connection to pillion.

No...there is no reason do connect your helmet to your TFT.

I didn't think I would ever use the turn by turn on the TFT either, but find myself using it more and more.

On the other hand, if your old tech works, why change?

Based on the new RT and K1600s, it looks like the BMW Navigator is dead. They don't even have cradles.

I've generally had good luck getting my phone and Cardo paired with the TFT, and I'm reasonably happy with the BMW app for navigation. I can always load a GPX file if I want a specific route.

Connected mine up when I got the bike a d had a few issues with it forgetting the bluetooth connections, but after the tft software update all has been well, connects and stays connected every time.
Starting to use the inbuilt navigation app and again works well, but still have the Nav 6 on the bike as it shows an old school map which I find useful

I installed the phone app and connected to the TFT.
Didn't see anything I would use.
I was hoping I could see the My Motorcycle screen on my phone, but did not see that option.

Did you install BMW Motorrad Connected app on your phone?

Yes

I just looked again and now I see a little info above weather.
It shows a full tank and 236 miles to empty.
When I click on the bike picture it shows Updated 22 hours ago and I see bike mileage, Trip mileage, blank tire pressure, 5 min, mileage and date for next service.

It would be nice if it showed what the tire pressure was when the bike was shut off.

What does 5 minutes mean?

On the bike I like to keep things simple.

paper with route notes in a tank bag window - it's all I used to get from UK to Slovenia in 1999!

Got up to 60 F today so we got out for 135 break in miles.
On the TFT I see a white box with 3 dashes. I'm guessing this is the Speed Limit I checked in Settings.
My phone is connected to the TFT so I'm not sure why I don't see the speed limit.
I can live without it since it shows on my GPS, plus the speed limit is wrong a lot of times.

I also noticed my Nav V no longer has the Trip 2 option. Trip Automatic now resets at gas stops instead of each day.
I do not have Automatic selected in the TFT Settings.
Maybe the older Nav V doesn't talk well to the TFT.

Highs in the 40s the rest of the week so Debbie said I was in charge of doing the remainder of the break in miles.

I noticed the LED light strips are not noticeable on a sunny day when I look in the mirrors at Debbie.
The Clearwater lights with yellow covers are very noticeable.
