LAB-103-Harley Boom!™ Box Wireless Bluetooth Pairing Headset Hacks-The Facts-Special Patron Guest Darwin Cheng

Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we talk about the inability of the Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment system to pair "directly" with a wireless Bluetooth motorcycle headset.  We speak the truth based upon facts, research, & testing that was done. We discussed all of this via a Live Blab session. On the mics with me were Rick Kane of Law Abiding Biker™ and Community Patron Member Darwin Cheng of California.  These are the kind of things that go in the forums in the Private Patron Only Facebook Group!  Darwin conducted his own testing and on his own came up with an affordable workaround for "limited" connectivity from the Boom Box to his Sena Bluetooth headset. He shared all the information with us some time back and we finally got around to putting it together into a podcast and video. Darwin himself will tell you that his setup is a workaround and a hack of sorts. He can get some functionality, such as pushing the Boom Box audio to his Sena headset, but he cannot give voice commands back to the Boom Box, something only a wired headset can do at this time. Harman Kardon, the maker of the Boom Box system for Harley-Davidson, never intended it to work with wireless Bluetooth headsets. They only created it with a hands-free profile (HFP) to work wirelessly with things like smartphones and MP3 players.  It was not created with a headset profile (HSP) to work with wireless Bluetooth headsets and those are the facts. Related Video & Article: Is there a Bluetooth headset that pairs "directly" with the Boom Box Infotainment System? Truth or Fiction? We dive in deep and discuss all aspects of this subject, so you'll have to listen in. We break down exactly what items are needed to get a Sena Bluetooth motorcycle headset to partially work with the Boom Box System. Darwin shares exactly how he transfers between listening to audio from the Boom Box system to transitioning to receiving and making phone calls. He shares inside tips and tricks if this is something you want to do. Understand, the Boom Box was specifically designed to work with a wired headset only. That really doesn’t bother us here, because the good quality wired headsets work great and there are no headaches that go along with Bluetooth syncing. It is just one simple wire that plugs into your 7 pin communications port anyways, so there is no hassle.

It is a fully functional motorcycle headset with microphone that fully integrates with the Boom Box Infotainment System. And it is better quality and half the price of the Harley brand headset. Scroll down for further information and availability exclusively in the Law Abiding Biker Store! If a future Bluetooth headset that “directly” pairs with the Harley Boom Box becomes available we will certainly let you know. I wouldn't hold your breath though. _________________________________________________ CHECK US OUT AND SUBSCRIBE:   Website: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com   Email & Voicemail: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/Contact   Phone Hotline: 509-731-3548   Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawAbidingBiker   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawabidingbiker        YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/scrappy587     Google Plus Page: https://plus.google.com/b/104041070580228657262/+Lawabidingbiker587   Instagram: http://instagram.com/lawabidingbiker     RSS: feed://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/feed   iTunes Direct Link to Podcast:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast/id622424087    Stitcher Radio: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast   TuneIn Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/Law-Abiding-Biker-p562288/
