TFT connection without Nav 6

Neil12GS · Dec 16, 2020

I know it has been covered a lot but can’t find this answer!
How do I connect a Cardo bold to an iPhone and TFT. Not involving any Nav 6.
I can’t seem to get everything to work, only parts of what I would like.
I would like to be able to use Cardo voice commands and control music (Spotify) with Cardo voice commands and via scroll wheel.
Also want full phone,Nav and music functionality on TFT.
I intend to use BMW connected app for Nav.

What am I doing wrong? :blast

Not sure about voice commands as I haven’t sorted that out (yet?), but pairing phone to tft, and helmet to tft should give you wonderwheel control of everything.

Yes, tried that but no Cardo voice control which I like. Voice control only seems to work with Cardo connected directly to phone and Cardo app.

Will only work if connected directly to the phone.
Unless you want to do intercom/radio/etc in which case it will still work.
Music from phone regardless of source has to be direct or use the wheel.

Phone to TFT
Cardo to TFT

Don't run the cardo app or it takes over the phone and

I don't use voice control on the cardo

For me using the tft as the centre point has solved my problem

When you start the bike up it takes anything up to 40 seconds for them all to connect up, works every time for me now

I couldn't control the music with voice commands on the cardo but do so with the wheel, same with the phone (Android)

Phone works fine through wheel

Try connecting the cardo to the Nav through the dedicated channel for Nav on the cardo

Thanks. Seems to work now as above but none done anything differently!
May try nav6 through Nav channel on Cardo but I think I would prefer the BMW connected Nav .
I think I’ll sell me Nav 6 and just use my phone.

I have connected to Cardo to tft using mobile 1 pairing on Cardo,
Then connected iPhone to tft.
Then Cardo to Nav6 via Nav pairing accessed via mobile 2 pairing on Cardo. If you go to Nav pairing from mobile 1 it has issues !
( Turn wheel to Nav pairing when in mobile 2 pairing)
Works ok in the garage , too wet to go out and try it!

I have given up with the Nav 6 and Bluetooth issues.
I have sold the Nav 6 and now have my Samsung S20 to do the Nav on the phone holder where the Nav was and have the TFT doing music and phone and occasional Navigator App Nav if needed.
A lot less messing about and a cleaner look.
