Still very happy with my Sena Freewire, 7-pinned to my Boombox, and paired with my Sena 50S with their HiDef speakers….full functionality and stereo and no Harley WHIM tax! Thanks, as always, for the great content!
Just an FYI - My bike is equipped with the WHIM. My Nolan helmet has an NCOM 901. Both the wife and I connect to the WHIM/BoomBox. Apple Play works fine with our non-branded headsets. However, like you stated, I lost the additional settings that were available on my HD 20s headsets. Life would be great if I could figure out how to be connected to my WHIM as well as to another rider on another bike.
Funny how you didn't do a video comparing the 30K to the 50S HD SENA system. Why is the 50S worth almost $230 more. (where I live) I had the 30K with the upgraded speakers and can't find any difference what the 50S does better than the 30K. As far as I can tell the 30K can do everything the 50S does. It has Mesh up to 24 bikes, can pair with other company headsets, Connects automatically, Make and receives phone calls, Voice activated, Can listen to music, fast charging 20 min gives 6 hours talk time, My charge lasted 14 hours can use SIRI so what is the $200 difference? I ask because I just sold my Non Harley 30K and want to buy another SENA and if the 50S isn't any better than the 30K I will save $200 plus and buy a 30K
install the Harley wired headset 7 pin socket in the fairing and connect a SENA Freewire you can use any SENA or Schuberth headset you want with no Harley Tax. Ryan has all the info and tutorials on this site to do this GREAT INFO!!
Hey Ryan, love watching your videos, and always find them helpful. Just wanted to give my update on my system to pass along information and maybe help someone else out. I have a 2018 Street Glide CVO, obviously it came with the whim installed, and got a boom box GTS installed. I recently got a Shoei Neotec2 and decided to get the Sena SLR mesh (which is not a Harley branded Sena) that was made for that helmet. I found out that I was able to pair the SLR mesh to the GTS, and with the phone plugged in, was able to get Apple CarPlay. Haven’t been able to test full functionality yet. I thought it would be fun to take it a step further and try to do wireless CarPlay through an adapter. I used the Carlinkit 5.0 and it also worked. I can now get wireless CarPlay to come up on my GTS. Still need to check what all functions, but I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the great videos you guys put out! I’ll give you an updated on the functionality once I’ve had time to test it.
I would love to do these same as you but worried about mono sound. What did you find out with your experience. Even if had to pay "the Harley tax" for firmware to make work I'd be willing.
@@scottkeatts4864so I did a test on my bike, and no matter if I had my non harley branded headset on or off, my stereo quality was the same. Never went mono sound. Maybe because I have a CVO, and it runs amplifiers, not really sure.
I just added the new Rockford Fosgate speakers to my older HD branded 30K, I was using the Sena HD speakers and there is a notable different between them and the new RF speakers. Volume and sound is better IMO.
Great video. Is there anyway to get car play without a headset on a CVO ultra limited? By tricking the whim or otherwise? I don’t use a headset but want CarPlay 😎🇺🇸
I have been researching premium level touring helmets like Shoei Neotec 2 or Schuberth C5 and really like that these helmets now have their own wireless headset electronics incorporated into the shell of the helmet (versus those bulky add-on headset units that are attached the outside of helmet.) The frustrating issue about this is that it appears unless I use a Harley-branded Sena external mounted unit, or a Harley modular helmet with their HD Sena built-in unit, sounds like I will loose quite a bit of functionality of the Harley Boom Box GTS Infotainment System even with a Wireless Headset Interface Module (WHIM). I understand there is a jumper plug available for non-whim bikes which helps some issues, but is there a work-around for Shoei or Schuberth Sena units to use on CVOs which come standard with WHIM?
I just switched to a neotec2 myself, and I also purchased the SLR Mesh for that was made for that helmet. I have a 2018 CVO(with whim), and a GTS. I was able to pair the SLR mesh to the GTS, plug my phone in and got apple carplay to work. Have tested all the functionality yet, just got it finished about an hour ago. I also got a wireless CarPlay adapter installed and got CarPlay to come up that way too. If you need assistance with it, let me know, I can walk you through what I did.
Had the dealership install the WHIM on my 2020 Ultra Limited. Bought the Harley-branded pair of 30Ks. Clearly the pairing is right, as CarPlay functions, however no sound or microphone through the headset. Updated firmware on the headsets, per an online forum's suggestion. Re-paired & still nothing. Kinda disappointed given how much I have had to invest after buying the bike.
I added the WHIM to my '16 Ultra Lim. I bought the H-D Sena 30K that came with standard speakers. I upgraded to the high-def speakers and they made a world of difference. For me, the speakers need to be touching the ear for the best sound. I had a hard time getting the speaker in-helmet placement right, so I put on my Shoei N-II leaving the speakers dangling. I position the speakers on each ear before fastening the chin strap with the system synched and radio on. I've had to pull over a few times to get the speakers set just right for comfort and sound. It takes a while to dial in the system. My routine is turn off the phone before firing up the bike and Sena. Get the Sena synched and speakers adjusted. Then turn the phone on. You don't want the Boom Audio 30K connected on BT, only let the phone connect with H-D Radio. Boom Audio 30K clashes with the WHIM, so don't connect it. The WHIM becomes the CPU for the sound system. This way, you can switch between radio tunes and iPhone tunes or Sirius Radio. Also, you have three volume settings to adjust: phone, volume setting in Boom settings/ thumb control and the Sena dial control. I like to get the volume adjusted with the phone and Boom settings 3/4 high and Sena low, then adjust the Sena dial while riding. This gives me some volume control headroom, otherwise I max out the volume in the system and don't get good sound. Lastly, there is a volume difference between iPhone/ Sirius radio and Boom radio, the latter coming in louder, so I use the Sena dial headroom to make up the difference when switching from H-D radio to phone tunes. I can get iPhone tunes with the phone plugged into the 12V charge via BT, but if I plug it into the USB port, no tunes. Maybe I have to turn off the BT if I plug it into the USB. Getting it all dialed in and being comfortable with changing settings on the fly takes a while. Nothing is easy with Harley. P.S. your Boom Audio videos are the best. You have a great site. Thanks.
Buy the jumper connector and call it a day. Use Apple CarPlay with any sena headset to listen to music or take calls and still use the controls on the radio to control what comes through your headset.
The jumpers seem to work until they don't. Which brand did you get? With software updates many are failing. Unfortunately, the only long term guaranteed solution is Harley branded items. I also don't believe you're getting stereo sound though. Thanks for watching.
@@RyanUrlacher I can’t remember the name of the jumper. The sound is still stereo as technically the sound is coming directly from the phone. Usually you have to pause then unpause the music using the button on the sena or change the destination for sound using your music app but so far so good. I also have been experimenting with the Otto cast wireless adapter and it works flawlessly for a completely wireless experience which is ok on shorter rides where battery life isn’t an issue. Thank you for your really informative videos and stay safe out there.
If your passenger has a non branded sena 50s then they won't hear the stereo?. For them to hear the music you're are playing on the bike thru would need the branded version also?
What helmet are you using. Installed in my Helmet no speaker indents which causes rubbing on the ear...Need to change my helmet to run these. Thanks for the info...Great videos as always
Great job, Ryan... thank you much. I have the new Schubert C5 Helmet, with the CS2 system. Yes it paired but totally useless. I own a Street Glide special 2019. I wonder if we can use the Sena free wire system to get around these issues?
I bought the Harley branded 50S and can't get the intercom to work? Both headsets are paired to bike as Rider and passenger. On the rider I can hear music and phone but the other headset can't hear me. Isn't the intercom always open or on? Meaning you dont have to touch a button for it to work?
I currently have a 2016 CVO I upgraded to the New boombox GTS and also had the Whim installed. I have an iPhone but I still can’t get all the functions to work in CarPlay. Do I have to have the Harley 50S in order for everything to work?
Just bought the Harley branded 50s duel pack. Wife and I are still trying to figure out how to use them. We have the intercom part down pat and listening to music. Still trying to figure out how to skip forward on a song. I turn my Sena on first then open the app to pair with Sena. Once I turn my Ultra Limited (2016) on and it pairs with Boom blue tooth it stops the music playing in my Sena. Drives me nut.
Another good video, thanks you! At some point I would love to see a video on the preferred settings with the Harley boom audio Bluetooth device manager especially around the subject of intercom configuration. FYI - I have the branded 30K, and most of the time I'm always getting a message saying intercom failed.
so I have a 2018 CVO Road Glide with the GTS radio I upgraded to. It should already have the WHIM....if i just want to add a wireless headset to communicate with my passenger and answer calls, can I use any brand bluetooth headset? I am not interested in using the headset speakers for music as my sound system has been upgraded also. Will my passenger be able to listen to her music on her phone if she chooses to instaed of the bikes radio?
Hello Ryan! I’ve my HJC RPHA 91 with HJC Smart 21B Sena installed and a RG 2020. Someone knows if work with the WHIM? Sena told me that it’s compatible, but I don’t know what they mean. Thanks a lot!
Great Review Ryan. Recently bought a 2020 RoadGlide. Sold my old 2016 RoadGlide. Looking to get a system an ya answered some of my questions. Haven’t looked in your store as of yet? But ? Do you offer the HD SENA SYSTEM ? 50S or 50R whichever is the latest ?
have you talked about different manufacturers' wireless communication devices? I have a SENA 20S and a Harley No2 and not sure if they can or how to mesh them any ideas or info? They both work with the BOOM's intercom but would like to mesh with other riders.
Hi Ryan. I connected the 7 pin din cable in the port i used for apple carplay jumper plug. Sena freewire works amazing with my new sena 50r headset. But im kinda missing the apple carplay. Anything i can do to have both Apple carplay and the sena freewire ?
I have a 21 road glide and i have cardo pack talk. The cardo is great until you connect to the bike. When you do its so distorted you cant listen to it. I love the cardo and payed good money for them, is here anything I can do to fix this or do i have to spend another $500 for harley headsets as the dealer says? Please help
Hello Ryan. I have a 2013 HD Ultra Classic with original radio system and 7 pin wired intercom system and to tell you the true I don't like it at all. I want to upgrade it to an apple car play but I'm not sure what is my best option. Thus I have the 7 pin wired Head set I also would like to have the possibility of use the wireless cardo in my helmets. please any advise>
The 50s comes with Mesh intercom 2.0 and uses Bluetooth protocol 5.0 which improves your connection stability and audio transfer. The 50s includes a WiFi adapter which allows your units to wirelessly update their firmware and will also manage charging the battery. With the 50s you get about one hour more talk time and it charges faster thn the 30k. Ride safe & Ride Often! Check out this UA-cam Channel as we have a ton of free videos for you!

I just had the WHIM installed and I have the HD branded 50S, Apple Siri works, HD commands work as long as I hit the talk button, But I cannot get the Sena commands to work and cannot get the Hello Sena to respond. Is that normal?
Ok, so lets assume as the rider (driver) I have a 50s HD stamped Sena with full functionality. Will my wife need one to communicate with me in a 2 up situation?
I have the H-D 30K. I pair the headset only to the Boom radio (Whim). When I use the pair both after a call or a text the audio doesn’t always come back to the bike. Sometimes it makes sense to pair to the phone if I need to do that I will do it then delete the entry after that direct use. Hope my comment makes sense to you. It maybe better with the 50S but I didn’t not think so.
I have a 30k Harley branded unit, and I want to upgrade to the HD speakers. Do you know if I can do that. Harley do not offer the upgraded speaker so I would have to by from Sena. Will there be a compatibility issue.
Hi I have a 2020 street glide I had the whim installed and have a 30 k Sena Harley brand and the voice commands won’t work properly I’m in Australia and Harley tech told me you can’t update the whim I’m struggling to get any help from Harley dealership has anyone else had these issues cheers
Ryan, great videos from LAB as always. There is a jumper available online or a simple one wire jumper that can be added to your harness to get CarPlay on your GTS. No update needed. Harley Tax can be avoided.
Many jumpers are failing with software updates. The only long term and guaranteed solution is a HD branded headset and whim. Also, the jumpers plugin to where your WHIM does. You'll only be able to listen through your speakers and not a wireless headset.
Agreed, I bought my 2020RGL a year and half ago, and bought the jumper plug from a user on the HDforums. I just went out and updated my GTS boom to MY22.21.28.00 which is latest avail. My Paktalk Edge, connects up just fine, I'm listening to XM radio, I just called my house with voice commands, have carplay, waze all that, on the gts head unit. I really wanted to buy the WHIM to make everything plug and play, but I've had the Sena 20S in my past, my Paktalk hands down blows the Sena experience away, so I refuse to pay the Harley tax to buy the Whim and then get mono from my Paktalk.

Hey Ryan, thanks for the video. Great content and - by far - the best headset-related tutorials and reviews on UA-cam! I own a 2022 SGST with the CarPlay jumper installed and working like a charm, and I have a question. Can I use a HD branded Sena 50s to pair it with the Boombox head unit via bluetooth and listen to the CarPlay audio coming from the phone without the WHIM? My goal is to listen to my phone's audio coming from the Boombox GTS's CarPlay in the headset via bluetooth. No need for mesh network, intercom or communications for now. I am planning to add the WHIM in the future for that. Sorry for the long question, and cheers from Toronto!

any tips for dealing with wind noise activating the mike on these systems putting it into intercom mode?

Thus I have the 7 pin wired Head set I also would like to have the possibility of use the wireless cardo in my helmets. please any advise>
What is the advantage of a 50s over a 30s in Harley branded system in a 2014 ultra with the 6.5
The 50s comes with Mesh intercom 2.0 and uses Bluetooth protocol 5.0 which improves your connection stability and audio transfer. The 50s includes a WiFi adapter which allows your units to wirelessly update their firmware and will also manage charging the battery. With the 50s you get about one hour more talk time and it charges faster thn the 30k.

Thanks for the reply. Enjoy all your videos.
I just had the WHIM installed and I have the HD branded 50S, Apple Siri works, HD commands work as long as I hit the talk button, But I cannot get the Sena commands to work and cannot get the Hello Sena to respond. Is that normal?
Why is there NEVER any information on the HD 50C??
what about extra settings on hd 30k Sena
First, thanks for the awesome content. Will a nonbranded 50S mesh or private intercom with the Harley branded 30 & 50s?
Yes
Ok, so lets assume as the rider (driver) I have a 50s HD stamped Sena with full functionality. Will my wife need one to communicate with me in a 2 up situation?
You must have done something wrong or Sena SRL2 is very specific. It pairs with WHIM and music, commands, you name it, work. Sound? Mono, of course.
Do you pair the HD 50s to the WHIM and phone or just the WHIM? I believe I heard if you pair it to both it can create problems.
I have the H-D 30K. I pair the headset only to the Boom radio (Whim). When I use the pair both after a call or a text the audio doesn’t always come back to the bike. Sometimes it makes sense to pair to the phone if I need to do that I will do it then delete the entry after that direct use. Hope my comment makes sense to you. It maybe better with the 50S but I didn’t not think so.
Just pair your 50s to the whim, not your phone.
I have a 30k Harley branded unit, and I want to upgrade to the HD speakers. Do you know if I can do that. Harley do not offer the upgraded speaker so I would have to by from Sena. Will there be a compatibility issue.
I do not know on that. Good question.
Which speakers are better Rockford or Harmon? My Rockford in my Sena sounds good but I think it could be better.
Rockford are a bit better
Hi I have a 2020 street glide I had the whim installed and have a 30 k Sena Harley brand and the voice commands won’t work properly I’m in Australia and Harley tech told me you can’t update the whim I’m struggling to get any help from Harley dealership has anyone else had these issues cheers
Ryan, great videos from LAB as always. There is a jumper available online or a simple one wire jumper that can be added to your harness to get CarPlay on your GTS. No update needed. Harley Tax can be avoided.
Many jumpers are failing with software updates. The only long term and guaranteed solution is a HD branded headset and whim. Also, the jumpers plugin to where your WHIM does. You'll only be able to listen through your speakers and not a wireless headset.
Agreed, I bought my 2020RGL a year and half ago, and bought the jumper plug from a user on the HDforums. I just went out and updated my GTS boom to MY22.21.28.00 which is latest avail. My Paktalk Edge, connects up just fine, I'm listening to XM radio, I just called my house with voice commands, have carplay, waze all that, on the gts head unit. I really wanted to buy the WHIM to make everything plug and play, but I've had the Sena 20S in my past, my Paktalk hands down blows the Sena experience away, so I refuse to pay the Harley tax to buy the Whim and then get mono from my Paktalk.
Can I pair with my wife's cardo?
How much is the Harley sena
$367.95 for the Harley branded 50s.

Hey Ryan, thanks for the video. Great content and - by far - the best headset-related tutorials and reviews on UA-cam!
I own a 2022 SGST with the CarPlay jumper installed and working like a charm, and I have a question. Can I use a HD branded Sena 50s to pair it with the Boombox head unit via bluetooth and listen to the CarPlay audio coming from the phone without the WHIM?
My goal is to listen to my phone's audio coming from the Boombox GTS's CarPlay in the headset via bluetooth. No need for mesh network, intercom or communications for now. I am planning to add the WHIM in the future for that. Sorry for the long question, and cheers from Toronto!
WTF, I just want to pair my helmet to other Sena helmets. My friend has the Sena outrush with the smart com pairing. Frustrated with HD crap!
So it doesn't work then...
.
Which part? In the video I answer many questions.
When you had said the unit will pair however, you won't get sound or any functions. That to me sounded like it wouldn't work.
It was right at the beginning of the video. Love all the videos you guys do. I can't wait for more long ride videos. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Thank you!
