It works now and without a mic connected!!! Did not have to disconnect and reconnect on second and third try either. It is actually seamless.

[@ITFZone]

So I suspect this will be temporary. The AI box only has the 1 Bluetooth connection and as I found out I could use the box as a headset and have no issues until one day that stopped. Has to do with timing of when the bike connects and your phone connects. Worked great for me so I put out the video to then get all kinds of feedback that it wasn't working as a headset and the ONINCE vendor confirmed it should not work. Then after updating my Android phone one day it stopped working and has never worked again so I pulled the original video and put out an update. We shall see it could be this update changing the timing so the AI box will now work as a headset but I wouldn't trust it just yet!

[@KenUhle]

@@ITFZone I played wit the both the 2024 and the 2025 FLHX. Everyone now and then, it will not read the box. My fix was just to unplug everything then plug it all back in. This is after the latest radio software update as well.

[@rustnation2651]

You are literally the ambassador for us 2023 cvo road glide owners I have learned so much about it thanks to you!

[@ITFZone]

Awesome! Appreciate the support! The bike is still the best riding Harley I have ever owned but it would be nice to get through the bugs here at some point!

[@jacklauck2639]

I got the small one and followed your instructions on my 2024 Street Glide, and it works swimmingly. Thanks

[@ITFZone]

Awesome! Appreciate the feedback, I am always curious how these ideas are working for others. Appreciate the support!

[@costech1615]

Do you have to pair it again when powering the bike off and on?

[@ITFZone]

@@costech1615 No, as long as you do not attempt to use the box as a headset.

[@antonellomisso7065]

Thanks from Italy I bought this box for the new Road Glide special mine. I hope it works. Congratulations for your video I think it is the only resource on the net today. If it works you will become famous in Italy too ... but maybe you already are!!! A Hug

[@ITFZone]

Let me know, happy to help you with it. I don't know about famous but if I can help some Italians with these new Harley's I am happy to do so!

[@antonellomisso7065]

[@antonellomisso7065]

Ti volevo ringraziare e comunicarti che ho seguito i tuoi consigli e Android Car funziona perfettamente sulla mia nuova Road Glide 2024 .

Purtoppo Onince io in Italia non sono riuscito a trovarlo neanche su Amazon e l'ho fatto arrivare dagli USA . Lo scrivo per altri Italiani interessati che leggerannno questo Post. Grazie e Buon Natale .

[@josephmjones434]

Thanks for your videos. Just some feedback on my experience. I got the CA01 and it worked ok for a couple of weeks and really the best when the phone was plugged it. Then all of a sudden the Bluetooth from the box to the bike became unstable. Continuously disconnecting and thus not allowing the carplay interference to connect. Even tried connecting my headset instead which was a stable connection and the box still appears to need that Bluetooth connection to the bike in order to fire the carplay interface. Tried a second CA01 with the same result.

[@ITFZone]

Hello, So this is the issue the AI Box cannot be paired to the bike at all. Only to your Android phone. You must provide your own headset for the CarPlay icon to enable. The box only supports 1 BlueTooth connection which will be to your phone. When the bike prompts to connect to BT-### you need to decline it. I have had a couple people report that it continues to prompt to connect but eventually stops, some say 10 times before it stops. I have not seen that if I decline the connection I have not seen it prompt again. That would be the SkyLine OS at work. Make sure to delete the BT-### connection from the bike! Happy to look at it with your reach out in email: [e-mail]

Holly crap got the oldbox to work when i got it it didn't work it did the crazy screen hiddin behind speedo. Glad i kept the box it works perfect now :)

[@ITFZone]

Awesome! Anything Android Auto 10 should display correctly.

[@sluml0rd67]

@@ITFZone ya it was the first box you ever posted . the AI camecho box

[@myzuc6385]

I've been using this box since May and it's still working after my 1000 mile service and software update on my CVO ST. The only issue I have is that I have to unpaired and then repair my android phone at least 3 times every time I start the bike. Otherwise it works perfectly for Android carplay and I use Google maps and Sirus satellite radio.

[@ITFZone]

I think if you move away from using it as a headset or tape the USB cable to the box you will eliminate the connectivity issues.

[@michaelnagy4827]

Great video. Do both of the boxes have the bug mentioned on having to repair the phone at every startup?

[@ITFZone]

Only if you try to use the box as a headset. If you provide your own headset connection you will not have this issue with either box.

[@AverageMoz]

Only issue i had is lost the play/pause button on the hand controls but everything else is great

[@ITFZone]

I assume from the update? I will take a look.

[@AverageMoz]

​@@ITFZoneyou discussed in the video here it didn't work either and have to use the touch screen to access it. If I'm on just the big map it won't pause music but if I have a split I get to pause music occasionally. Not consistent

[@hollywoodboggie]

Bro always enjoy your vids. I wonder if you have or could do a vid on the install of the Harley Smart Siren ii for those of us who could not afford the CVO. Mine is the 2024 Street Glide. There are precious few vids on point. Thanks much if you could do so.

[@ITFZone]

Possibly, the key is it is designed to mount behind the battery so you need to remove the battery. The connector is there is my understanding on the 24's so its plug and play.

[@hollywoodboggie]

Thank you, and I concur they are not easy, but a really persistent user can get them to work, eventually. I have been following your tutorials and am finally getting positive results. The small box is not showing up on Amazon yet.

[@ITFZone]

Glad you stuck with it, the CA01 box was available for order yesterday but not today! Hang in there, ONINCE is to be stocking them but you can reach out to them directly for an update. The last I had from them is it would be back this week.

[@RayTurnquist]

Just bought 2024 road glide. You say in your video that you don't need a headset if you're using the android auto box. Is this correct? I ordered one through your channel and will be getting it today.

[@ITFZone]

Hello! Congrats on the bike! To use the ONINCE AI box you are likely going to need a headset for the CarPlay icon to activate. Some have had luck pairing the ONINCE box as a headset but then it fails to launch into the interface. In my experience it worked as a headset for awhile and then stopped. So I had to update the video as many others reported the same. I do think you will need a headset adapter to make this work. Happy to help you through it, [e-mail]

[@SteveMooney-n2o]

Juat ordered one... thanks!

@ Make sure under Menu - sound - routing is speakers. Otherwise reach out in email, send me a photo of your setup and your device manager menu. Happy to jump on a video call so we can look at it together.

[@junesondrab3833]

My HD didnt have Android Auto or Car Play in its infotainment. When I checked the software version, it was 2 versions behind. All I did was update to the latest version by downloading it from Harleys website onto a usb stick. Plug in the usb stick to the bike. Turn the bike on to accessory mode. The infotainment system reads the usb stick and updates the infotainment to the latest version. No external box needed. Now I have android auto and carplay working.

[@ITFZone]

True for the 2019 - 2023 (non CVO). Any HD with the new 12.7”’screen does not support Android Auto, unfortunately!

[@NicholasNigro-r7l]

😊

[@charlespitassi]

I recently purchased the magic box you suggested but i was unaware you had to link a headset, do you have a video that shows that step before linking the magic box?

[@josephmjones434]

I've just installed it on my 2024 RG. Just add new device on the HD and look for BT-BDE7. That's what the bike accepted as the headset. Hope this helps. JmJ

[@ITFZone]

However while this may work for now at some point your phone may stop connecting the the AI box. In theory you cannot use the box as a headset so you really would decline this pairing and then pair your own headset option.

[@scottbradley4012]

Question: Can you install and use the GoPro Quick app with this box? What a great way to setup a GoPro remote! It might have to be downloaded as an APK

[@ITFZone]

Hello! I have not tried it but the trick would be the camera would need to Bluetooth to the box and there is no open Bluetooth connection. I am looking at a box that has 2 Bluetooth connections. Good idea for sure!

[@SteveMooney-n2o]

Will the smaller box not work unless a headset is connected?

[@ITFZone]

Neither box technically will work as a headset however mine did for sometime and then stopped. Others are reporting the same. These boxes only support 1 Bluetooth connection which must be your Android phone for Android auto to open. I do believe you can use your phone wired for Android Auto but with the later versions that also does not seem to work anymore. You will need to supply your own headset connection for any of these boxes to open Android Auto consistently.

[@NicholasNigro-r7l]

Hi, I used your set up with onice box. It works fine once I get it going. My problem is once I finish riding and put bike away for the day I come back next day or several days later, it does not boot up. I have to connect, disconnect, reboot phone, etc to get it going. Once going, it’s good for the day, starting stopping etc, boots up. Put away, come back next day or another, same thing, reboot after reboot. Do you have a solution? Thanks

[@ITFZone]

I suspect you are trying to use the AI box as a headset. If you do this will only work with your phone plugged into the USBA passthrough, wired Android Auto. For wireless Android auto you cannot have the box paired as a headset so in device manager if you see BT-### you need to delete that connection and use something else like the MAEDHawk as a headset.

[@NicholasNigro-r7l]

@ I’m using the mead hawk as the driver headset. Like I said once I get it going works flawlessly all day

[@cynadrax]

I'm all setup and working but it's not auto-connecting to my phone. I have to click on android auto, then go to bluetooth on my phone and select the box every time.

[@ITFZone]

Hello, what is the headset option you are using? Also you may want to try and delete any connection of your phone to the bike. Only pair the your phone to the AI box using Android auto. Reach out in email, easier to troubleshoot, send a picture of your device manager screen. [e-mail]

[@Carjoe44]

Which one of these 2 devices mimics a headset? I bought the onince and i think i need to pair a headset.

[@Carjoe44]

Sorry I bought the z6 model.

[@ITFZone]

The Z6 was the box working for me as a headset but it later stopped. See this video on this topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2TYiZ53ZrdopLM

[@LarryI7498]

So with both boxes I have to go back to Android 10? How do I do that?

[@ITFZone]

Negative, your phone can be on the current Android OS. The AI box is on Android 10 and only AI boxes with Android OS V10 will work with these new Harley's.

[@Dvanb007]

Question and somethings I possibly missed. I have the z6 box. Is it possible to set up the box for Android Auto on my RG. I can get that far, but where do i connect my actual headset? To my phone? Honestly I'm confused

[@ITFZone]

Reach out to me in email, possibly we can connect to go through it. You need a headset present before you can get the box to launch. You will then pair your phone to the box and not the bike to get Android Auto on the screen. [e-mail]

[@chadledford7928]

Okay been using my Onince for a couple weeks now , but seems to make my phone hot, and it is power hungry 4 hour ride has my phone down to 20%.. I've got it on power save plus I've got it plugged into the AI box, I only allow maps music to have usage data power etc I set up a mode that when connected to Android Auto . I wonder if this is just going to be normal?

[@ITFZone]

Curious if your phone is indicating charging and if so how long does it indicate to a full charge? When you are using a cable connection it is using wired Android auto. I have not noticed any heat issue with my phone.

[@michaelbosworth8135]

I have tried both boxes.... neither have worked.

[@ITFZone]

Key is to have a headset paired as rider role. Happy to look at it with you, reach out to me in email and we can arrange a call or a video call and we can walk through the setup. [e-mail]

[@lummoxoverlandadventures1072]

Im mainly intrested in navigation on my 24 RG. Is it possible to get google maps to work by plugging in an Android phone to the bike?

[@ITFZone]

Not without Android Auto or an IPhone with Google map’s loaded.

[@jeremywilcox3472]

if you connect your phone via Bluetooth you can set your destination in maps on your phone and you will get audio prompts without a map display if your phone is stowed away in the dash.

[@dino5254]

Is that default blue color for the Google Maps, so no regular white background? Night/Dark theme available?

[@ITFZone]

This is just the company's logo and built in interface. Once you connect Android auto you can set it as you wish.

[@dino5254]

@@ITFZone Yea, I am just curious because on all my Android Auto vehicles and devices the Map has always a white background then a Night dark background. I'm not talking about the Harley interface White but the actual Android Auto. That blue Map doesn't feel like Google Maps to me even though it is. I think that's not making me get it. I don't want to buy it and find out that it's Blue and you can't change the setting.

[@ITFZone]

@@dino5254 Should not be an issue for you. Once you have Android Auto up it follows the phones scheme.

[@dino5254]

@@ITFZone thanks I hope so. I wish you can try it and let us know. I'm sure a lot of us Android Auto Map users are curious as well
