Awesome! You are most welcome and I appreciate your support of the channel!

[@BigLew55]

Thanks for the link. I had been considering one of these to use in my truck and GTS equipped bike. It was convenient to see one demonstrated and not have to guess at which one to add to my cart. Great demonstration too.

[@ITFZone]

Excellent! Hope it works well for you! Let me know.

[@BigLew55]

@@ITFZone So a bit of a follow up. I have not been able to make this work on my 2020 with GTS. I was able to make it work in my truck, so I think there is an incompatibility issue related to the GTS unit. I'd be curious if any others had been successful. I plan to slide by my dealer to see if they have seen this trick on the new skyline units.

[@ITFZone]

The key is its looking for wired CarPlay. So in theory it should let you start CarPlay to launch it. Bummer for sure, it continues to work on my SkyLine OS and not seen any posts of it not working in Facebook. Unfortunate!

[@BigLew55]

Update. User error. I didn't have a headset connected. Connect headset and it boots right up on the gts system

I think you will be happy with it. Seems to work well.

[@stuartberke5845]

Well I got it tonight and this device powered on android auto did appear. However it would not come back on unless I unpaired and repaired my phone. I am using the new s24 ultra. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. But this just would not stay on. So I am sending it back to Amazon. Any suggestions I would love to try em. Thanks. Stuart.

[@ITFZone]

I have received feedback that it does not work with the Boom system, only the SkyLine OS systems. I am not sure here..

Mine is boom. Not sure if they had another one. Either way, mine is packed up going back. I am disappointed. You tried. I hope you find another. Stuart.

[@davidadkins6029]

Are both comecho on Amazon do the same thing? Because the first one you have listed is no longer in stock and they do not if there ever going to be in stock. Just want to make sure before I purchase

[@hotrodharley3163]

I tried this and it does work as he describes however I found that waze would lag and the speed difference between waze and the speedometer would vary as you accelerated normally the speed might be different between the speedo and wazes GPS speed but normally this would be a constant number I saw the speed vary between the two by 2-6 MPH difference. phone was a s23 ultra, I do appreciate all the effort it took to get this working!

[@ITFZone]

I would bet you Harley speed is the one that is off! On my last 2 touring bikes I was able to adjust it using the Powervision. Just playing with Waze in the garage it seems responsive but not yet been out in the wild with it. Appreciate your feedback!

[@hotrodharley3163]

you are correct I had to do the same, this is different, this is lag, I believe the box is the culprit.@@ITFZone

[@ITFZone]

Ok good to know, thank you for sharing!

[@Tico_Mike]

There seems to be an order with this to work successfully. 1. Turn on the bike whether auxiliary or ignition. 2. Connect the box/ device allow to pair and connect to car play. 3. Select Android auto. 4. Plug in android phone. Unfortunately I'm not able to use wireless car play/android auto for some reason

[@ITFZone]

Hello, I suspect you have the AI box paired as a headset. This will prevent the wireless option from working for you. You should not need to connect the box each time. You should be able to leave it physically plugged in and have it boot to Android auto without having to touch anything. Again I suspect you have the box paired as a headset. Send me a photo of your device manager screen, [e-mail] Happy to help!

[@mwonsala]

Thanks for the video! My bike is asking for a microphone to be added before it will let me go further. What am i doing wrong?

[@ITFZone]

[@ITFZone]

Yes I show power to the phone when connected to the USBA side.

[@michaelbosworth8135]

I have bought both of the "direct replacement" boxes since the original is no longer available... neither of these two work... both still ask to hook up microphone...

[@ITFZone]

Once you decline that and successfully launch the device you should not see this prompt again.

[@johndyben5533]

If we have iPhone will that product work for the bike so it can be wireless CarPlay too?

[@ITFZone]

Yes BUT you already have wireless CarPlay built in and I don’t think this device will help much. There are options to use CarPlay without a headset. I have an update on this topic coming up next..

[@DavidMalloy]

This is a great tutorial! Everything worked great, but I may have a buggy device as the device kept disconnecting and reconnecting to the bike. I've tried unpairing all devices except the Comecho box, and it works for a few minutes, but then disconnects, reconnects, and restarts Android Auto. Given how unsafe it can be to get distracted by your maps shutting off and reconnecting, I've returned the box to Amazon and will keep hunting for a stable solution!

[@ITFZone]

After the SkyLine update if you pair the box as a headset it will not stay connected. You should only have your own headset and the AI box on the paired list. But I don't disagree, you really have to want AA as these boxes are a challenge. I continue to test and reach out to these companies and have found no better option as of yet.

[@ASAPRR]

Ok so I purchased the Box, went through the prompts until I got to the part where it asked for the headset. I decided to stop there because I needed to charge my headset. I came back the next day, when I connect the box it immediately says Device not supported connecting USB-c side to the bike !! When I try the other older USB side it lights up but is only recognized as as BT device. I've tried to unpair everything. What do I do??

[@ITFZone]

Hello! For the AI box to work you must use its USBC side to the bike and you must have a headset paired as Rider role. When the AI box boots the first time it will likely display a message about screen resolution and then reboot. Once it starts to reboot you need to power off the bike for a good 30 seconds and power it back on. From there it should boot to its interface. Happy to look at with you, easier in email: [e-mail]

[@TonVerkleijT3]

It also works on a chigee aio5 or capuride.

[@ITFZone]

Since they have their own display any wired CarPlay interface should load.

[@TonyDL]

Amazing information you're sharing here! Many people are disappointed in the lack of AA support on the new bikes. Would love to know for sure if it is Google putting the kabatch on it or is it HD that is giving up on AA integration. Early versions of the Skyline OS had an icon for AA, so not sure why it was removed at some point. I have a 2020 SG with AA - a tip for you maybe... Have you tried long pressing the button when crossing from the map back to the left side? This is how I have to do it in AA on my bike and after a short delay it jumps to the next pane. Cheers and thanks for this great post!!

[@ITFZone]

The SkyLine OS appears to be built on a google platform and you are correct many photos from Visteon show the Android icon. My understanding it is a Google issue and AA is not on any current year motorcycle. I tried long presses, double clicks. No luck but the touch screen works. Appreciate your support of the channel! Tom

[@user-wp5xq4jm9h]

Does the magic box do the same thing

[@ITFZone]

Correct

[@retirdjrhead]

I bought the Onince Z6 from your link and when I plug it in to start all I get is device not supported. I waited about 5 minutes and nothing else happened . Any ideas? This is on a '24 Road Glide.

[@ITFZone]

If the device fails to boot you MUST power the bike off for a good minute and try again. Once it fails to boot it will never reconnect. I think once you get through the initial setup you will be fine but the box is trying to calibrate the screen size and it takes a couple of power cycles before it boots, it is then good from there. Happy to help, easier in email however: [e-mail] pictures of your device manager screen and the ONINCE screen is helpful.

[@dennisberg570]

Talk about a great channel -WOW .

[@ITFZone]

Welcome! Great to have you watching!

[@mikemason3075]

Bought the second box in the link the other day and tried to connect. The bike will connect to the box but will not launch Android Auto. Car Play asks for a headset and nothing happens afterwards.

[@ITFZone]

The interface will not load if a headset is NOT connected. Depending which model you have the box would prompt you to connect the built in headset which needs to be assigned to rider. If you have the CAMECHO with the HDMI connection it does NOT have a built in wireless headset so you need to provide one such as the MAEDHAWK in my headset killer video. The system will not allow any CarPlay, AI Box to load without a headset connected BEFORE an iPhone or AI box connects.

[@mikemason3075]

So I will need a usbc splitter to hook up both the box and Bluetooth adapter, correct.

[@mikemason3075]

I finally got Android auto to work by using my Sena Headset as the microphone. However, when it shows up on the screen it says inconsistent screen resolution and says it will restart automatically but nothing happens afterwards.

[@ITFZone]

Correct

[@ITFZone]

I also get this prompt but it did restart for me and then worked from that point forward. I would say it sat for about 20 - 30 seconds and rebooted. I take you have tried disconnecting and reconnecting? I would have the bike in accessory mode when setting this up if by chance you had the ignition on?

[@aarondeere]

Im used to a bmw that has their own maps the run off the phone so when i want to listen to music there is an option to listen through the bikes speakers or my helmet. Can this be done on the new harleys? Im not a tech guy so kinda lost you in the video. Thanks for all you do and showing the work arounds. And im using android. No interest in apple

[@ITFZone]

You can pair your Android phone to the new infotainment system via Bluetooth and stream music to the bikes speakers or a headset. However for navigation you would need to use the built in navigation in the bike, if your bike is NOT a CVO you would need to pay the $350 to opt in to the navigation. So it will work just like your BMW if you use the Harley navigation system. IF you want to use the Android auto experience and its apps such as Waze you would need this adapter.

[@michaelmccauley6286]

So I have the exact same box that you show in this video. I hooked it up as you described, it never recognized it. So, I went into device manager and paired it up. I DID pair it as passenger, not sure if that's the problem. I use the Harley branded Sena headset. I never got the apple carplay to start up nor the Android auto screen like you did in your video. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it's very frustrating. Any clues? Once again, I had to manually pair the box to the bike. It would not recognize it on it's own. Thanks.

[@ITFZone]

As long as it has power and the blue blinking light and your Harley sees the sena connected the CarPlay icon should take you to the Android interface. Make sure you are using the USB C side of the box to connect to the bike. Happy to troubleshoot further by email, [e-mail]

[@scottmagnuson7539]

Can you send a link to the one that works with out a head set please and thank you .

[@ITFZone]

These AI boxes will not work without a separate headset connection, they may for awhile but will eventually fail as I have learned! These boxes only support 1 Bluetooth connection so when you go to connect your phone you have to get lucky and find the box not connected as a headset to the bike which may work for awhile but then likely will stop working.

[@Yeetsforthestreets]

I can't even get my 2024 roadglide speakers to work. Just bought it a couple days ago. The dealer told me to upload the latest softwar available through HD. It still hasn't fixed my issues...

[@ITFZone]

Make sure your audio is routed to speakers vs headset. Menu button - gear icon - Sound - Audio Routing. When you power the bike on do you hear the speakers click, you should hear the speakers power on as the bike boots up indicating the AMP turned on. If not the AMP is likely dead.

[@Yeetsforthestreets]

@ITFZone I do hear the clicking when turning on the bike or going into accessory mode. The infotainment is also set to the speakers. When I go into the settings to test my speakers no audio comes out. I'm not sure if it's an amp issue or still a software one.

[@ITFZone]

If the speakers are indicating power coming on the AMP is at least powering on. So then it is really sound routing. I would pull the main fuse for a couple of minutes to reset everything. This is a common fix for this system. Otherwise we would need to pull the fairing to check the connections from AMP to Infotainment screen.@@Yeetsforthestreets

I got the comecho CP Box from Ali Express. All works fine but only if the phone is connected via Cable. Impossible to connect over Bluetooth. Phone keeps on telling me cannot Connect

[@ITFZone]

I would disconnect your phone from the bike, so delete it from device manager and then connect the CAMECHO. You will tap the WIFI icon on the left side of the menu and it should put the AI box into pairing mode. You would then go to Android Auto on your phone and connect a car via BlueTooth. Once you have this setup you can pair your phone back to the bike for BlueTooth use but when using the Camecho you will need to disconnect the phone in Device manager or on your phone for the bike.

[@splvega1]

Can you take and make phone calls wirelessly?

[@ITFZone]

That would work through Bluetooth pairing with the bike. You would be using the embedded phone capabilities. So yes but you don’t need this box for phone calls.

[@JimMeyer-k9n]

With the adapter on the rider for a headset, can I also control and listen to music from my phone with the handlebar controls and thru my wireless headset (JBL earbuds w/ mic)?

[@ITFZone]

In this case you would go to device manager and switch the connection to your headset when using it. Remember to also adjust the audio routing from speakers to headset.

[@JimMeyer-k9n]

[@connietrahern2896]

once we hook up one of these devices, does that mean we can listen to Pandora app on our phone?

[@fireguy_75]

Bike is recognizing box as BT-CFE2

[@ITFZone]

Ok Yes the box will still try to pair as a headset but if you pair it the bike will not launch the Android interface. So you need to forget the BT-CFE2 connection in the device manager. You will need to pair another headset option that is not the box. Once you have that and connect the box just decline the pairing to BT-CFE2 and the CarPlay icon should light up OR the Android interface will just start.

Also often easier to troubleshoot via email vs in the Comments, I struggle with YT showing new replies to existing comments. [e-mail]

Hmm, mine continues to work. It creates a bluetooth connection but also a WIFI connection to your phone. In your Bluetooth and WIFI make sure both are there.

@@ITFZone it never reconnects my phone. It will boot up android mobile but I have to connect my phone every time

[@ITFZone]

So you are getting to the Android interface of the box but then you have to launch the Android Auto app to connect the phone? See my last video on this topic I cover how to set this app to default so it auto loads in the interface.

[@rfactor117]

So I had this error pop up on my new CVO today... It says " Android auto or carplay was interrupted and will restart shortly" I am not using a magic box just blue tooth connectivity for music. I have photos.

[@ITFZone]

Yep! We know that the Visteon system, "SkyLine OS" is built on Android and early photos direct from Visteon's documentation showed the Android Auto icon. Harley maintains Google said no.

[@rfactor117]

[@tomdaminai7393]

i bought the magic box tried to install it only goes to pair headset and then nothing happens. Could you advise?

[@ITFZone]

Which box? Is the CarPlay icon dimmed?

[@tomdaminai7393]

The one you recommended came available same box.

[@tomdaminai7393]

Blue light stays on and red light blinks.

[@ITFZone]

From device manager make sure it shows the headset as connected, on this screen it should also list AI box. Might be easier to troubleshoot via email. [e-mail]. Send a photo of the device manager screen.

[@gzjmckeon]

I have this box and I plugged in the usb-c to my 24 road glide. It pops up and I can pair it, but then the android auto does not pop up. When I go into bluetooth settings, I can see "AI Box" under connected device list but it automatically disappears after a couple of seconds. I have tried restarting this procedure with no luck. I paired it without a headset. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@ITFZone]

Hello, after the Skyline update the built in headset of this box will not stay connected. You must unpair it as a headset and then use another option for the rider headset. Once a different headset is paired the AI box will connect as a phone. You will then pair your Android phone to the box.

[@gzjmckeon]

I have a sena 50s so no problem. What do I have to disconnect if anything to make it work. Does the box have a memory? Can it be reset if I did something wrong already?

[@gzjmckeon]

Can you send me a detailed list of the order and what I have to do please?

[@ITFZone]

@@gzjmckeon In your device manager you should see the AI Box and your Sena on the connected list. If this is true the box should start. Reach out via email it is much easier to troubleshoot: [e-mail]

[@Bamlydean]

Both options are sold out on amazon. Anyone have a solution?

[@ITFZone]

The options are quickly dwindling after the SkyLine OS update display issue. I have not tested this one but it has free returns and implies Android OS V10 built in which would work. My affiliate link: amzn.to/457W1Yn

[@Bamlydean]

​@ITFZone I got it to work but the display is still getting cut off. I ended up trying to use it anyway and it was working for 10 minutes and then the box kept crashing and rebooting. Harley really needs to consider andriod support. It is very frustrating to buy a top of the line bike and have a big screen you can't use. Gonna fold and buy the harley gps for now. I hate I phone.

[@ITFZone]

Yep I agree, it is crazy that AA is not supported, the SkyLine OS is built on an Android OS so it is a licensing / Google issue. I have yet to see any official statement from any of the companies however.

[@jbms1photography]

Just got a 2024 HD Whiskey Fire Street glide. I have an android box the bike will say connected, and that's it. The play button is grayed out

I am trying to hook up the box to a 2024 Street Glide. It recognizes the box, but Android Auto won't pop up, and the red light keeps blinking. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?

[@ITFZone]

Make sure you are showing a headset as connected to the rider profile. On your phone when you go to Android Auto and connect via Bluetooth is the device not showing up? Might be easier to trouble shoot via email with some photos, [e-mail]

[@jamesbett4805]

You are correct. Is there a way to fool the bike that a blue tooth device is there without headphones being there?@@ITFZone

[@lucianospalliera1131]

Why is it Android works on my Triumph Trident and the New Indian Challengers, to me it more looks like Harley is not servicing Android

[@ITFZone]

I have not seen it offered on the Indians but we know it is still on the '24 GoldWings. HDMC continues to say its a Google issue but as time goes on it does not appear so. In some of the visteon (maker of the infotainment system) it pictures Android auto on the screen. Still unknown as to why its not on the new bikes...
