Enable FM Radio and GPS Overlay

Stuart Ryan

This is one that I was under the impression that I would be able to achieve with the 20S but am greatly (GREATLY) disappointed that I am unable to as it breaks my use case for my morning commute.

I would love to see the option to permit GPS commands/alerts to be overlayed over the FM radio (in the same method as it would be with the intercom) where the FM radio softens in volume slightly for the GPS command/alert to come through.

You would make me a very happy Aussie geek if you could do this prooty please :D.

Thanks team.

Stuart

    Stuart, we appreciate your feedback regarding our products. We will look into the possibility of adding that functionality to the 20S in future.

    Is this technology available.  I literally just bought my Sena 20S and I thought this was an option.  I had to commute to a location other than my office today and had the FM Radio on and the Nav from my phone on.  However, the Nav commands never came on to notify me where to turn, etc., until I shut the FM Radio off.  I'm quite surprised this is not a feature like it is on cars, my other bluetooth headsets.  Disappointed as it sort of defeats one of the purposes of me purchasing this product.  I explained the salesperson what I wanted and needed and they said Sena 20S would work.  If t can, how do you set it up this way?  Thanks.

    Hey Doug,
    From what I have been able to get working no, from what I have been told the way it is set up internally is only one of those can be running at any one time. Similarly, I had issues when I was using the intercom and a GPS instruction came through only to kick me out of the call.

    There is a single competitor product on the market that I believe supports this, but I have not been inclined to spend the extra $400AUD to try out another device.

    Cheers,
    Stuart

    Doug I also have been misled and experiencing the same or similar issue. I can use the intercom with nothing else working but if I play the radio I can not hear the intercom. With the radio on low volume I disconnect to hear the intercom but then have to take it to highest volume setting to hear the conversation. Very disappointed and have been at this with the help desk for 3 nights now trying different things. Looking for the magic bullet.

    A new request for this feature. It's annoying to have music being cut out for GPS instructions, with the silences in between. Is it not possible to handle the GPS at the same level as the communication? I don't mind if GPS instructions interfere with any communication. The other person can repeat what he/she said, the GPS not.. I even tried to pair the GPS as a headset, doesn't work off course hence this renewed request.
