Thanks for watching and commenting. The adaptor featured in this video will not work on the 2024s. However I recently released another video on the Play2video pro that will work on the 2024s. One caveat is this will not eliminate the need to have a headset connected or a jumper to trick the system into believing a headset is connected. This is an Apple Carplay requirement not Harley Check out the link to the other video below. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

Thanks RJ for watching and commenting. I do believe you can buy a 2 pack and save a little more than buying 2 individually. This new version is lighting fast...with no latency. Ride safe and enjoy. 👊✌️👍

@@HDVIBE Thanks again I purchased it, I tried the HDVIBE code and it didn't take but it's on sale for $79.00

Thanks Art for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. Ride safe and enjoy. 👊✌️👍

You can do that if you have the WHIM. I do it all the time. Or you can just connect your phone to the headset and you can take calls.

Thanks for watching and commenting. If you have the ability to connect your headset to the infotainment system via a WHIM, then you can use the headset to listen to Android Auto. This is how I use the adaptor on every ride. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so.

Thanks for watching and sharing that info. Sounds like having the headset connected is the option for the 2024s. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍

Thanks for watching. It's a cool gadget that works flawlessly. Ride safe and enjoy. 👊✌️👍

Thanks Brian for watching and commenting. Using a high quality cable is a definite must so you don't get the drops. Thanks for your support and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

I am running Cardo also. I will have my Cardo connected via bluetooth and have the car play going on the bike. I can listen to my music on my Cardo and the gps directions will go through the bike speakers. But I wonder if I start the route on the phone rather than the screen on the bike if the prompts will go through the bluetooth as well.

@retiredarmyvet2018 Thanks for watching and commenting. I've never had that issue using the Harley wireless headsets with the WHIM installed on the infotainment system. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👍👊

I was going to get the WHIM but then I found out that it doesn't work with the Cardo. So it was going to be $400 for the WHIM then another $500 for the two helmet coms systems. I went with the $12 option. LOL! @@HDVIBE

There should be no password needed when connecting to the Ottocast adapter. Double check to make sure your wifi from the phone is trying to connect to OTTO-XXXXX. WITH THE XXXX being some number as shown in the video. If not, disconnect everything and start the set up again. The instructions that come with the adapter are good as well. It steps you through the set up process as well. 👊✌️👍

I ran into this as well. Connect your phone to the Otto bluetooth first. I did that, and it autoconnected wifi and started working. The manual online says this. The paper copy included is worthless.

@zachlogan2639 Thanks for sharing that tip. ✌️👊👍

@@zachlogan2639 That did it ! thanks

👍👊✌️

Thanks for watching and commenting. I have the WHIM installed on my bikes which allows a Bluetooth headset to connect to the infotainment system. I used the Harley/Sena headset and listen to music through that coming from Android Auto with the Ottocast Adaptor. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

Thanks for watching and commenting. If you have an Apple phone and want to use CarPlay, you must have a headset connected to the bike or have a jumper. The headset requirement for CarPlay is an apple thing. If you use an android phone and want to use Android Auto, no headset is necessary. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

Thanks for watching and commenting. Does android auto work when you have your phone plugged in? Have you connected the A2Air Pro to the phone first via Bluetooth at set up? Lastly do you have wifi turned on on your phone. After initial set up the connection between the phone and A2Air Pro is via wifi.

​@@HDVIBEI will try it again tomorrow. Thanks for responding. Will keep you posted.

It's a cool gadget that works very well. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👍👊

Man it would be nice if they would update the software for the older Boom system. Probably not going to happen. The new CVOs only have Carplay. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe and enjoy. 👊👍✌️

@@HDVIBEit would be nice. Can’t you upgrade a pre. 2019 boom GT to a GTS. I thought I saw a video on that

@brians1524 you can change to the new BOOM 6.5 GTS system. It's not cheap though.

It’s good they came with this for android owners ,great info👍👍

Thanks Darrell for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. Ride safe and enjoy. 👊✌️👍

Thanks for watching and commenting. If you have an Android phone you do not have to add a jumper. The jumper is only for Apple Carplay to trick the infotainment system into operating as if you have a WHIM installed with a headset operating. If you plug your phone into the USB port and Android Auto opens up, then the Ottocast Wireless adapter will work for you as shown in the video. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍

Thanks for watching and commenting. You stated a 25 street glide so I'm note sure if you meant a 2015 or a 2024. So in either case, the A2Air Pro will not work with either. However, if you meant a 2024, you can use the Ottocast Play2Video Pro to get Android Auto. I recently released a video on that product if you care to check that put. However, to use the Play2video Pro on the 2024, you must have Carplay enabled. Which means you need a headset connected to the Skyline OS or have a jumper to make the system think a headset is connected. This is an Apple requirement not Harley. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍

Are you using the USB cord that came with the adapter? If not, give that a try. Also is your phone somewhat close to the adapter? It seems like it's losing the connection to the phone. After the initial set up, mine connects without fail. On my Road Glide I usually put my phone in the same pocket with the adapter or zipped up in my jacket pocket.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I don't believe I've ever gotten that error message. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍

Thanks Jeff for watching and commenting. If you don't have the WHIM but have a hardwired headset into the infotainment system, then the U2Air will work to give wireless Carplay. I think I may have answered this on your other comment but Carplay will only work when a headset is plugged in or connected and active with the WHIM. The other key is having an Apple OEM cable or if you go the U2Air route using the supplied cable. The cables must be high quality or Carplay will be finicky. Thanks for your support and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

@@HDVIBE Thanks how do I purchase the U2air box and cable from you. I’ll give it a try. Jeff

@@HDVIBE one more question. Where shpuld I put my iPhone after connecting the U2air and does the phone need to be connected by Bluetooth. Please explain the hook up process again. I believe your earlier video was based on an Android not iPhone. Thanks I’m anxious to follow up on this mod.

@jeff1839 Go to the describption section on the video. There, you will find a direct link to the U2Air pro and a discount code HDVIBE to use at check out and save $30.

@jeff1839 The U2Air pro connects just like the A2Air pro as I demonstrated in the video. You must have the Bluetooth and wifi enabled on your phone. When the U2AIR pro is plugged in, you can out your phone anywhere on the bike.

Have you plugged your phone into the USB connection on your bike and Android Auto will pop up on the screen? If so, this wireless adapter will work. Basically if you have the BOOM 6.5 GTS Infotainment system on the bike it will work. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍

Thanks for watching and commenting. Unfortunately you can not use this on a 2016 Electra Glide. In order to use this adaptor you must have the BOOM 6.5 GTS Infotainment. That is the system that is on the 2019 to 2023 bikes. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. 👊👍✌️

Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes the Ottocast adaptor must be plugged in during use. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👍👊

Thanks for watching and commenting. I only have the Harley branded wireless headset and have not problems when using Google assistant with Android Auto. I'm don't use Carplay as I have and Android phone. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. ✌️👊👍

Thanks for watching and commenting. This will not work on a 2015 Electra Glide. As noted in the video you must have an infotainment unit that has Android Auto capabilities. The 2015 infotainment system does not have Androud Auto capability. You must have the infotainment system from 2019 to 2023. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍

Thanks Larry. Ride safe and enjoy. 👊✌️👍

If the bike has the BOOM 6.5 GTS Infotainment system, it will work for Android Auto. For Apple Carplay to work you must have a WHIM or a jumper installed as I mentioned in the video. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

@@HDVIBEI have a 2023 TriGlide with the 6.5 GTS Boombox, perfectly standard on this new model. I’m trying to figure out why Apple Car Play sometimes works without a WHIM or any other gadgets. My headset is plugged in and iPhone plugged to the USB connection in that cramped little cubby. I rest the iPhone in the air vent opening which works fine. But like I say it’s a hit/miss deal if Car Play wants to boot up. Can you help me understand what’s going on here. The dealership service guys have no clue. Thanks much for your videos. Jeff

So often times the USB cord that is used causes the issues. If you are not using the Apple cord, then try that. You mentioned the WHIM...do you have the WHIM on your bike or is your headset the hardwired type? If you are using the WHIM, you need to make sure your headset is on and connected to the infotainment system...if it isn't, Apple Carplay will not pop up on the screen. If your headset is hardwired and plugged in, my guess is the USB cord you are using could be the issue.

Thanks for watching and commenting. If you use Android Auto...whim not necessary. If you use an apple product and wsnt carplay...then you need the WHIM to enable a headset. For Carplay to work, a headset is required...but not the case for Android Auto. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I do believe the code still works. You need to use the links in the description section, then put HDVIBE in as the code when you are ready to check out. I've seen the code used as recently as a day or so ago. If you are already a subscriber to the channel.. thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so.

I was going to say the same thing. Used your affiliate link. Entered code at checkout. Says the discount code doesn’t apply to the item. Womp womp

@teganlewis2284 Sometimes if the product is discount more via the link, they won't apply the additional discount. I will check with them on this. Thanks for your support. 👊✌️👍

If you are using android auto, you do not need the WHIM. But if you are using Apple Carplay, you will need a WHIM or a jumper in order for Carplay to function on the infotainment system. If you want the infotainment system to play through a headset via Bluetooth, you will need to add a WHIM to the bike. I also have a video on the channel covering how to install the WHIM. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👍👊

@@HDVIBE ok thanks, weird my JD dealer told me I could buy a sena/HD intercom a'd it will work without whim for music and pho'e call. Weird. Thanks anyway!

@manticora694 it will work but only be connected directly to your phone. It will not connect to the infotainment system without the WHIM. The WHIM is the module that will connect the SENA headset to the infotainment system. Then you get full functionality such as voice controlling the infotainment system etc. 👍

@@HDVIBE oh ok, so for music and sound volume or GPS information I won't get it in the intercom or being able to decrease raise volume of the infotainment from the controllers on the handlebar? So complicated

That is correct.

Thanks for watching and commenting. If you have an Android Phone, you get the A2Air Pro. If you have an Apple Phone, you get the U2Air Prp. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

If you are referring to the head unit on the new 2023 CVO street glide or Road Glide, you only have Apple Carplay available. I also believe that it has wireless Apple Carplay as part of the system. If this is not your question, please clarify. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👍👊

@@HDVIBE thanks...I have a 2020 Road Glide Special with the PMX HD14 head unit that Rockford Fosgate came out with some months ago.

@abdulmateen19 If it has Android Auto or Apple Carplay capability then it should work. If you can plug your phone in and get those capabilities then the wireless Ottocast adapter should work. 👊👍✌️

Thanks for watching and for the question. Have you tried plugging in the phone to the USB to see if Android Auto pops up? You must have Android Auto app loaded on your phone as well. Also you must use the cable that came with the A2 Air Pro. Hopefully these will get you going. 👊✌️👍

@@HDVIBE, phone has AndroidAuto, tried plugging in phone to usb cable while bike was switched off turned on pwer nothing popped up. Tried Ottocast with its cable, same result. Got ottocast prgrammed to phone, wifi and bluetooth. Even tried unpairing phone from bike and deleted z fold 3 phone off system. Now I cant get phone to pair back up. Checked software update on Harley site and have latest version installed. On top of that my phone started, what appeared, downloading files to the system. I am stumped. Turned everything off. Try again in the morning. Just hope i haven't created a problem.

@TheRtd304 It's odd that it's not popping up when the phone is plugged in. If it's not popping up with the phone plugged into the bike, then the A2Air pro won't work either. Getting the phone to pop up Android Auto is the key.

@@HDVIBE , hope i can just get it to pair back up phone will not recognize BOOMGTS..my friends apple worked just fine on it, go figure, thanks for getting back to me, if u come up with any ideas let me know.

@TheRtd304 I will do so. 👍

If you don't have a WHIM or a plug in headset, you will need a jumper for Carplay to be enabled on the BOOM 6.5 GTS Infotainment system. Thanks for watching.

@@HDVIBE already come with 19 cvo model a WHIM or a plug in headset. compatible with U2AirPro for Apple CarPlay. so, any kind of issue connection or battery power drain ?

@jd777cvo30 No power drain issues. The U2 Air Pro should be a winner for you. Just remember with Carplay you have to have the headset turned on for carplay to pop up on the screen. That's and Apple thing. 👊✌️👍

Any kind of connection or battery power drain?

@jd777cvo30 None at all. I leave mine plugged in at all times. It powers off when the bike turns off.

This will not work on a 2015 electra glide. This will work on 2019 to 2023 bikes with the BOOM GTS 6.5 infotainment system. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍👊✌️

There is a direct link in the description and a discount code as well. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👍👊

Thanks Randy for watching and subscribing to the channel. So this adapter will allow Android Auto to work with the infotainment system without wires. In order to get your headset to connect to the infotainment system, you need to have a WHIM. The WHIM is the way to get connections between a Bluetooth headset and the infotainment system. No other way to do so. I do have a video showing how to install the WHIM into the infotainment system so you can save the install cost. 👊✌️👍

Thanks for watching and commenting. The discount code should still be active. Use the link noted in description then use the code at check out.

Thanks Scott. 👊✌️👍

Thank you. 👊✌️👍

Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your input on the topic. I use this adapter for more than just music...essentially mimicking the phone screen on your infotainment screen so you aren't fumbling with a phone while riding to get music, GPS etc. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍

Looks good. However, can I use a cable splitter one side to charge my android phone a the other for the unit?

@titomenendez5556 Thanks for watching and commenting. I do not know if the unit would work utilizing a splitter. On my Street Glide I charge my phone using the power from the cigarette style power port. Same on the Road Glide. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Just to clarify the current price is $119.99 plus if you use the discount code it's at $89.99. I'm sure there are other products out there that function similarly, I would caution that you need to look at reviews and technical specs to ensure you are getting a quality product.
