I have just taken delivery of my 2022 (White K1600GTL) and getting on well with the TFT and Nav etc. Great bike, the only show in town in my opinion. Still waiting for the charging wire, so phone battery doesn't last long (2 hrs) with the Navigation running on it. The radio, media and phone function all work well with my helmet (BMW communicator system on Series 6 helmet). The last piece of the jigsaw is to get the passenger helmet intercom working.
I have successfully paired both helmets to the bike, though surprisingly the choice of either helmet appears to be selectable into the rider position or the passenger position. When the rider helmet connects, a helmet icon appears in the display to show the connection is active. Should a second helmet icon appear when the passenger helmet connects, or do you only ever see one helmet icon on the display?. I only ever see one hemet icon on the display, despite having my wife's helmet paired to the passenger helmet position.
Lastly, how do you activate the intercom so that you can talk to one another? When radio is selected you can hear that in both helmets, so it seems the passenger helmet connection is definitely active. So far, no intercom though. Any one have any ideas on this? How do you activate intercom and how are the other sound sources handled when intercom is active? The manual seems to be silent on it.
