I had zero intent to use myspin. if it isn't connected to CarPlay I don't want it. just stick to phone to helmet and be done with it. when my phone calls, I just say answer and my sena answers. I don't ignore calls so meh. moot for me.

 

YES. This is a garbage APP. Suzuki MySPIN crashes on Samsung S22 Ultra .

 

I work from home and I work for offices in our company all over the country so there are times I’d like to see who’s calling.

When you work from home the company expects you to be available after hours and on the weekends.

where do you keep phone? they make a bunch of mounts that go right between handlebars. I personally used ram mount. you can see it here. it didn't block display or anything

 

I don’t mount my phone to the bike anymore. Vibration killed my camera on the last one using a ram Xgrip. I tote it in the tank bag or my left front pocket on my jeans.

 

My phone camera got ruined on my Ram mount...just got back from California (5800 kms) with a Quad Lock with a dampener ...worked great!
I'm looking forward to hooking my phone/Sena up to MySpin

 

Careful about putting in your jeans, and friend broke his that way!!

 

Only issue that I’ve had doing so is lint in the power plug which is easily picked out with a toothpick. I don’t tote it in my back pockets just front.

 

I paid 12-15 a gallon in 2011-2012 can't remember exact amount, ridiculous amount though. (Unalaska dutch harbor) but thats because its a **** island, and everything is brought out by a boat. and the entire island is run on Diesel engines running 24/7 (my gf' at the times dad was one of the 4 people running the power plant)

anyway, its a pretty place, literally 1 gallon last a week there. as everything a 5 minute walk unless you drive around the frontier part of the island where its just for fun.

I hear ya....I live on an island

 

I really like the idea of the myspin. Not for calls, calendar or intercom but for navigation. Unfortunately my preferred touring app is Calimoto which is not supported by myspin. I tried for a few weeks now but I dont find a possibility to transfer the trips I planned with calimoto 1:1 to one of the supported apps like rever or sygic. So for the moment I only use rever/sygic if have to get from a-b real quick.

 

My problem is you need a special case yeah? I can’t give up my apple leather w MagSafe wallet :/ or I’d get one

 

Yea I don't like that part either

 

I know about those several friends use them I am just not into having my phone in front of me on the bars. I thought this Myspin would solve that for me and where ever my phone as kept I'd still see info on the dash but nope this is a headache in of itself with the cardo and my phone back to Myspin. Nothing to do with Cardo it is one of the main apps already on the Myspin main menu. Not sure what is up, operator error, **** I don't know but I followed their instructions twice maybe 5 times already same results. Have to re pair my cardo to my phone once Myspin is turned off with bike.

 

Well I can somewhat say I have some of it figured out and it is not to my liking. Got the Cardo connect app and rever app to work. The cardo app is quirky the way it wants the phone connected to the headset but the myspin kinda over steps that part. Rever looks cool and works great except no way to actually exit out of it except stop the myspin app on your phone to lose frame transmission. That is stupid. Those are the only two apps it is picking up off my phone and no music apps will work with myspin connected to the phone that I have. Once I get cardo connect connected in myspin I can see my riding group I am currently in but no way to change that i see to other groups I have on my phone. I have spent way to much time on this. I am going back to just riding a motorcycle instead of fiddling with its built in gadgets that don't work correctly or talk to each other like the glossy ads suggested.

 

yeah, big con to me. CarPlay is the way. everyone should be adopting it. not anything else.

 

The biggest issue with Carplay is not the app itself but what Apple want for the licencing fee to allow manufacturers to use it. There are car manufacturers here that have a better system on one of the models but not so much in another model of the same brand because of the cost of that very licence. This would be why Suzuki is using their own app aka ( My spin ) I have not got my bike and won't have it until the first quarter of 2023 as most will know. I hope there may be some updates that improve the experience of connecting a coms unit. If not I will be happy just using the old fashion Mobile to Cardo system that works as I like it to and never had an issue using it that way.

 

I'll give a report soon on how my Sena works with it....I sure hope it does as one of the reasons I'm so excited about this bike is being able to leave my phone in my pocket

 

Good luck😬

 

Took me a while to figure it all out, I've now got a bike playlist in Apple Music which I just select to play as the other menus with letter bandings is just hard work. So music is fine now, some of the Sat Nav (Revo ?) wouldn't let me out of the Nav but Sygic is fine and I've upgraded the App now so it speaks and has cameras showing.

Got the hang of it if you do go back to far in the menus back to the bikes main screen you press back again to go back to the MYSpin App not the top button as you do originally to get into MySpin. I use a Sena 5 on my helmet.

 

Myspin is not Suzuki it is by Bosch

 

Ok the system linked up and worked accordingly later yesterday afternoon. My wifi at the house interferes with it on start up but easily solved on the fly and do not expect that out in the open. The REVER and Cardo connect app work as they should and my headset waits to be connected once I tap on cardo connect in the myspin page. It shows my grouping and I see no way to change that group in the myspin cardo connect. I can only mute volume and turn back on in that app on myspin. I assume you must go to the phones cardo connect app to change the grouping which will momentarily knock you out of myspin. Myspin must run open on your phone constantly for this all to work and you cannot simply go to the home page on your phone and pull up another app if so the system loses its communication with the phone and you get the lost frame transmission error on bikes dash until you pull myspin app back to the front on your phone. Quirky system if you ask me and do not forget to turn auto lock off on your iphone that will cause it to lose the connection as well. I plan to head out with it all on tomorrow morning on my trip with 2 other guys who all have the cardo and are in my group I have selected on the cardo connect. If it gives me issues along the 450 mile trip I'll can the myspin and turn it off and go straight cardo to phone cause that works great and I can stream music on my music apps off my phone cannot do that in myspin because it doesn't support the music apps I use and I have not found any music apps that work in myspin. I suspect the first time I lose cell service on my phone the cardo is not gonna work either so that will buzz kill this whole thing for me unless the cardo's dynamic mesh keeps me communicating with the other guys outside of the myspin hookup I'm ok with that. I am making a whole hearted effort to like this but it honestly is more trouble than it is worth.

 

Yesterday I was able to connect to mySPIN and pull up navigation, though I didn't ride with it (it's been wet out and besides I had some after-stressful-work Irish Cream with Kahlua, heh).
The mySPIN manual that you get to from the phone app shows that you can connect to "third-party applications", but neither the app nor the bike mySPIN menus show that option. Does anyone have more info on that? I'd like to be able to try Google Maps or maybe Waze... they redirect based on traffic and also show where police are hiding.

Don't think it will run any 3rd Party Apps just the ones it shows like Rever, Genuis, Sygic etc.??

 

The first pic is a screenshot directly from the manual, and the second is a screenshot of the same menu page from the app in my phone...

 

The app you want to use must be supported by Myspin or it won’t show up. In my case only my REVER app and cardo connect show up as available in Myspin.

 

I wouldn't have thought so, but the way they put it makes it sound so. Probably not so.
shrug

 

I think if you just select Nav it uses Apple Maps as well if you like that.

 

No to Apple Maps...
Does that depend on whether you have IOS or Android? If I am in the mySPIN app in phone mode (not connected to the bike) and I tap on the Maps icon, it opens up the Google Maps app on my phone. That had me thinking maybe it uses Google Maps as a default, but it seems very different on the bike (though as mentioned, I haven't ridden with it yet).

 

I've an iphone so IOS and it opens Apple Maps not Google Maps on my App ??

 

I have an iPhone too so hoping there is a software update that fixes all the issues with MYspin by the time my bike arrives in the country early next year. I hoping but it is a dream that they (aka Suzuki) also add heated Grips as standard on the 2023 models.

 

Ok I have everything working in Myspin. I have cardo working and now music. Bosch lost a few apps that run through Myspin from your phone. Cardo is one and DASH radio is another. Both work fine on my setup. They list accuweather as another app but it’s not feee past 7 day trial. Would be nice to have a weather app up on a trip. I might pay them a little while and see how it works. The DASH radio app works pretty good the limited time I e used it so far. Cool to see it all on the dash and toggle through what you want to here. I have not messed around with the REVER navigation app much but I think to really navigate on it similar to my Harmon I’ll have to pay them. I still have my garmin mounted to the bike. The base map in the bike works good to see a larger map picture. It’s just not a navigation app but will take you to somewhere if you type it in. All of this is phone based so you cannot jump around on your phone to do other stuff you must stay in the Myspin and that app must be open always no auto lock or you’ll get the “lost frame transmission” on the dash of the bike. It’ll reconnect instantly once you reopen the Myspin app. Hope this all helps a few here trying to figure this out with weak instructions. Bosch has a website that I found more helpful to what I wanted than Suzukis manual.

mySPIN for two-wheelers

Using mySPIN, smartphones can be connected very easily to the vehicle’s display to provide riders with access to their phone content.

I am using the OnePlus N10 5G, however, I am losing connection and in order to reconnect I need to stop
The dash idea is great, however, the realization is poor.
Why I cannot connect with the USB?
Why it is unstable (at least on my phone)
Why we should be limited to some apps? The original mySpin app has more apps available.
I paired with my sena, and sometimes, the music stops working.
My phone becomes very hot

Is it my phone?

 

Is your phone in auto lock never mode ? I have to do this on the iphone otherwise it does what you say.

 

Yes, it is, sometimes it works for 1 hours, sometimes for 20 minutes
The connection is shown on the dash, and if I stop and connect to the myspin from the dash without touch the phone sometime works.
The phone is connected to a power source too

 

So I will only use for Nav, I have the trial of rever and it is coming up and I can see the directions but no map. I don’t know if anyone else has had this problem?
