Compatibility Scala & BMW system

[Pierre47]

Is the BMW communication system on a GT 1600 compatible with any Scala system?

I'll appreciate answers based on experience not on supposition.

 

Thanks.

Pierre, if you are talking about the BMW GPS, I've heard it's made by Garmin. My Garmin Zumo 660 was more trouble to pair to the Scala units than it should have been, but it can be done. Procedure below. Note: This was to a separate GPS on my R12ST. The K1600 may have an integrated system that could complicate more, I don't know?

 

To resolve your connection issue you must reset the devices and create all new pairings.

 

Please do a soft reset of the phone or GPS by deleting the headset from the phone or GPS and turning the phone/GPS off for at least 15 seconds and taking out the battery, if possible.

 

Then you must reset the Q2 PRO unit.

 

1. Perform FULL PAIRING RESET (not Intercom Pairing reset) to all Q2 PRO’s.

2. With the Q2 PRO powered on press and hold the control button until the unit begins to flash red and blue. (Note it will look like it is turning off; keep holding the Control Button in until it comes back on, Red and Blue alternating.)

3. With the LED flashing red and blue, press and hold ONLY the volume up button for 5 seconds until the unit flashes blue (light purple) 4 to 5 times and then flashes red 3 times and turns off.

4. You have now reset your Q2 PRO.

 

 

 

Next you must re-pair any Bluetooth connections previously connected, starting with Q2 PRO to Q2 PRO intercom pairings.

 

 

When attempting to pair your Q2 PRO with and additional Q2 PRO you must follow these steps:

 

1. Make sure that both Q2 PRO’s are powered on.

2. Press and hold the control button and MC button simultaneously until the headset begins flashing red rapidly. Repeat this process on the 2nd Q2 PRO.

3. Both headsets will flash red until they are connected. After they establish a connection each headset will begin flashing blue at approximately the same time.

 

It is possible to connect up to two headsets to your Q2 PRO. To add a 2nd Q2 PRO to your headset repeat the intercom pairing process from the beginning.

 

 

If you are pairing a phone and GPS the phone must be paired to the GPS and not the Q2 PRO as this will cause connection issues.

 

When attempting to pair the Q2 PRO headset with a Bluetooth enabled phone the phone must support the ability to pair to Bluetooth headsets. It is necessary to place the headset into pairing mode before trying to discover it with the phone. To do this you must:

 

1. Make sure the Q2 PRO is powered on.

2. Press and hold the Mobile button until the headset flashes Red and Blue. . (Note it will look like it is turning off; keep holding the Control Button in until it comes back on, Red and Blue alternating.)

3. Now search for a Bluetooth enabled headset from the Phone system you are pairing the Q2 PRO with.

4. After your device finds the Q2 PRO you will be prompted to enter a passkey. The passkey for the Q2 PRO is (0000).

2. Press and hold the Up Volume button until the headset flashes Purple.

Scala G4 and a new R12RT? No if you consider only 1 in 20 pairings being successful....and then dropping the link on the next handshake. One could assume the KGT uses the same BT.

 

[CoarsegoldKid]

And of course the G9 is different. Call Scala.

Thanks for the reply...I'll call Scala.
