Question. So every once in awhile I use the menu button on the left grip to check tire pressure or outside temp. In order to get back to carplay, I have to use the directional to move to the carplay symbol, and hit the enter button.
Anyone found a way to map some sort of custom button on the grips to take you back to Carplay no matter where you are in menus?
Thanks in advance,

 

I recently switched to the Tour screen display. This affords me my CarPlay and all the data that I need without switching back and forth.

I don’t need the Tach feature.

 

Nope, no way I found. I just memorized “Menu-Right-Up-Enter”.

Could press Menu and touch CarPlay icon.

Or press VOX and say CarPlay.

 

anyone found how to get Siri to sound louder? I have done the trick of volume up when she is activated. still sounds low compared to the regular audio.

 

On a bike with the BOOM GTS ('24 bikes with the OEM tourpack), Siri is loud when using Carplay, useless (inaudible) when Carplay is not on.
I have searched for this, and supposedly, you can give Siri a command to increase it's own volume (e.g., Siri, Talk louder) -- but no luck.

 

The instructions below assume you have a headset with a functioning microphone.

Pressing the Phone/Voice Recognition button above the right turn signal does two things. A quick tap will open the embedded SkylineOS voice recognition. A female voice will ask for a command. A longer press, (over 1/2 second) will bypass the embedded voice recognition and activate Siri instead. You'll hear the 'bonk' letting you know Siri is listening.

You can't activate Carplay using the embedded SkylineOS voice recognition. It will ignore you if you say Carplay. If you say "open Carplay it will respond with something like "Hmm, it seems the application is not installed".

With a 1/2 second press of the voice recognition button, not only does Siri go active, but the Carplay screen will pop up on the display as well. If Siri doesn't hear a command after about 5 seconds it will time out and the Carplay screen will disappear. You'll revert back to whatever non-Carplay screen that was showing.

To keep the screen on the display, as soon as Siri goes active and Carplay pops up, say "open [someapp]. (eg 'open maps') Siri will open that app and Carplay will remain on the screen from then on.

To sum up.. The voice recognition button acts as a hotkey to return to Carplay, but without a microphone to issue commands, Carplay won't remain on the screen for long. You'll have to go back to the traditional way opening the main menu then clicking on the icon.

 

This is the answer. Just set it today and yup, has everything I need. I even prefer the digital MPH.
Thank you sir.

 

I could live with the tour mode 95% of the time if they even just had a little digital tach under the MPH. I switch to it when I'm out on the superslab, but prefer the Sport view most of the time. I wish they had a survey to ask users what they would like to see changed on the display, the MOCO made some dumb decisions. I wonder if the programmers that set up the layout(s) even ride or travel on a motorcycle. They obviously don't use the GPS.
