DMD-T665 as a Motorcycle Navigation Device – Long-Term Review

[AWDC LAO]

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MR.MRA
Lijkt mij zeker de moeite waard, maar dan geraak ik mijn Carpe Iter V4c niet meer aan de straatstenen kwijt.

@Adrian-Avram No issues at all with mijn iPhone 12 mini of even with my iPhone Pro 12 Max.

I also started using a T665 with MRA. Does the Silverfox C1 works in both modes, wire-cable and bluetooth, with MRA?

@ConiKost
I have the Silverfox C1 >>> according my information, the C1 only works with Bluetooth.

Check this post.... It was already an issue for other users.

@Peter-Zehentreiter according to SilverFox it's best to use it with Bluetooth

I know...I just answered @ConiKost

Thank you. Does this also apply to other controller variants (also non Silverfox). Based on https://unterstutzung.myrouteapp.com/de/support/solutions/articles/12000103174-bluetooth-controllers I would think, that every controller needs to be bluetooth, right?

@ConiKost I’m afraid I can’t say for certain about the other controllers available on the market.

However, every Silverfox model is Bluetooth-compatible.

If you’d prefer a different product, I’d recommend visiting the manufacturer’s website directly.

As for Silverfox, I can only say that the quality is excellent and it works really well with MRA too.

Just asking, as I have not yet decided what to do. I am not against bluetooth, just wanted to know, if it's a must or not, when choosing a controller for me. Silverfox is nice. But my problem is more difficult, as I don't have any place to mount it on handlebar and currently thinking about other mounting methods. Silverfox C1 may be an option, but I have to see.

Am I right, that for example Silverfox can be powered by T665 cable splitter, but connected via bluetooth, right? Does the splitter cable output 12V or 5V? Since its behind the converter box, I would expect 5V, but somehow Google tells me 12V?

I don’t know what sort of motorbike you ride.
On my GS, I had to move the left-hand mirror inwards just a little... but it fits quite well and I don’t need a special homemade mount.

Concerning your question about connecting the T665 , I'm using the Silverfox in connection with a regular Smartphone, so I cannot answer this question.
