Er, well! Ere's the thing! It still doesn't work properly.
The second video was the most instructive and wayyyyy more helpful than the bloody stupid Sena user manual which goes to great lengths to explain HOWto do things, but not WHY you might want to do it; nothing about 'if you want to use the phone from the Garmin', oh no, nothing as useful as that!
When I looked into all the crooks and nannies of my set up, I discovered that I had the iPhone paired with the Sena and the Garmin and the Sena paired with the Garmin also. Easy mistake to make I keep telling myself.
So, I told everything to forget everything else, turned everything off and started again, following the perfectly clear and easily understood (even by a muppet like me
) directions in the video.
It all worked as shown but a) testing a phone connection when you have a dodgy phone connection and are not in the same room as the person to whom you are trying to explain what you are doing, and b) trying to ring yourself on the house phone while wearing your skid lid is a bit like trying to hold a sensible conversation with yourself while under the influence.
However, despite much much screeching and wailing from my cordless phone, Garmin and iPhone all being in my hands at the same call didn't cut off like it did on the Wrinklies trip, so that, at least, is something
So, the jury is out till the weekend possibly.
One thing I noticed which I have never seen before is that when I rang my mobile from my house phone, the iPhone (which, of course, is usually in my jacket pocket) burst into life and rang like it does on an normal call but wanted me to choose from an endless list of options for answering the phone; never did it in the old days as far as I know and certainly never does it in the car with the Audi phone prep? The Garmin behaved perfectly normally, showing me there was an incoming call and asking me to Accept or Reject it.
So, mysteriouser and mysteriouser mister!
More anon....
