BMW System 6 BT Communication System

I have a Sys 6 helmet with BMW's BT comms fitted, and it works brilliantly (and so it should for the exorbitant price they charge).

At present it's paired to the BMW Navigator III+ (rebadged Garmin 2850 Streetpilot) on my K12GT.

However, I've recently acquired a Streepilot 2850 that's now fitted to my F8GS.

Does anyone know if the BT will pair to both sat nav units (not in use at the same time :) ). I know the obvious answer is to try it but before I go down the unpairing, pairing and repairing route I just wanted to check if anyone else had done similar and been successful or not?

I don't think so, but am prepared to be proved wrong.

Do you mean a Garmin 2820? not aware of a 2850.

The 2820 was the culmination of the 2610/2720 with better graphics and faster I think?

Still a good unit, but bulky in a lot of applications.

But - if it fits your bikes, a good robust unit.

Happy to report that just pairing the two as a new pair has been successful and the helmet is happily connecting to both sat nav units :)
