Personally I believe there is an element of barking up the wrong tree. I have an identical issue with audio off SD but also issue with phone calls.
Explore app ditched long ago and media blocked coming off phone. I get the issue across multiple headsets and phones and on my 2nd XT1. Garmin support ...

@Mzokk, I have a Packtalk Bold and an iPhone connected to my XT. I had to turn off voice navigation on the XT when intercom-connected to my pillion or another rider because of how disruptive it was to intercom communication, completely silencing it and then taking a number of seconds to restore it ...

@baz-R Are you using the Tread app? That can add a load to Bluetooth.

I have my XT2 paired to my Sena 10C only. I also have my Samsung galaxy phone paired to the Sena.

sena tech rep tested it and said the issue was with the garmin xt but guess ...

"Baz-r, so can you share just exactly what components you are using"

yeah sorry its not easy and quite a complex set of issues and I have tried quite a lot of variables but essentially iv come back to the garmin not playing nicely over BT and to be honest I find the units very glitchy and not at ...

I have tried to isolate as much as I could

Can't be the bike because I have the same issues away on the bench or with the bike not running?

Today I tried the no apps but that's not solved it either. The XT is old and dated but still a current product line with MC shops selling them new plus ...

i dont know if it helps bt i have a Samsung A34 5G and also been having BT connection issues and MP3 off sd issues and the samsung has been called into question but im also questioning the garmin apps

excuse the pun but but i really am going loopy or trying to get my XT just to "work" or even play nicely with BT devices but all will pair up fine

firstly Think i have been around the houses and I'm not referring to the strange routing of the xt but in support? garmin blame my phone or my headset ...
