Using Honda RoadSync
Q. Why do I have to grant the app various permissions?
The Honda RoadSync app needs to be granted various permissions in order to access and operate data and functions required for infotainment features such as navigation, voice calls, messaging and music. These features will not be available if the required permissions are not granted.
Q. The handlebar switch does not activate the app.
There are two modes: Honda RoadSync mode and Meter mode. Once connected to the Honda RoadSync app, long-pressing the left button on the handlebar switches to activate the Honda RoadSync mode, and long-pressing the right button switches to get in to Meter mode.
Q. How do I shutdown Honda RoadSync?
If the Auto Connect / Disconnect setting is ON (default: ON), the app automatically shuts down once the motorcycle turned off and the Bluetooth connection is terminated.
Shutting down from the app screen:
Select Quit from the top left menu on the Dashboard screen.
Shutting down from your smartphone:
Select force-quit from App info.
Q. Which functions can I use without a headset?
You can connect your smartphone and motorcycle via Bluetooth, view operation instructions in tutorial mode, add favourites, and change app settings.
As Honda RoadSync is designed for voice input and feedback, Honda recommends you use the app with suitable motorcycle headsets.
Q. Where do I place my smartphone?
To ensure safe operation and to avoid dropping your smartphone, always keep your smartphone on yourself, and not on the motorcycle. Your smartphone is connected wirelessly by Bluetooth and can be operated by the handlebar switch and voice control. Concentrate on riding, not on the screen.
Q. What is the difference between “App language” and “Feedback language” in the language settings?
“App language” sets the language the app uses on your screen.
“Feedback language” sets the voice feedback language.
Check both language settings, as your preference for feedback language may be available, even if it is not available as the app’s display language.
