[Yamaha Navigation issue]

I will take a couple of guesses here. The signature of the bike is on the USB stick correct? What format is the USB stick in? It should be Fat32. I know the bike is very particular on the type of USB drive. You may want to try a 8 GB. You should also receive a USB stick from Yamaha. Mine was mailed to me. I believe the activation code is good, it is the type or format of the USB drive that is causing the problem.

 

 

Hi All.

 

Wondering if anyone has had this problem: I purchased a 16 gig USB drive and downloaded the info from my new 2018 Star Venture. I also downloaded the Toolbox software to my home computer and inserted the USB to activate my navigation system. The toolbox must have recognized my USB because it asked me for the activation code which was revealed when I scratched the bottom of the plastic card I received when I bought the bike. Unfortunately it has rejected my activation code. No matter how many times I have tried, it still does not allow me to get any information upload onto my bike's system. Why would my activation code be rejected? My dealership is clueless.

 

Thanks ahead of time. Hope you can help.

I have an SV with a Sena Freewire setup and I know that on mine, there is a bit of a delay, i.e., I have to depress the button for almost a second before it actuates. Don't know if this is the same as your issue or not.

 

I tried your method and no go for me. Held the button 10 seconds and nothing changed. Thanks for the reply though.

Man, are you telling me I've had c.b. all this time and didn't realize it? I'll be. I did read in the manual that if you had it, all persons had to stay at least 22" away from the antenna. It must be pretty potent. I guess if TWater, the o.p., doesn't mind being sterile for the rest of his life, he's okay.

I have the Eluder GT which of course has the CB radio. The radio is receiving chatter so I know it is receiving properly. Upon pressing the Push to Talk switch, it does nothing. The music doesn't stop or anything happens at all. I have confirmed that the switch does operate through the inspection mode option. Can someone confirm this function works? I have read the manual many times and I haven't come up with the answer. What setting do I need to change for this to work?

 

I am using the J&M blue tooth setup (DNG44) which plugs into the passenger connector which I think maybe the problem.

I had my helmet speakers set up at J&M when I purchased the GT last April. I ended up being able to just purchase a helmet from them that already had the speakers installed. Now though, I don't keep the GT down here. For this area I use one of my RoadStars.

I bought a new HJC helmet and J&M installed the 45 MM speakers into it while I waited. I had an issue after I got home. Pairing it with my phone the music sounded very compressed and awful. I called them the next morning and said to come back in. They swapped out the Bluetooth unit for another new one and then it was fine. The first helmet speakers that actually have bass. I am very happy with the helmet part.

 

The Bluetooth for the motorcycle is a expensive weight in my left saddle bag right now. What is not very clear on J&M's website is that you need the Yamaha passenger headset cable to make it go. Part number 2DG-H25B0-V0-00 in case anyone else is reading this. I assume this is only on the Eluder as the Venture already comes with the 7 pin socket. I have one on order and it should arrive this week.

Summers in CO where there are lots of rides out of that western city. Winters in Wickenburg, AZ where there are not so many rides any time of year real close. In AZ it's down towards Gila Bend, over to Bagdad or up to Prescott. But the winter upper rides are rather chilly.

We ought to meet up in Gila Bend sometime and compare our GT's. I winter down here in Tucson. I just had the J&M Bluetooth setup installed on my bike. They are located right here in Tucson so I went direct to the factory.

I plan on purchasing the Eluder GT in a few months and have a question to anyone who already owns one. Do all the locking compartments lock automatically when you walk away and the security system engages?

I'm glad to hear that your comfortable on the bike at your height. I have 2 inches on you standing at 6' 5". I did take a test ride when the factory truck came through this area a couple of weeks ago. My legs have most of my height but I felt I had enough room and was comfortable. The handlebars were a bit low for my liking but they can be adjusted up easily.

 

I plan on buying the Eluder this December. I retired last year but I am going back to work this summer in order to afford buying it. I currently ride the Stratoliner. I loved the bike but it felt crude after riding the Eluder.
