Sena SMH5

Have 2 x Sena SMH5.  When these are first switched on intercom between Senas is inoperative and Scenic sat nav commands can be heard by driver. To get intercom to work driver has to activate by toggling Sena SMH5 Switch. However when intercom is active sat nav commands to driver stop. Sena says priority is phone, sat nav, intercom and finally music. I have tried setting Scenic in both Default Device and HFP mode but no change. Any ideas welcome

I'm afraid I don't really have an answer to this. There are some other people with the same problem. All with the SMH5. Doesn't seem to be a Scenic only problem as same problem with Google Maps occurs too: https://scenic.app/forum/topic/using-scenic-with-sena-smh5/

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

I started the original topic and since then have done many hours and routes using Senic and  the intercom. The issue is with Sena who like all these companies (Garmin etc) fail to keep up with iOS updates and app changes.  Same reason Hey Siri does not work even though it should with the SMH5.

I’m used to it now and find it works fine and Scenic and the Sena co exist very nicely.  I just leave it on output ‘device default’ and toggle the intercom on/off when needed.

It randomly overrode intercom if set to output as phone call but was not reliable so I use it as above.

Long experience with both 5 & 10. We use only the most simple, basic functions. I do not use gps voice ever. Scenic has nothing to do with my Sena problems.  Sena have been inconsistent, unpredictable & often  simply useless.
