Honda have solved a problem that never existed in the first place .... The fact that you can't see any GPS display on the bike's instrumment pannel, makes Road Sync a white elephant, imho ....
Hi, thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Can I ask if you know is this system the same as the one on the new X-ADV 750 / Forza ? And I know you love the 350 but did you ever consider the larger 750 X-ADV . I have the first series X-ADV 750 2018 but it doesnt have the connect system, but I love it. Also, I remember from your year after video you mention some pet hates / dislikes. I can report that I get 73.7 for my average since ownership and 6,000 miles use, which I think is outstanding. I have had the average on a long run upto 88mpg when used in grandad mode tootling along within the limits. Thanks once again.
Hi, thanks for the comments, I'm not sure whether the 750 has roadsync, but I would imagine it has. I didn't consider the 750 personally because I only wanted a small economical bike mainly for getting to work and back, I didn't realise just how capable this 350 would be .,thanks again for watching 👍
ive been looking for a tutorial on this everywhere. hondas video is no use. i pick my adv up in sept, and wanted to know how to use this. weldone. im looking at a cardo bluetooth, but not high end.
hi just to mention they've ypdated the app so you can toggle between the dash display and app menu by long press right and to get back long press left . its in the apps tutorial now 👍
i watched you're " after a year vid " and saw it was not not on the app then, so its pretty recent update. like youre vids, i agree about the bike needing a hand brake for hills. 👍
Do you realize this app records, stores and probably sends somewhere all the trips you do on your scooter? Or do you really like ”Big Brother” watching you? An ”old school” GPS receiver, with updated charts is better.
I have a old sh300 and do a lot of camping I always park Very close to my tent with that keyless ignition can someone start your bike when you're in your tent or can you disable it? Thanks for the great videos
Yes you can disable the smart key by holding the button until the led goes red then no starting is possible. Thanks for watching and you're kind comment 👍
They don't have a engine temperature gauge, you just get a overheating light come up on the screen if it overheats. Luckily it's never happened to me . Thanks for watching 👍
To be honest I think the beep is so quite I can't hear it either but I just pause a second then say my command and it works for me ,try just saying your command and see if that works. Thanks for watching
Hi thanks for watching, the only thing I can suggest ,when you're phone is connected ,in Bluetooth make sure you allow audio and calls .hope this helps 👍
I do not like two things: - impossoble to run app when not conected to ADV - only voice interface to search for destination EDIT: I did hope 'navigation' here means you have arrows pointing straight, right or left. NO. It does not display such information ('for safety reason'). More, ignition must be ON to connect with ADV. So this is piece of crap.
This app request too much access to my phone, and for what? For using scooter handlebar buttons to control my phone? There is a simple BT helmet headset available for that, or even the phone earbuds. Moreover, talking on the phone while driving and esecially riding, diminishes the driver/ rider attention by around 40%, even with hands-free, as some statistics say. Usually, I don't make or take phone calls while driving/riding. Eventually, I find a proper place to stop/ park and then I use the Phone. For nav, I have a dedicated Garmin GPS receiver. Listen to music while riding? Hmmm... Some ear defender which can stiil let you hear the traffic sound would be safer. I rarely listen music while driving, only when travelling in light traffic, only on express or motorway, and never in town. Conclusion: anything and any gadget or car/ motorbike non essential feature which can distract from driving/ riding safely, has no use for myself, and probably others should consider doing the same. The statistics are full of accidents with thousands of lost or changed forever lives, caused by people being on phones, instead of paying attention to their driving/ riding. I want to die at a very old age, in my bed, not lying in a puddle of blood or burnt on asphalt.
Thanks for the very useful video, i hope your as happy with your ADV as I have been with mine. Best wishes.
thanks for the video! greeting from Italy
Excelente video. Muchas gracias por compartir, acabo de recibir mi ADV350 y no sabía nada de esto
First class video very helpful to a lot that are struggling

I find it's best use is for controlling music when it's connected to my packtalk. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks someone else informed me about this but I'm sure it wasn't available last year when I got it .thanks for watching 👍

@@chrisbellamy146 thanks for watching 👍
Great video, thank you very much. I think you have raised the handlebars, is it true? Is it more comfortable? Thanks
Thanks for watching. No, I haven't raised the bars I've just loosened them and pushed them forward a little bit for more arm room .
@@Crohniebiker Yes, that's what I meant, to get a bit ahead of ourselves. I will do the same. Thanks for your response
Great tutorial 👍, Get my adv in 2 weeks, do you charge with cable from the USB in cubby hole? What phone holder do you use? Thanks
Yes I do use the usb charge port in glove box, I use the ultimate add ons to hold my phone they work great. Thanks for watching 👍
@@Crohniebiker thank you👍
Cool, but i would see how the Navigation working👍☝️

Yes you can disable the smart key by holding the button until the led goes red then no starting is possible. Thanks for watching and you're kind comment 👍
I have the same system on a PCX you have to be rear of the handlebars and no more than 3ft away
Where is the heat indicator of the scooter it self on the dashboard
They don't have a engine temperature gauge, you just get a overheating light come up on the screen if it overheats.
Luckily it's never happened to me .
Thanks for watching 👍
Can you use this to speak using LINE or WHATSAPP?
Using Samsung S20+ and after 1 minute the navigation loose connection. You know why?
I only use navigation not in combination with music
I have downloaded this app twice now and it still doesn't beep after it says speak after the beep any help would be much appreciated
To be honest I think the beep is so quite I can't hear it either but I just pause a second then say my command and it works for me ,try just saying your command and see if that works. Thanks for watching
Hi, connection worked, but when I want to play Spotify, the switches not respond to my phone.
You have a solution or contact honda
Hi thanks for watching, the only thing I can suggest ,when you're phone is connected ,in Bluetooth make sure you allow audio and calls .hope this helps 👍
Mi zoramah ron thleng ve toh se kan van time ve
How can I bye one
You have to go to honda and place a deposit but you may have to wait a few months unfortunately.
I do not like two things:
- impossoble to run app when not conected to ADV
- only voice interface to search for destination
EDIT:
I did hope 'navigation' here means you have arrows pointing straight, right or left. NO. It does not display such information ('for safety reason'). More, ignition must be ON to connect with ADV. So this is piece of crap.
Yes I agree with you ,now I've used nav a few times I much prefer Google maps as its way more detailed. Thanks for watching 👍
You don’t need this type of distraction when on the road, eyes on the road only…
