BMW navigator iv questions

GSAragazzi · 10-31-2012, 03:06 AM

Hey everyone, I have the chance to buy at a good discount a Nav IV. While I like the features it offers nd the cleanliness of the installation I have some questions I can't seem to find answers to.
Q1: can I receive and make calls on the move? Or does it have a block calls while ridding? One thread (old one) says it has a nanny tool to block using the phone while Garmin website suggests you can call on the move.
Q2: does it allow the use of Scala Rider headsets? I get hry eill eork for the navi promps but ehst sbout the intercom? Somewhere I read it doesn't let you communicate with other passengers bc of its ability of using voice promps. I really like the Scala intercoms and would hate to loose them.

Anything else I should know before I pull the trigger?

Thanks

Can't believe no one knows. Either it's true and you are afraid of admit it or what gives?

Hi - I bought a Nav IV recently - only used the basic functions for one or two weekend rides so unfortunately I can't speak to any of your specific questions.

It was a nice clean install (on the GS1200) - and did everything I needed it to do - sorry I couldn't be more helpful - but here's a free bump for this post to see if it might catch more replies

Hey man thanks! I did it too, bought it and great instal. I'm using a lockable Touratech mount with it and irks great. My only issue is the music. I use a Scala headset, usually I run Pandora on my IPhone but if the Gps is on the headset hooks to it therefore no tunes. I have to upload music to it or turn it off and link to the phone. Why am I writing this? For anyone thinking on getting one, go with the Zumo with Internet hookup. The Nav iv offers speed and fuel meter but I would rather have Pandora or Internet radio. Otherwise Its a Great unit.But wish I would have known this before purchasing.

I have a BMW Nav IV, Scala G4 set, and Iphone 4s

#1- Yes it will take and recieve calls on the move. Very easy to follow prompts on the screen.

#2- Yes, the intercam feature works fine. Although, I have never been able to use the voice commands on any of my Scala headsets....
