  • Verify your smartphone meets the minimum OS requirements (iOS 6+ for CarPlay, Android 11+ for Android Auto).
  • Ensure your phone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (5GHz for Android Auto) are enabled.
  • Confirm that your phone is not directly connected to your helmet/earphones via Bluetooth.
  • Restart both the BM600 Pro and your smartphone, then attempt pairing again.
  • Check the list of incompatible Android phone models (Section 5.5).
• No audio output: Ensure your Bluetooth helmet or earphones are properly paired to the BM600 Pro and are powered on. Check volume levels on both the device and your helmet/earphones.
