Introduction
The MaedHawk Bypass 2.0 is a compact adapter designed to enable CarPlay or Android Auto functionality on compatible motorcycle infotainment systems without requiring a physical headset. It presents itself as a wireless headset to the infotainment system, allowing audio to play through the motorcycle's speakers. This device also features a passthrough USB-C port for convenient phone charging. It is specifically engineered for motorcycles where the infotainment system requires a paired Bluetooth headset to activate CarPlay or Android Auto.
Please note that the MaedHawk Bypass 2.0 does not convert wired CarPlay/Android Auto to wireless. Its primary function is to fulfill the headset requirement for wireless CarPlay/Android Auto activation. It does not function as a microphone for voice assistants (Siri/Google Assistant) or phone calls.
