Simply put, it is a system that links your motorcycle to your smartphone, enabling access to smartphone features while you ride.
I want to know how to make it work and what features it has!

1.What are Honda RoadSync and Honda RoadSync Duo?
Honda RoadSync is a system that links your motorcycle and smartphone via Bluetooth*1, so you can use navigation, make phone calls, listen to music, and access other smartphone features. It is primarily used on motorcycles with engines.
In contrast, Honda RoadSync Duo is an evolved system designed specifically for electric motorcycles, featuring suggested navigation.
To use either system, you must install the dedicated smartphone app and pair it with the vehicle.
*1 Bluetooth is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc. in the United States.
I see.
So you need a compatible smartphone and dedicated app?
Yes.
Basic operations can be performed using the handlebar switches. However, to use text-to-speech and voice recognition features, a headset with a built-in microphone is required.
So, you will need three things: a smartphone, the dedicated app, and a headset!
With those three in place, you’re ready to go!
