MaedHawk Bypass Motorcycle CarPlay Bluetooth Headset Adapter with Passthrough USB-C Charging Port

*** I write this as an owner and user of an iPhone. I suggest you check the product description for compatibility of other phones BEFORE purchasing. My only experience using this is with Apple / iPhones. **** Let's face it, the biggest complaint that I hear from other riders is that motorcycle GPS systems are woefully inadequate and often inaccurate. I know mine could be a LOT better, but I've accepted that the interface is only a platform to use better apps. Unfortunately, CarPlay won't work on our bikes WITHOUT a hand-free connection like a Cardo or SENA device provides. FEAR NOT - this MaedHawk eliminates the "hands-free" demand of those units to give you access to CarPlay on your equipped motorcycle. The MaedHawk is a fraction of the price of a Cardo or SENA headset. It also takes up a fraction of the space - which is always at a premium on motorcycles. **** Your Bike MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE GPS SYSTEM / subscription for this device to work. This is NOT a hardware workaround to a missing software option **** ****Both the male and female end of this device is USB-C, so PLAN ACCORDINGLY FOR ADAPTERS / CABLES to connect it between your bike and phone. Once in place on your bike, it's a simple matter of pairing the device to your bike, then making a physical connection between the phone and MaedHawk. Once complete, you should see CarPlay on your touch screen. This is pretty handy for using that app, Google Maps, Waze, Weather apps - whatever you have installed on your iPhone that you want to access through the touchscreen on your bike. When properly connected, the MaedHawk will also CHARGE your phone while you're using the available apps. You should check that you hear the tone that it's charging when you connect it before your ride. I have had the most success maintaining a connection using USB to USB-C CABLES over ADAPTERS. The cable connections seem more secure and provide some flexibility in storing the MaedHawk and Phone in a compartment in the bike. Adapters seem to work themselves loose from vibration far more often than the cables. This device performs well to solve the connectivity issues of a hands-free requirement to use CarPlay / phone apps on your motorcycle's touch screen.

Excellent product; simply plug it in and connect. Easy installation, seamless connectivity, and optimal performance

Works flawlessly on my 2025 street glide. Never failed to connect to my phone. Took 3 minutes to set up and connect

25 streetglide. It’s nice that it automatically connects but it doesn’t play any sound, I have to disconnect and reconnect it to work then after about 5-10 mins it cuts out and I have to keep disconnecting and reconnecting. I bought it 2 months ago and just tried it so I’m past my return period and this will now be going in the trash. Rode the bike 3 days and been using Bluetooth instead since this won’t keep connection. I have a unit from Tim’s Stereo Systems in my 24 roadglide and 2,700 miles of use with it and I have never lost connection or had to reset it. I read about the maedhawk since they are cheap for my new streetglide but I guess you get what you pay for. I’ll be ordering another from Tim’s.

It is finiky. The adapter must be connected first, then the phone. Otherwise it’s a cramp shoot if it connects. If not, you may have to remove it and re -pair. After the initial connection, the volume control was limited to a max 1/4 volume. I removed and paired again the next day and it was ok. Seems to work ok if you’re not switching between helmet. But slow to connect.

It took a little bit of playing around to get it to work on my Harley Davidson. I had to use the device manager and make sure that it was placed in the Rider roll and not the passenger. Definitely watch the videos and pay attention but once it’s hooked up, it works well.

Easy install and works fine.

It’s good when it wants to work. And when it works i love it. But usually it goes out after an hour of riding. For the price not bad

Werkt perfect om je Harley te koppelen met Apple CarPlay zonder headset.

Wonderful technology that works as advertised and solves one of the problems with connecting CarPlay to my motorcycle. Fantastic.

Plug n play

Funciona perfectamente en una Indian y establece y restablece la conexión más rápido que cualquier intercomunicador.
