Thinking hard about a XT2.
Something I haven't been able to find out. Let's say I have Waze map app running on my android phone patched into the XT and then my Sena system. Will the audio alerts from the Waze app play through the system? Or will the XT "block" that audio and only play music/phone calls etc. I'm assuming it will just patch through any audio from the phone but who the heck knows these days.
Police alerts, object on road alerts etc on Waze are something I couldn't live without.
Audio from apps through the XT to my headset question.

I have such setup (android phone + Sena headset + XT2) and any audio from the phone is sent to the headset through XT2 so you also should be able to hear alerts from the Waze app.

Re: Audio from apps through the XT to my headset question.
I took the phone music out of the equation due to its unreliable Bluetooth comm with the XT. I loaded 2500 mp3 songs on my SD card and now get music and turn instructions directly from the gps and use the phone for traffic & weather alerts and a text machine. I use wired earbuds so if I want, say, Sirius/XM I just plug into my phone instead of mt Bluetooth receiver thingy.
I can't imagine Waze routing and gps routing would play well with each other.

Wouldn't be using the waze routing. Just using it for the alerts.
Even if you don't insert a destination, just with the app running it will give you the "police ahead" stuff.
So much road construction around here going from 35 to 75 to 45 to 65 multiple times in the span of 5 miles. Good to get those pings and do a double check of speed.
