Interbike communication systems

[ChinaV]

I used a BT comm system in my old helmet, which was capable of GPS, phone, player and rider to pillion communication.


I learned to hate receiving phone calls while riding
I trust only my own turn by turn instructions anyway
I don't need to listen to music, other than the one emitted by my engine
Talking to my wife on the back through the helmet often resulted in quarrels, as the system turned on automatically every time you swear

Never again for me

A set of high output Motorola radios (powered by AA cells) will be with me in the future instead.

Just my 2 fen

Would never trust the turn by turn in China, but it did work flawlessly in America.
+1 on not listening to music, no band will ever compare to an engine. One thing I really liked about the Scala was the seperate input jack on each unit for an external MP3. It makes the ride more enjoyable for my wife, and we all know about happy wives.
The great thing about helmet coms is being able to talk to your passenger. The big problem with helmet coms is having to listen to your passenger.

Cheers!
