jkt69 Posted October 27, 2008 #1 Posted October 27, 2008 Does anyone have experience with blue tooth communicating?
StarFan Posted October 27, 2008 #2 Posted October 27, 2008 Me and my wife have Nolan helmets with bluetooth installed. Works perfectly with no bugs, crystal clear and we simply love it. Had no problems with it and the installation and tuning was no problem. Hooks up with the mobile phone and the Garmin as well. Simply love it.

eazyduzzit Posted October 28, 2008 #5 Posted October 28, 2008 Let me ask a similar question. I have absolutely no experience with motorcycle communications. What would I need on a RSTD to be able to talk to my wife and maybe listen to music. I have nothing now, and I'm very ignorant when it comes to electronics.
dragerman Posted October 28, 2008 #6 Posted October 28, 2008 Check with Sunman... he's wired for Blue Tooth

SteveP Posted October 28, 2008 #8 Posted October 28, 2008 You might want to take a look at the Interphone Bluetooth Helmet Kit from BlueAnt. http://www.myblueant.com/interphone-...helmet-kit.htm It's a fully-funtcional helmet-mounted BT headset. You can pair it directly to your BT-enabled phone. If you get two, you can directly pair the two Interphone headsets to serve as rider-to-passenger or even bike-to-bike intercom (though the BT range isn't very far). I used this setup for quite some time before getting my RSV. It's a quality product; small and easy to mount in any helmet.
StarFan Posted October 28, 2008 #9 Posted October 28, 2008 Thanks. Where did you order your stuff from? Bought mine from the Yamaha dealer in Iceland. In USA many shops carry the Nolan helmets and comunication systems and you can also get it off eBay. For full information click the link. http://www.n-com.it/en/n-com/index.html
Sunman Posted October 29, 2008 #10 Posted October 29, 2008 Hello, here is my take. I own the Cellular line interphone system, which is identical to the blue ant system, I am fairly certain they are the same, just branded differently to different distributors. Here is a link to the unit that I have http://radioworld.ca/product_info.php?cPath=403_404&products_id=4303 This is available as a single unit, or in a dual pack, which you would require for communications with your wife. The unit is also very handy for those of us with GPS units, with bluetooth functionality. Here is how mine is set up. I have my cell phone paired with my zumo 550, and my interphone headset paired with the zumo as well. When I am navigating with my GPS, it gives clear instructions and directions to me. When a call comes in, the display shows a very large indicator of who is calling, and I can answer by speaking, or touching the screen. I can also make outgoing calls easily too. For the most part, people have no idea that I am on my bike riding at the time. The unit has a very good signal processor, that cleans up all outside noise. For bike to bike, or rider to passenger communications, it is very similar. You are limited to a much shorter range with bluetooth, than with RF, or CB technology. The unit functions very well within 500 meters, and up to 1000 meters with a clear line of sight. So, for a group ride they are fantastic. For rider to passenger, same thing, great sound clarity. You certainly will not have to worry about being able to hear your passenger. The units come in 2 different styles, for open face & modular, and Full face helmets. You can find them on eBay as well, but my experience was they were not that much cheaper than reputable online merchants. I highly reccomend them. If you have any other specific questions, please feel free to ask, in this thread, or pm, what ever you like. As always, I'm here to help if I can. Sonny
