1999 Venture Intercom

[ckoel]

Has anyone add a smart phone to the existing intercom system on a 1999 Venture?

In what manner? I'm in the process of doing that now. Built my own adapter to use a set of smart phone headsets with boom mic and integrate an Iphone so we can have more than txt conversations with the kids while we are traveling. I have done the mock up on the iphone integration and it worked sitting in the garage. Have made one trip with the headset around town and worked very well with the exception of needing a better windsock, but have yet to put it all together on the road. Trying to build one for a friends HD before I go any further on my set......HD sound system is not as user friendly as our Yamaha.

I have the stock intercom, radio, cb on the venture and would just like to send and receive calls on my phone thru the intercom system. Now I ride for a while pull over stop and see if I had any calls. I know I can buy a aftermarket bluetooth headset with radio but then I four speakers and two mic's in the helment.

I see that this system requires a bluetooth GPS if I am understanding the layout correctly. Is there a way to use our bluetooth headsets without a GPS unit. Some how I seem to recall someone with a bluetooth adapter that required no other equipment...a "dongle" maybe.

 

I wish to hear the music and operate the CB with my Scala Rider existing head sets is what I am after.

YES I receive and make calls through my Zumo 550.

it will even show your contacts list in the Zumo as well.

my phone stays in the trunk.

This should work. You may also want to check with Sierra Electronics. They may also have something that would work and be more cost competitive.

Kevin,

 

This is the only one currently available that I know of that will allow you to use your CB through the bluetooth headsets (as well as the rest of the onboard audio system). You would want the one for the Goldwing, since the Venture uses the same 5 pin connector.

There is another product very close to completion from BikeMP3. Not available quite yet but will use the Sena bluetooth dual channel transmitter (SM10) and the SR10 receiver to integrate all the audio components as well. Difference is that it will transmit 2 audio streams allowing a passenger with a BT headset to also hear the bike audio. Should be available in a very short time according to info on the GL1800Riders forum.

Is this what you were thinking of Kevin?

You are attending the Washington Meet and Eat at the end of the month so perhaps you can arrange something with your host.

Reference my post right above yours. I own the SM10 and it is great. However, it only streams from your built in audio (or a cable-attached auxiliary device) to one or two headsets. It does not allow your CB to transmit using your bluetooth headset mic....that is not integrated into the system.

Sena also makes an SR10 receiver which will transmit from your mic to a third party radio (such as the family channel radios or maybe even the J&M CB) but this radio must be attached directly to the SR10 with an aux cable. Sena customer service has said that they have no plans to integrate this into the onboard CB system of the Goldwing, so I am assuming that they aren't going to do it for the Venture either.

This is where Pete from BikeMP3 has stepped in. He has developed a system that uses the SM10 plus the SR10 and ties them in to the bike's audio system using a harness and circuit board that he has designed. Pre-production units have been seen working, and Pete says that the initial run of the circuit boards and harnesses have arrived. He is only waiting for some connectors to arrive and he will be ready to begin selling these units.

 

I already own the Sena SMH-10 bluetooth headsets (which are awesome) and the SM10 dual streaming transmitter. When Pete's product is available I am going to buy it as well as the Sena SR10 so I can have total integration without wired headsets. The sound system from the Goldwing, including the CB, will then work. Also, my phone and GPS will tie in. I'm really looking forward to this.

I have the SMH10 headsets and agree they are indeed awesome. Was planning on getting an SM10 this Spring. My CB doesn't work and I probably won't bother with the headache of trying to fix it although I wish it did work. I knew the Yamaha and Honda 5 pin audio connector could be hooked into the SM10 and just assumed it would work with the CB as well.

 

Thanks for the clarification.
