Bluetooth intercom
Ok, obviously I need a helmet to ride this thing on the road, and SWMBO will want one too as she's a bit of a speed freak as well. I'm
thinking £100 is about right on a helmet, not something I want to budget on particularly, and I saw these with built in bluetooth headset -
for a ton each. Then I saw this watsit as well -
Seems to me that if I stick that box in the scuttle connected to the power and pair up the bluetooth then all me and SWMBO have to do is put helmets
on, sit in the car and presto, intercom. Anyone done this? Does it work ok?
Looks like it'll work with GPS and phone as well should I ever create a car reliable enough to need directions, or if I for some reason ever
wish to be contactable when driving.

Strange as it may seem, knowing her she'll be nagging me to go faster... :O

Hi - Where did you see the intercom advertised? Dependent on cost it could be what I need for a job I am working on

It is the short range wireless intercom bit I need - 10 to 20 foot only - to avoid shouting over loud engines

I'm not sure it's out yet - search for "bluecom bluetooth repeater" and there's a couple of review articles. Should be
standard bluetooth 10m range, down to about 3m if there's anything in the way.

That's the conclusion I had prevously reached, but if I'm going to spend a ton a peice on lids anyway I may as well get bluetooth ones for
the same price. Then it'll work with mobile and gps too, and no wires or seperate mic/ear peices to faff about with. As long as it all works
well, which I would imagine it would. Was hoping someone had already used it but guess not!

got the lidl one - works well for the money and also comes with input/adapters for mobile phones mp3 players etc.
The leads are long enough for a small car, with the unit sitting between driver and passenger (clipped onto my seatbelt)
The headsets are comfortable enough even with sunglasses but I couldn't say what they'd be like under a helmet!
The volume is deceptive. Just by the nature of its design the earpiece blocks out some noise and when your passenger speak you can hear it quite
clearly!
I don't know about the battery life but mine has lasted a couple of hours so far!
I'd be interested in hearing about the bluetooth intercom - it's always nicer to lose the wires!
