Autocom intercoms?
Anyone got one?
Any good?
Really need something comfy and good at high speeds for the scotland trip. The lidls £5 one is ok upto about 30mph then you cant hear anything!

I suspect it might be a bit better than a £5 one 
Buy a better helmit, my full face one sucks for wind noise, actually its hellish all I can hear is wind roar and far noiser than my open face offroad
one. saving up for a Arai one

Can't vouch for the Autocom system, but have tried several cheap systems the best of which was maplins, the others were absolute c*ap, the
maplin one was useable but only ok up to around 60-70mph then gets too much wind noise to be audible.
I'd be interested to know if there is anything halfway decent without spending the £150 + forthe Autocom kit.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

the auto com ones are great, especially saying you can plug your ipod, phone and satnav into them as well...ive never had a problem with wind noise at
all.
its what bedford autodrome use on all their open top cars and i think the rest of motorsport vision group use them as well.
although at bedford they have changed the 5 pin din connector for the helmets to a more conventional connector for conveinence and better durability
with people who dont know what their doing...

The basic autocom is £141 for a duo unit (ie the unit and 2 heasets).

I've got an Autocom and can highly recommend them. Driven to Cheshire and back from Hertfordshire and done many track days and has been
excellent. Take a bit of setting up but once in the sweet spot they are amazing.
As a cheaper alternative you could try
THIS . An instructor on one of the track
days used it, but the quality was not as good as the Autocom and he said he only used them as replacment mics and earpieces were cheap and he got
quite a lot broken each year.
